It's exactly what you would think.

Living With A Cat

When it comes to living with a stubborn drama queen, life never has a dull moment. This is for all of the cat people out there who know and experience this type of lifestyle. Having a cat (or multiple) can leave someone feeling a whirlwind of emotions. These emotions can include: happiness, confusion, suspicion, fear, anger, defeat, forgiveness, and eventually love, all within the time-span of about five minutes. Regardless of how they make you feel, the cats don't care. You are inferior, while they reign supreme. Here are just a few of the all-too-real struggles.

The cat must always follow you to the bathroom.

Whether the cat wants to drink from the sink or just wants to be loved while you do your business, there is no escaping the constant attention your cat needs and demands. To them, there is no alone time. You're just going to have to get used to using the bathroom with someone is watching you.

The cat refuses to let you use your laptop.


Once the cat has made its way onto your laptop, there is no stopping it. No matter what you do, no matter where you go, the cat will find you and sit on your keyboard. I wrote several essays with the help of my cat sitting on my keyboard, adding extra letters and words. Even now as I am writing this, there is a cat trying to sit on my laptop. It is inevitable.

The cat must wake you up at 3 a.m. every single night.

It never goes without fail that your cat must wake you up every night. Most of the time, it is for no better reason then to simply be loved. You've been asleep for too long, and that is displeasing to the royal highness. You can try shutting them out of your room, but good luck with the constant meowing and scratching.

The cat will be into anything and everything you bring into your home.

Along with never having any alone time, get used to never having anything to call your own. It is your cat's personal duty to investigate and tear up every single object in the house. Curiosity killed the cat, you know. You just need to accept that your cat views your furniture, plants and priceless belongings as a jungle gym that they must defeat every day.

The cat will eat your food, then throw it up all over the house (and yes, you will step in it).

Your cat will trick you into feeding it human food, only to give it back to you on your white carpet. Don't worry about them feeling bad, because as soon as you walk around barefoot, you'll step in a fresh pile. This was probably a present to you to say sorry for the last one; how thoughtful. Despite the previous points, cats are actually great pets. I couldn't imagine my life without my two furry babies. At the end of the day, I'm always thankful for them and I know deep, down inside they love me as well. My cats are always concerned when I'm sick and they always greet me at the door. Overall, they are the best cuddle buddies (when they feel like it).

Living with a cat is definitely the best and most interesting part of my day.

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.
