10 Things You Say To Your Fur-Baby On A Daily Basis

I often find myself awake in the middle of the night, while my fur child is running laps around my bedroom and I just think to myself... "Why?"

10 Things You Say To Your Fur-Baby On A Daily Basis
Elizabeth Clark

In This Article:

So many people nowadays, college-aged or otherwise, own a pet. Obviously, the most popular animals you see are dogs and cats. I own a kitten, her name is Daisy and she is the best.

Seriously, I will fight you if you disagree with me.

Recently, I've found myself repeating some phrases. And I've also seen on social media that other people think the same way and hold pretty much the exact same or slightly altered one-sided conversations with their fur-baby.

Like these:

1. Let. Me. Sleep.

Giphy

Like, it's four in the morning. Let me go back to sleep, I don't want to play with you. You don't need food right now. Stop chewing my hair.

2. Can you not? 

Giphy

You looked me dead in the eye and did the thing I specifically told you not to do. Like... can you not?

3. Are you comfortable like that?

Animals are known to place themselves in very odd positions. Whenever I find Daisy in one of them, the only thing I can ever ask anymore is: "Are you comfortable???"

4. I literally just bought that and you already destroyed it. 

Giphy

How rude.

5. You can't eat this, you won't like it. 

Giphy

Mother knows best.

6. What are you chewing on?

Giphy

Please don't swallow it. Please don't swallow it. Please don't swallow it.

7. Why are you like this?

Giphy

You're actually the dumbest. No other cat/dog/other but you would get themselves into this situation.

8.  *Pats down next to self* Come snuggle.  

Giphy

9. Don't go anywhere, I'm just going to the store. I'll be home soon. 

Giphy

10. Mommy/Daddy loves you. 

Giphy

*Refers to pet as child in any given scenario*

Please tell me I'm not the only one who does this. I need that kind of reassurance in my life.

11 Things Summer Nannies Can Relate To

As a college student, being a nanny over the summer is both enjoyable and challenging. Underneath the seemingly perfect trips to the pool or countless hours spent playing Monopoly are the obstacles that only nannies will understand. Trading in your valuable summer vacation in return for three months spent with a few children less than half your age may seem unappealing, but so many moments make it rewarding. For my fellow summer nannies out there, I know you can relate.

To The Girl Who Falls Too Fast, Never Be Ashamed Of How Hard You Love

Love hard, every day, and never be ashamed.

If it hurts now, it'll hurt again. Not because you're gullible or naive, only because you fall fast, hard, and you do it every time.

We fall each and every time with the complete and utter confidence that someone will be there to catch us. Now that person we SWORE we were never going to fall for has our hearts, and every time we see them our palms start sweating. The butterflies in our stomach start to soar and our hearts are entirely too close to bursting out of our chests.

Growing up I have always wanted to own a horse. My grandparents own a well known equestrian facility in Georgia, so I have been riding since I was born. A bond between a person and their horse is a bond so strong that it cannot be broken. Everywhere I went I wanted to be around horses, even forcing my family to go on trail rides during vacations. Horses have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember has taught me great responsibility, as well as 14 things that all equestrians can relate to.

College is super hard. Between working, studying, and having a social life, it feels like a struggle to just keep afloat.

I understand. When you feel like your drowning and there's no way to stay afloat I understand that it feels like everyone else is doing just fine. I understand all the frustration, long nights in the library, and that feeling that you want to just throw in the towel. I understand that sometimes it's too hard to get out of bed because your brain is already filled with too much information to remember. I understand because I am also feeling pretty burnt out.

Some of the best advice I've ever received was from my social studies teacher in sophomore year of high school. He stated, "If you don't know it at midnight, you're not going to know it for the 8 a.m. exam, so get some sleep."

It's such a simple piece of advice, but it holds so much accuracy and it's something that the majority of college students need to hear and listen to. "All-nighters" are a commonality on college campuses in order to cram in studying for an exam that is typically the next day.
