5 Ways You Can Identify With Cats
Business Insider

If you have ever had a cat or been around a feline friend, I am sure that you have somehow seen something in them that you love (unless you do not like cats). If you dislike cats, be prepared for your mindset to change, because they are awesome creatures. Here, you will find 5 ways that you can identify with cats, and maybe see yourself in them in more ways than you could have imagined.

1. Laziness

Cats are notorious for being indolent creatures and you would be lying to yourself if you did not have a day in your life where you wanted to sit around and do nothing all day. I mean, how awesome would it be to eat and sleep all day long and have no responsibilities for a bit.

2. Being easily entertained

Kitties may be lazy, but they are easily entertained by the little things in life. Toy mice, yarn, real mice, and laser pointers are a few of the countless things that cats can find joy in at their paws. We are similar to this in many ways like the common TV show binge, video game addiction, and getting lost in social media for long periods of time.

3. Constant reaffirmation and affection

If you haven't noticed, cats either love or really really loathe being touched. If you come in contact with a cat that loves affection, do not take it for granted. Soak in the moment. If a kitty lets you in their bubble, take full advantage. We are similar to this in some ways. Us humans like affection when we want it, and in the case of cats they have claws to tell you to back off. Also, if you ever have the privilege of kitty kisses, they are very rare and cherished.

4. We can be a bit moody sometimes

Although we may love affection, like cats, we also like our personal space. Cats have a nice way of telling you to back off. They simply whip out their claws and scratch you until it hurts. I don't think they mean to be hurtful, they just like their bubble to remain intact and if it's popped, they will let you know. We can also be this way. We enjoy our personal space and if it is invaded, we won't scratch you with our claws, but a moody person may come out.

5. We love our food

If you have noticed, cats love food. Wet food, dry food, people food, and sometimes even prey they have hunted and returned to your door as a token of their love. Whichever way they get it, they love their food. Also like us, we love to eat different types of food. Fast food, expensive food, cold food, hot food, and food that we also like to hunt (aka deer, turkey, and fish). We share this trait and it is the best in my opinion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

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.
