In today's world, there is so much negativity floating around the internet because of politics, natural disasters, celebrity gossip, etc. It can be so easy to get caught up in it all. If you're feeling like you need something to take your mind of off the craziness and boost your mood, look no further.

On January 25, 2017, the Smithsonian's National Zoo started what would come to be called the #CuteAnimalTweetOff when it posted an adorable picture of a newborn gray seal pup. This inspired other zoo's across the nation to respond with cute pictures of their own animals. In case you haven't had the time to check out these tweets for yourself, here is the ranking of top six cutest baby animals in the #CuteAnimalTweetOff.

1. Gray Seal Pup (Smithsonian's National Zoo)

The seal pup that started it all has to come in first place. If it weren't for this cutie, the whole world would not have been blessed with this adorable Twitter war. Thank you, baby seal pup.

Tweeted with the caption: We welcomed a gray seal pup Jan. 21. The pup appears to be nursing, moving & bonding well w/ mom.

2. Mother And Baby Otters (Monterey Bay Aquarium)

Otters are all the rage right now. That's why this mother and pup combo take the number two placement. To add to the cuteness, the baby otter is sleeping snuggled up to its mom.

Tweeted with the caption: Can we to yesterday's ? May its memory bring us all the warm fuzzies forever.

3. Baby Cheetah And Lab Puppy (Columbus Zoo)

At number three, we have another animal duo. This time, it is a baby cheetah and a puppy. Cheetahs in captivity are often paired with a dog at a young age to help the cheetah to deal with social anxiety that is caused by the crowd of people at the zoo. The two grow up together and remain good friends into adulthood.

Tweeted with the caption: Paws down, we have the cutest animal duo!

4. Baby Lemur (Maryland Zoo)

The Maryland Zoo answered back to the Twitter war with this picture of a baby Sifaka Lemur. This little lemur called back memories of watching Zoboomafoo as a kid and gets a cuteness bonus for being so tiny.

Tweeted with the caption: Leapin' Lemurs the is going strong. Behold our baby sifaka lemur. He's kind of cute, right?

5. Baby Bobcat (Maryland Zoo)

This is a rescued bobcat that reminds me of a cat that I used to have that would wait around the corner so she could play attack you. Even though his name is Kilgore, he seems too cute to be vicious.

Tweeted with the caption: Um, hi. Kilgore the bobcat here, reporting for duty in the . He's adorable and rescued.

6. Baby Pudú (Queens Zoo)

Last, but certainly not least, is the smallest dear that you will ever see, not only because it is from a deer species that is the smallest in the world, but also because it is a baby. The fact that it's lifting it front foot is just an added cuteness.

Tweeted with the caption: Ahem, the world's smallest deer checking in for the .

Of course, there are many animals that did not make this list that could have. Fortunately, the #CuteAnimalTweetOff is still happening on Twitter. They can be found by searching for the hashtag.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
