Goats Literally Scream All The Time But I Don't Even Care, They Are Still The Greatest Gift To Mankind

@goatsofanarchy

I may be weird, but I think goats (especially the pygmy kind!) are BEYOND cute. Are they stinky? Sure. Eat everything? Yeah. Have a very simple digestive tract that mean things quite literally go in one end and out the other in a very short amount of time? Uh-huh. But I also know a few dogs that are like that- especially when they were puppies- and I can't quite bring myself to stop thinking about how cute they are.

I mean, besides the square irises. Those throw me off. But literally any video of a pygmy goat jumping around in a onesie will cure those heebee-jeebies, like so.

My parents even got me a desk toy - a plastic goat mounted on a log. Press his head (I call him Bryan) and he screams. And it makes my day every. Single. Time.

But then I started wondering. Why does Bryan, and literally every other goat I've ever seen, scream like a maniac for no apparent reason? Are they scared? Are they anxious? Are they mixing up noon and morning and trying to do a midnight scream like we used to do before exam week?

What I found was actually quite simple: the goats scream simply because they want to communicate with their young, communicate with their mothers, or (and my favorite reason) they may be expecting to get fed.

I mean, imagine if I did that. Strolled into the kitchen at home, got right up in my mother's face, and just started screaming bloody murder.

Actually, thinking back on it, there was an entire phase of life where I did sort of that thing. But I didn't know how to walk or talk yet, so in my defense how else was a newborn supposed to communicate that she was actually literally starving omg mom pleaaaaase feed me?

Anyway, goats are cute and scream for all sorts of reasons ranging from hunger to communication to no reason at all and I love them a lot because they remind me of me.

And now here are a few GIFs of screaming goats for you. Enjoy

It's literally just like *bleargh* excuse me I'm dying

I'm imagining this in a series of higher and higher pitched shrieks.

That one's not a screaming goat but it's so radical I had to put it in.

5 Ways To Bring Positivity Into Your Life When All You Want To Do Is Drown In Self-Pity

The first two weeks of classes have come to an end and they have been anything BUT easy. It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

Although this seems like the best solution, it is also the easy way out. Take it from the girl who took basically a whole week off from her life because she just could not handle everything that was being thrown at her. This caused her to feel extremely lonely and even more stressed out for being behind in classes that JUST began.

11 Things We Learned From Brooke Davis

"What's more important? What we become or how we become it?"

St. Thomas Aquinas College

"She was fiercely independent, Brooke Davis. Brilliant, and beautiful, and brave. In two years she had grown more than anyone I had ever known. Brooke Davis is going to change the world someday, and I'm not sure she even knows it." - Lucas Scott, An Unkindness of Ravens

Brooke Davis of the hit show One Tree Hill was the it girl - she had it all, or so we thought. She started out as a stuck-up, shallow, spoiled, head cheerleader who didn't have her life together. She slept around a lot and loved to party - sounds like your typical high school teenager right? Wrong. B. Davis had so much more to offer. Caring, loyal, and outspoken, she has taught us some valuable lessons throughout the 9 seasons that OTH was on the air:

For some of us, coming to college was the first time we ever had to share a room. It was a big change, but a fun one. As you meet more and more people over the course of your college career, it seems to be a pattern that you will at some point have that one friend that doesn't live with you, but acts like they do. We call those people, "Honorary Roommates" and here are 11 signs you have one in your life.
