5 Unique Pets You Might Want To Own

1. Chinchilla

Giphy

I can give you the rundown on chinchillas because I have two of them. These little guys are so much fun. They each have their own personality, and are crazy. Most of the time they have to stay in a cage, however, because if they get loose it is really hard to catch them. But as long as you have a good hold of them whenever they are out of the cage, they usually won't try to run away from you. They are pretty low-maintenance pets.

2. Wallaby

Giphy

A wallaby is literally my dream pet. Imagine playing around at the park or on your college campus with a miniature freaking kangaroo. From what I have heard, they act just like dogs most of the time, but require a little bit more care than dogs and cats.

3. Hedgehog

Giphy

I also know a little bit about this pet because my cousin brought his down during Christmas. It wouldn't be my ideal pet, since it isn't that cuddly. It might look the part, but the quills are actually pretty prickly. They also can get annoyed pretty easily, but once they warm up to you they can be fun to play with.

4. Sugar Glider

Giphy

These things are so cool. If you wouldn't have to clean the cages all the time I would try to sneak one on campus with me. They seem to sound a lot like chinchilla care, pretty low maintenance, but they aren't going to just hang out with you like a dog, they'll probably want to run around and glide.

5. Capybara

Giphy

How cool would it be to have your giant hamster greet your guests at the door when they come over for dinner. The big problem with owning a Capybara is that you would have to have two. Apparently they don't do well alone. Also, you would have to have an outdoor enclosure. If you have the space for it though, they would be a freaking awesome pet.

40 Gift Ideas for the Indecisive

It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. But also a time of stressing over the perfect gift.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

Bucket List To Live In The Now

Find excitement in your life and start exploring wherever you are right here, right now.

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…

If you go to or went to Kent State, then more than likely you have done or will do some of these things.

1. You’ve slipped and fallen on the ice at least once.
