10 Things You Say To Your Fur-Baby On A Daily Basis

I often find myself awake in the middle of the night, while my fur child is running laps around my bedroom and I just think to myself... "Why?"

10 Things You Say To Your Fur-Baby On A Daily Basis
Elizabeth Clark

So many people nowadays, college-aged or otherwise, own a pet. Obviously, the most popular animals you see are dogs and cats. I own a kitten, her name is Daisy and she is the best.

Seriously, I will fight you if you disagree with me.

Recently, I've found myself repeating some phrases. And I've also seen on social media that other people think the same way and hold pretty much the exact same or slightly altered one-sided conversations with their fur-baby.

Like these:

1. Let. Me. Sleep.

Giphy

Like, it's four in the morning. Let me go back to sleep, I don't want to play with you. You don't need food right now. Stop chewing my hair.

2. Can you not? 

Giphy

You looked me dead in the eye and did the thing I specifically told you not to do. Like... can you not?

3. Are you comfortable like that?

Animals are known to place themselves in very odd positions. Whenever I find Daisy in one of them, the only thing I can ever ask anymore is: "Are you comfortable???"

4. I literally just bought that and you already destroyed it. 

Giphy

How rude.

5. You can't eat this, you won't like it. 

Giphy

Mother knows best.

6. What are you chewing on?

Giphy

Please don't swallow it. Please don't swallow it. Please don't swallow it.

7. Why are you like this?

Giphy

You're actually the dumbest. No other cat/dog/other but you would get themselves into this situation.

8.  *Pats down next to self* Come snuggle.  

Giphy

9. Don't go anywhere, I'm just going to the store. I'll be home soon. 

Giphy

The .gif is me when I get back home and am looking for my fur-baby.

10. Mommy/Daddy loves you. 

Giphy

*Refers to pet as child in any given scenario*

Please tell me I'm not the only one who does this. I need that kind of reassurance in my life.

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

10 Reasons Why Sisters Are The Best

Who could be a better friend than your own sister?

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

If you’re anything like me, you love a good cup of coffee. My coffee always comes from Starbucks; I refuse to drink it from anywhere else. Over the years, it’s become one of my biggest addictions. So, if you are aware that you’re a Starbucks addict as well, or maybe you need to check to see if you’re an addict, here are seven ways to tell.

College involves a whirlwind of emotions, whether it’s from the stress of an assignment (or twenty), or from fighting with your roommate. It can be overwhelming at times and it’s important to take a step a back and calmly think things over. Maybe gain some perspective. The following aren’t foolproof tips and may not apply to you, but I was able to find success with them (hope you do too!)
