6 Things Every 20-Something Crazy Cat Lady Knows To Be True

Are you a twenty-something crazy cat lady?

6 Things Every 20-Something Crazy Cat Lady Knows To Be True

I just want to start off with the fact that there is absolutely nothing wrong with loving furry felines. However, at 21 years old I have definitely acquired the crazy cat lady title. But what does a crazy cat lady entail?

1. You don't own any black pants

It does not matter how many times we wash our jeans, and especially leggings, no pair of black pants are safe. I have a lint roller in my car at all times, and no matter how many times I roll it over all of the places where I thought all the hair was, there is always a huge spot, or a million stray hairs that I missed. Plus they always decide to be lovey dovey right as you are about to walk out the door... or maybe they are secretly trying to ruin your outfit. The world may never know.

2. Having to lock them out of rooms

My cats flip out if I lock them out of any room that I am in, and have no problem with sitting right outside the door, and meowing and moaning making it sound like WWIII is happening right outside my door. They also know the rooms that they absolutely cannot go into, and sprint in there the minute the door cracks open 1/8 of an inch.

3. Not knowing if you just really don't wanna go out, or if you just really want to hang with your cats

My friends just know at this point if I don't want to go out, I really just want to hang out with my cats. Or, they can't tell whether or not I am joking... but I don't joke about that.

4. Cereal is not a safe breakfast option

This isn't entirely their fault, but one of my friends used to give them the extra milk out of the cereal bowl, and now they will try everything to get into my bowl. Climb the chairs, hop onto my shoulders, get on my lap, the table...there aren't any safe spots anymore.

5. You have more cat items than you will ever admit

Between shirts, towels, pajamas, signs, and everything else, it's hard to say no. My personal favorite things are: a sign that says "I work hard so my cat can have a good life" and my go-to wine glass that says " It's not drinking alone if the cat is home".

6. You find cat toys EVERYWHERE

I don't know why, but they somehow always end up in my gym bag... Is it because I'm spending my time at the gym and not loving on my fur babies? They know how to guilt trip.

This is for the girls who have dealt with an emotionally, mentally, physically or verbally abusive father.

The ones who have grown up with a false lens of what love is and how relationships should be. The ones who have cried themselves to sleep wondering why he hurts you and your family so much. This is for all the girls who fall in love with broken boys that carry baggage bigger than their own, thinking it's their job to heal them because you watched your mother do the same.

Blair Waldorf Quote
"DESTINY IS FOR LOSERS. IT'S JUST A STUPID EXCUSE TO WAIT FOR THINGS TO HAPPEN INSTEAD OF MAKING THEM HAPPEN." - BLAIR WALDORF.

The world stopped in 2012 when our beloved show "Gossip Girl" ended. For six straight years, we would all tune in every Monday at 9:00 p.m. to see Upper Eastside royalty in the form of a Burberry headband clad Blair Waldorf. Blair was the big sister that we all loved to hate. How could we ever forget the epic showdowns between her and her frenemy Serena Van Der Woodsen? Or the time she banished Georgina Sparks to a Christian summer camp? How about that time when she and her girls took down Bart Bass? Blair is life. She's taught us how to dress, how to be ambitious, and most importantly, how to throw the perfect shade.

too tired to care

We've all been there. From move-in day to the first finals week in college, your first term is an adventure from start to finish. In honor of college decisions coming out recently, I want to recap some of the most common experiences college freshmen experience.

1. The awkward hellos on move-in day.

You're moving your stuff onto your floor, and you will encounter people you don't know yet in the hallway. They live on your floor, so you'll awkwardly smile and maybe introduce yourself. As you walk away, you will wonder if they will ever speak to you again, but don't worry, there's a good chance that you will make some great friends on your floor!

Recently I completed my freshman year of college, and boy, what an experience. It was a completely new learning environment and I can't believe how much I learned. In an effort to save time, here are the ten biggest lessons I learned from my first year of college.

1. Everyone is in the same boat

For me, the scariest part of starting school was that I was alone, that I wouldn't be able to make any friends and that I would stick out. Despite being told time and time again that everyone had these same feelings, it didn't really click until the first day when I saw all the other freshman looking as uneasy and uncomfortable as me. Therefore, I cannot stress this enough, everyone is feeling as nervous as you.
