Why Cats Are Better Than Dogs
Buzzle

I’m aware that this is a very unpopular opinion, but I promise I can back up my preference with real facts. Clearly, I am a cat person. I grew up with four dogs and two cats in my life time, and out of all of my animals, I enjoyed my cats’ company the most. Both of my cats were rescues. The first one we adopted, Roxy, was neglected and left to die on the side of a road as soon as she was birthed. My family took her into our home and bottle fed her to health. She is now a happy eight-year-old cat who lives in our front yard and sleeps in the garage.

My second cat, Mitt, was rescued from the side of a road as well, but he was a little older when we first got him. Still, he continues to live happily and healthy in our home.

My cats are my best non-human friends. I relate to them and I admire how they interact with their environment. I think they are so fascinating and so smart. They are such cunning, rambunctious, cuddly, intelligent, beautiful and mysterious creatures. So here’s a concrete list of why cats are so much better than dogs.

They don’t need as much attention.

They can feed themselves.

Their fur is incredibly soft.

They have cute little meows, not loud, screechy barks.

They have beautifully colored eyes.

They’re super chill.

You don't need to take them for walks.

They know where the bathroom is every time and aim pretty well.

Their litter box’s are super easy to clean and maintain.

They can climb trees.

They like to use our legs as rubbing posts.

You never have to bathe them.

They are extremely photogenic.

They are the best furry little therapists.

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.

"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.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week.
