Nov. 21 was National Hedgehog Day, but every day should acknowledge these magnificent little creatures. Here are eleven reasons why they're worth celebrating.

1. They come in all shapes and sizes.

The fattest hedgehog in the world is named Regina and has her own Facebook page called The Regina Monologues.

2. They love nature.

I mean, obviously, since they're part of nature. Look at him rock those flowers.

3. A group of hedgehogs is called an 'array.'

Which is a cool fun fact.

4. Their fashion is on point.

I don't think that I could wear a hat that well.

5. They'll never let you spend Valentine's Day alone.

They just want to love you.

6. They are mostly immune to snake venom.

They can beat up vipers like Popeye the sailor man.

7. They understand your constant craving for Italian food.

And they will help you satisfy it.

8. Hedgehogs are also bookworms.

They all have very good taste in literature.

9. They'll keep you company when you run errands.

Just stick them in the kid's seat and they're good to go.

10. There's a hedgehog convention

This includes a judged section (like a dog show) but also acts as a place for hedgehog lovers from all over to unite, swap stories, and meet hedgehog celebrities like Regina (mentioned above).

11. They're always ready for an adventure.

Even though sometimes that just means exploring a sock.

Basically, hedgehogs are majestic and lovable creatures that deserve to be celebrated every day of the year.

College is super hard. Between working, studying, and having a social life, it feels like a struggle to just keep afloat.

I understand. When you feel like your drowning and there's no way to stay afloat I understand that it feels like everyone else is doing just fine. I understand all the frustration, long nights in the library, and that feeling that you want to just throw in the towel. I understand that sometimes it's too hard to get out of bed because your brain is already filled with too much information to remember. I understand because I am also feeling pretty burnt out.

No Matter How Challenging School Gets, You Have To Put Your Health First — A Degree Won't Mean Anything If You're Dead

Some of the best advice I've ever received was from my social studies teacher in sophomore year of high school. He stated, "If you don't know it at midnight, you're not going to know it for the 8 a.m. exam, so get some sleep."

It's such a simple piece of advice, but it holds so much accuracy and it's something that the majority of college students need to hear and listen to. "All-nighters" are a commonality on college campuses in order to cram in studying for an exam that is typically the next day.

Obsessive Thoughts Keep My Brain Stuck On A Loop And Me Stuck On My Couch

Sometimes my brain just starts turning on an idea and it doesn't want to stop.

I don't know if it is related to my anxiety, perfectionism or depression. I don't know why it happens. It's frustrating, it's painful and it stops me from functioning.

This is for the girls who have dealt with an emotionally, mentally, physically or verbally abusive father.

The ones who have grown up with a false lens of what love is and how relationships should be. The ones who have cried themselves to sleep wondering why he hurts you and your family so much. This is for all the girls who fall in love with broken boys that carry baggage bigger than their own, thinking it's their job to heal them because you watched your mother do the same.
