30 Thoughts Your Cat Has When You Come Home From College

Moving away to college can be hard for most young adults, but for college students who are also cat parents can have a whole different level of difficulty. Some cats can suffer from separation anxiety from their owners when they move away from college while some really just don't care. As a mother to a wonderful orange tabby girl, I would have those days where I would miss having a fluffy cat curl up next to me when I go to bed. My baby girl would spend a few days trying to find me during the first week of college, but then adapts to being loving to my dad. Thankfully once the school year ends, most students will come back home and get greeted by their fur baby, but what could go inside the mind of a cat when you come back? There are several things cats think about the moment they see you come back after college.

1. Did you get me a bird present if you've been gone for so long?
2. Are you here to finally pet me?
3. Do you want to see the gifts I saved you?
4. Did you put on or lose any weight?
5. I've never seen this human in my entire life!
6. Please don't run after me.
7. I'm as excited as you are coming back but I need my personal space.
8. Can I play in those boxes?
9. I smell food, is that for me?
10. Is that another cat I smell?
11. Did you pet any other cats while you were away?
12. It's cool that you're back but, can you feed me now?
13. Just tell me what was so special to that made you left for months?
14. You didn't even bother to get me a new friend?
15. I expected you to come back with Meow Mix.
16. I told the other cats in the neighbor that you were just at the store.
17. Did you really think I was going to wait for you by the door?
18. The human left the door open, maybe I should escape.
19. I'm judging your new fashion choices.
20. Why do you smell like bitter coffee beans?
21. Please tell me that bag is full of new cat food.
22. Does that mean I don't have to be affectionate to everyone else in the house anymore?
23. Thank goodness you're back, the dog keeps wanting to befriend me!
24. You disturbed my slumber with your return.
25. Good, my main servant has returned to their master.
26. You must be building me a condo with all of those boxes you have.
27. I'm probably not going to go near you until a few days later.
28. Now that you've return, can you please fill up my food bowl?
29. I'll stay up here and judge the little reunion going on with the family.
30. You know, despite everything, I kinda really do miss you.


No matter what cat breed you have, cats seem to always have a mind of their own and aren't fully dependent to humans. Additionally, cats have their own unique ways of expressing that they've missed you while you were away from college.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
