10 Things That Cats Can Do, That Would Get Any Other Roommate Kicked Out

Cats are the new go-to obsession, but, MAN, can they be jerks. At the end of the day you love them endlessly, but the amount of things that they get away with is insane. They get away with things that you would kick a regular roommate out for.

**Author's Note: below are things I experience everyday with my cat KiKi,

who is the amazing cat in all of the photos below.**

1. Laying on top of the table.

Even when your roommate is drunk, you still don't allow them to lay on the table like it is their bed. A cat lays on the table and you take pictures (how cute are they?!?!).

2. Knocking everything off of the table.

If you had a roommate knock something off the table, you would expect them to pick it up.

With a cat, they knock something off and you pick it up.

3. Laying on your face...with their butt.

Sometimes their is nothing better than laying in bed with your roommate and talking about life's problems, but the moment they place their butt on your face, it is over.

A cat lays down on your face with their butt, you may leave them or you move to make them comfortable.

4. Spending time to put together their food, just for them to knock the whole thing over and walk away.

There is no better feeling than making a meal and sharing it with your roommates. You can't wait to hear how good they think it is. The moment they are unappreciative is the moment you no longer want to cook for them ever again.

A cat walks in and knocks over their food, you walk behind them and clean it up, then call them their cute nickname.

5. Biting to get your attention.

Sometimes roommates need attention, but if anyone dared to bite me, they would get punched in the face.

A cat gives you a little nibble, you end up spending 30 minutes rubbing their belly.

6. Cleaning/Licking themselves right in front of you and all of your guests.

Even showering with the door open is a little odd.

A cat cleans themselves wherever and whenever they want, no one bats an eye.

7. Eating straight off your plate without asking.

I have stabbed people with a fork for less(kidding, obviously).

A cat eats off your plate, you give them more than their share after that.

8. Running around loudly at all hours of the night.

Nothing worse than your roommate waking you up at all hours of the night being loud and obnoxious. This is the moment that leads to a very uncomfortable talk the next day.

A cat runs around like crazy, you wake up and tell yourself "well at least the cat will nap tomorrow".

9. Taking over your bed.

Imagine going into your room to go to sleep, but yet you find your roommate sound sleep in the middle of your bed. That is the moment you wake them up and tell them to get into their own bed.

A cat is sleeping in the middle of your bed, you cuddle up around them (uncomfortably I might add) and snap pics with them.

10. Taking over the entire house.

Nothing is more frustrating than that roommate who leaves their stuff EVERYWHERE. Clothes in the living room, dishes in the bedroom, make-up and such all over the bathroom.

A cat has hair on every part of the furniture and toys all over the house, but it is like you don't even see it.


The above list is a list that you would use to kick out a roommate, but for cats, rules don't apply to them. Save yourself some time and just admit now that the cat runs the house, you just live in it.

As college students, we are all familiar with the horror show that is course registration week. Whether you are an incoming freshman or selecting classes for your last semester, I am certain that you can relate to how traumatic this can be.

1. When course schedules are released and you have a conflict between two required classes.

Bonus points if it is more than two.

Here's a personal archive of a few of the things I learned after going away for the first time.

Economic Benefits of Higher Wages

Nobody deserves to be living in poverty.

Raising the minimum wage to a livable wage would not only benefit workers and their families, it would also have positive impacts on the economy and society. Studies have shown that by increasing the minimum wage, poverty and inequality can be reduced by enabling workers to meet their basic needs and reducing income disparities.

I come from a low-income family. A family, like many others in the United States, which has lived paycheck to paycheck. My family and other families in my community have been trying to make ends meet by living on the minimum wage. We are proof that it doesn't work.

As an English Major in college, I have a lot of writing and especially creative writing pieces that I work on throughout the semester and sometimes, I'll find it hard to get the motivation to type a few pages and the thought process that goes behind it. These are eleven thoughts that I have as a writer while writing my stories.

April Ludgate

Every college student knows and understands the struggle of forcing themselves to continue to care about school. Between the piles of homework, the hours of studying and the painfully long lectures, the desire to dropout is something that is constantly weighing on each and every one of us, but the glimmer of hope at the end of the tunnel helps to keep us motivated. While we are somehow managing to stay enrolled and (semi) alert, that does not mean that our inner-demons aren't telling us otherwise, and who is better to explain inner-demons than the beloved April Ludgate herself? Because of her dark-spirit and lack of filter, April has successfully been able to describe the emotional roller-coaster that is college on at least 13 different occasions and here they are.
