A congregation of these spiky critters is called a prickle, and if that is not one of the most adorable things ever I don't know what is. Beware of the prickle, they might be potentially dangerous but who cares when they're this cute!

2. It Takes Seventeen Muscles To Smile And Forty-Three To Frown

Giphy

Give yourself a break and smile today! It's contagious you know!

3. In A Fight Male Puppies Will Intentionally Let Female Puppies Win

Giphy

A new study has found that young male dogs playing with female pups will often let the females win, even if the males have a physical advantage. Puppy love is adorable!

4. Goats Have Accents Like People

Giphy

You will never watch a screaming goat video the same way again. A British study found that goats can develop their own unique accent from their surroundings

5. Laughter Is A Universal Language

Giphy

Even though we may not all speak the same language, humans laugh before they even know how to speak. Our sense of humor is one of the first things we communicate to the world.

6. When Dogs See Their Owner They Secrete The Same Substance Humans Do When They Are In Love

Giphy

We don't deserve the blessing that is dogs. Dogs secrete oxytocin hormone when they see their owners, the same substance that we secrete when we are in love!

7. No Two Dog's Nose Prints Are The Same, Just Like Human Fingerprints

Giphy

Just as humans can be identified by their fingerprints, dogs can be identified by their nose prints.

8. You Just Happen To Exist The Same Time As "The Office"

This show is truly a phenomenal TV series that just so happens to exist at the same time as you. The Office always has your back for a good laugh!

9. As We Get Older We Become Happier

Giphy

If you're feeling down in the dumps now, know it does get better! As you age you will gain what you wish to pursue, which is why older people are generally happier!

10. The Odds For You To Be Alive Right Now Are Astronomically Small, Yet Here You Are

Giphy

Your ancestors survived thousands of years of random events for you to turn out the way you are today. The probability of you existing at all comes out to 1 in 10 2,685,000. You're basically a walking miracle!

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.
