For many of us, finals week is upon us. I've spent countless hours in the last few days procrastinating and refusing to do work...watching Buzzfeed videos, scrolling pinterest, and of course, looking at tons of videos of cute four-legged friends. In so doing, I think I've found the best animal GIFs we all need in our lives right now--it's just what the doctor ordered to put a smile on our faces before the chaos of finals.
