A Letter To My Cats

To My Furry Feline Friends,

Thank you for your endless cuddles and mounds of cat hair that is left on my pants whenever I leave the house. I appreciate the time we share together, even when it consists of you pawing at my until I give you attention or when you decide my head is the best place to reside. I can not thank you enough for all of the times you comforted me when you knew I was down, and you rubbed your furry little face up against mine and let out that cute little meow, reminding me you were not going to leave my side. I am inspired by the way you can stay up all hours of the night and not feel guilty about sleeping all day, and repeating the cycle for the rest of the week. I wish I could do that. Without you I would be alone, with no one to talk to at night when it is dark and lonely. Without you, I would have no one to binge watch Netflix with or to accompany me to the bathroom in the middle of the night. I appreciate that you do accompany me to the bathroom, however it is frustrating when you decide to jump on my lap during the process. I am grateful that you are willing to try new foods when I force them upon you, especially the banana because I know you were not the biggest fan of that one. You did however like that last bite of my peanut butter and jelly sandwich which I planned on eating. But, it was the least I could in return for the abundance of love you show me. Thank you for always greeting me at the door when I come home from school on the weekends, and thank you for keeping my side of the bed warm while I am gone. I love that you do not stop me from PURRcrastinating when I should be doing many things other than playing with you and the laser pointer. Thank you for trying your hardest not to chew my head phones or chargers while I am away, I know it can be tempting. I love it when you follow me around like a lost puppy, because it makes me feel important, and wanted. It is really scary when you stare at the walls or hiss at the shadows that pass by, but I feel blessed to know I have cats who can talk to the deceased. It is nice to say that I have magical cats who can see things us humans can’t. Most of all, I want to say thank you for being my best friends, and thank you for never leaving my side especially since my life is an utter CATastrophe.

Sincerely,

Ca(i)tlin

15 Times "Parks and Recreation" Summed Up Your Library Experience

"I've only slept nine hours over the past four days, so I'm right on the verge of a nervous breakdown." - Leslie Knope

Parks and Recreation excitedly gathered around a laptop at a table in an office setting.

The library. Club lib. The place every college student goes when they want to try and be a productive member of society. Who better to explain your experience than Parks and Rec?

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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.

Students walking on a sunny college campus with trees and buildings.

"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.
