As midterms quickly approach it seems that all of us are locked in a library or in our rooms with only our favorite pillow to comfort us. We check Facebook every five seconds subconsciously. We sometimes even cry if it gets really late at night and we’re sleep deprived. Let’s face it: midterms suck, and they suck even more knowing that at the end of the semester, you have to do it all over again with finals. Luckily, though, I am here to help. Hopefully, instead of checking the void of Facebook for no current updates, you can constantly refer back to this glorious article. Just for you, I have created a compilation of the 50 best animal gifs/images (not in any particular order) to get you through midterms, the day, finals, or anything:
1. This bear was overwhelmed with his ball of hay.
2. Damn. He got game.
3. These two bunnies are named Westley and Buttercup. That’s all I’ll say. <3
4. Here, we see a bunny sleeping inside a bunny bed.
5. A very chubby husky that does not need to lose any pounds getting ready for the olympics.
6. Walrus human love.
7. Turtles not only walk slowly, but they eat slowly, too. He’s really trying there.
8. Me too.
9. This is my bunny, River. She loves her apples.
10. This is also my bunny, River. She thinks she’s a queen (because she is obviously).

It brightened my day writing this, and I can only hope as much joy goes to you as it has brought me! Animals are comforting in any time of stress, so go pet the next dog you see (if it isn’t ravenous, that is) and try your best to enjoy your days!
