Dogs are Easy, But Cats are Plain Weird

Things Only Cat Owners Understand
Catherine Hake

Pets are a glorious thing. They're always there when you need someone to lay with you, they're there to put a smile on your face, and they're always the first thing to greet you when you get home. Cats are an interesting pet choice. They're in their own little world and you're just along for the ride. They think the world revolves around them, and honestly I'm that person that will make them believe it because they're just so stinking cute, how could you not. But occasionally my cat will get on my nerves, and I bet other cat owners will feel my pain.

When you're trying to get work done and your cat just lays on your chest and stares at you.

I kid you not, this happened while I was writing this article!

Constantly having scratch marks on random parts of your body.

I swear I'm not prone to accidents, it's just my cat. (Shameless plug to not get your cat declawed because it's bad!!! Thanks)

Waking up in the middle of the night to your cat scratching on its post.

I mean yes I bought it for you for that's exact intention but so you really need to be using it at 3 am????

Waking up to your cat meowing (or my cat who 'mews')

I love you but why are you like this?

When they knock over random stuff in your room.

If you knock over my expensive perfume or make up one more time I'm going to let my dog eat you. (Not really)

They constantly have that "I'm judging you so hard right now" look.

Literally I spoil you so much, stop giving me that look.

Having mixed feelings when they lick you.

It's cute and all but your tongue feels like sandpaper on my skin. Love you though.

Spending a bunch of money on toys for them but they find random things around the house to play with instead.

I did not spend all this money on you for you to be swatting at a piece of paper for an hour!

Feeling like the chosen one when they cuddle with you.

Yes, show me affection.

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?

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.

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.
