Something that all cat owners can relate to.

10 Times Having A Cat Makes Your Life Better, Including When They're Definitely Judging You
Lindsey Lott

I recently just got a cat, and these are the perks that I have noticed in my life in the past week since I got her.

1. Constant entertainment

Literally... they will be having a spaz attack at 10 p.m. and you just can't help but to laugh hysterically.

2. Always enough judgment to go around

With my cat, I always feel like she is judging me. To what I wear, to my friends, and everything in-between.

3. Snuggle buddies... when they want to be sweet

They love to snuggle, but it has to be on their time. If you have a cat, you understand this. If you don't have a cat, if they don't want to lay down with you, they just won't. But if your cat is sweet like mine, she will :)

4. They are low maintenance

Cats are nothing like puppies or other animals. They don't have to be under constant surveillance. And if you had to leave them at home alone, it would not be a problem since they do their own thing anyway.

5. They are interested in anything that moves

Lasers, toys, balls. You name it, a cat (a kitten even more so) will chase it and play with it. I once bought my cat a toy, and she played with the wrapper, not the toy.

From my cat: they type on your keyboard for you.

7. Always waiting on you when you get home

Always! There is just something about having an animal be excited to see you that warms my heart.

8. Use a litter box

There is no need have to spend extensive amount of time potty training them. For the most part, it is an instinct. They know where they are suppose to go to the bathroom. However, you just need to make sure the litter box is always easily accessible.

9. They do not destroy everything

You can leave shoes, homework, books, and a number of other things on the ground or out in the open, and you won't have to worry about it being totally destroyed when you come back home.

10. They will be your best friend

There, I said it, a cat can and will be your best friend. Just give them the love and affection they need.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings. All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
