What No One Tells You About Getting A Cat

Cats are one of the most joyous creatures on the face of this Earth. From their little bean pads to the twitching whiskers, any time you look at them you're instantly filled with glee.


If you have the thought of adopting one, you might not think twice about the antics that come along with it. These are the untold things that come with your new cat child.


They have different meows

From the "I don't care that it's 3 am, I'm hungry" meow to the "Why aren't you giving me the attention I'm not sure I want"meow, you get to learn them, just like a baby and its different cries.


They will knock over everything

Oh, I'm sorry, this is your favorite glass? It would be a shame if.... something were to happen to it.....

Sometimes they'll want to cuddle. Most of the time, they won't

Or they'll make it seem like they want to cuddle and suddenly they won't nothing to do with you

They can be expensive

Toys, litter, food, vet bills. Cats aren't just something to have. You need to be able to take care of them and all of their needs.

But, they'll find more joy in bottle caps or wrappers than they ever will with the toys you buy them

Save some cash, keep your caps.

Your curtains mean nothing to them

I hope you like that torn look in your curtains, or the bends in the blinds.

There's no such thing as personal space

They aren't afraid to climb right into your lap when you're sitting on the toilet.

They're the best excuse to get out of plans

Wow, I would LOVE to, but i really need to get home and feed my at.

You'll realize that you've never loved something so much

My best friend has four paws.

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter
morethanwheels

I've been in college for four years now. I spent half my time as a commuter and half as a resident so I've experienced both sides of the housing spectrum. One thing I've learned comparing the two is that my struggles as a commuter far outweigh anything I went through while living on campus. Commuters have to deal with the problems school brings along with a slew of other issues; I've filled up my gas tank in the worst kind of weather conditions and napped in random places in public more times than I'm proud to say of. This is a list of some of the most challenging aspects of being a commuter.

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!
