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.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.
