Desperate times call for desperate measures

I need a feline in my life.

Living in the dorms is nice and all, especially since a good chunk of it is covered by scholarship, but still, I can't help but feel trapped and my wallet feels like it's withering away. Ever since the school's announcement last year that now ALL students are required to live on campus, I have been miserable. I dream of the day when I can live in housing that allows cats.

There are a few exceptions to the housing rule, however:
- Students over 23 years olf
- Students with family living near campus
- Students who have dependents
- Students who are married
- Students with physical or phsychological issues not able to be assisted by university housing.

Hence, I am now plotting my way towards cat ownership.

STEP ONE: There is one viable option of living on campus that allows cats and dogs... It's basically the school's ONE option that is similar to apartment living. However, to apply one must go through a separate application and interview process. I'd also need to find a roommate ahead of time in order to apply.

STEP TWO: I could ask my school's doctor to sign a note saying my mental state is unstable without having a furry friend, and therefore I must be allowed to have one as a roommate or be permitted off-campus.

STEP THREE: I could get pregnant or adopt a child from Nigeria.

STEP FOUR: I could ask my significant other to marry me, at least for living purposes.

STEP FIVE: I could drive my car into a building, physically handicapping myself, to the extent that I would not be able to use dormitory stairs.

STEP SIX: I could ask a townie to pretend to be my relative.

This is actually kind of fun! But as I well know, I will be doing no such crazy thing. Let's just start with the simplest method and see how it goes?
