The Struggles Of Being A Cat Person

You don't own your cat, your cat owns you.

The Struggles Of Being A Cat Person

In the past year, being a cat person has become more socially acceptable, and dare I say — trendy? Cats have always fallen second to their canine counterparts, but cat people around the world are finally getting the recognition they deserve. However, there still exist a very specific set of struggles that only a tried and true cat person knows.

1. Your cat runs your life.

"Look at me. Look at me. I'm the captain now." — Your Cat

2. Cats are actually furry assassins.

You don't know when or where they are lurking, but you know they are always plotting their next move.

3. Non-cat people don't understand your obsession.

"Yes I really, truly, genuinely would rather stay at home with my cat then go out ..."

4. You can't have nice things. Ever.

From that glass vase you adore to your last can of Diet Coke, cats love taking everything you love and destroying it. But what's more, you let them.

5. You can only cuddle, when they want to cuddle. No exceptions.

Cat's are the best cuddle buddies, but only when they deem it acceptable.

6. You can't quit them.

No matter how many sharp nails, judgmental stares and aggressive meows you face, you just can't find it in yourself to love cats any less.

Now that Halloween is over, it's time to focus on the Holiday Season. Don't get me wrong, I think Thanksgiving is great and can't wait for it, but nothing gives me greater joy than watching Freeform's 25 Days of Christmas, lighting peppermint scented candles, decking the halls, and baking gingerbread cookies. So while we approach the greatest time of the year, let's watch the 15 best Christmas movies of all time.

6 Signs You Are An English Major

There are various stereotypes about college students, most of which revolve around the concept of your major. Unfortunately, we often let stereotypes precede our own judgments, and we take what information is immediately available to us rather than forming our own opinions after considerable reflection. If I got a dollar for every time my friends have made a joke about my major I could pay my tuition. One stereotype on campus is the sensitive, overly critical and rigid English major. Here are six telltale signs you are one of them.

"The Office" is a mockumentary based on everyday office life featuring love triangles, silly pranks and everything in between. It can get pretty crazy for just an average day at the office.

When you were little, your parents probably told you television makes your brain rot so you wouldn't watch it for twelve straight hours. However, I feel we can learn some pretty valuable stuff from television shows. "The Office," while a comedy, has some pretty teachable moments thrown in there. You may not know how to react in a situation where a co-worker does something crazy (like put your office supplies in jello) but thanks to "The Office," now you'll have an idea how to behave ifsomething like that should happen.

Here are just a few of the things that religious Office watchers can expect to learn.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

Books were always about understanding for me, about learning the way someone else sees, about connection.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

I keep making this joke whenever the idea of books is brought up: "God, I wish I knew how to read." It runs parallel to another stupid phrase, as I watch my friends struggle through their calculus classes late at night in our floor lounge: "I hope this is the year that I learn to count." They're both truly idiotic expressions, but, when I consider the former, I sometimes wonder if there's some truth to it.
