1. Companionship

Whether we want to admit it or not we need someone to be there by our side. Cats can be soothing, and comforting to many people.


2. Clean

There's a smaller chance of cleaning up after a cat, and you don't have to give them a bath as much as a dog, unless they go outside a lot.

3. Less needy

They are so independent and can manage on their own for long periods of time.


4. Not as loud

They typically don't meow at the door until the mailman leaves or when they see some kind of rodent running around from the window.

5. Loving

Yes, cats are able to show affections. It's just in different ways, like bringing you a dead rat or frog they caught. All they are trying to say is, "Hey look I took the time out of my day to catch a meal I thought was worthy and I am giving it to you." They also purr which could mean all kinds of things like, "I'm happy you are petting me," or "I'm glad to see you too."

6. Personality

I know that all animals have personalities, but have you ever seen, or have two or more cats and notice that they are completely different. Almost like most siblings tend to be.

7. Talkative

Cats are typically quiet, but they know we love to talk, so they try to communicate with us. Those meows are created especially for you, so feel loved.

8. Longer life

They don't actually have nine lives, but where do you think the phrase comes from?


9. Hilarious

I'm sure all of us have seen a crazy, funny cat video some time in our lives. Or adored over some serious cuteness, don't worry it's okay to be obsessed.

10. Humanly

What also makes them great and humorous is their humanly features and sad attempts to copy their owners, or what they may think of as hairless friends.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
