Maybe you're in a slump. Maybe it's not your worst week ever, but it sure isn't your best. Maybe homework is piling up or you just need a freaking nap. Or, like me, you'd planned out a long article about how great your friends are but you're too emotionally drained to even try. Whatever has got you down, here are 15 cute animals that made me smile when I kind of just wanted to cry.

1. This happy baby elephant.

I mean, just look at it play. Don't you wish you could be that carefree?

2. These centurion puppers.

Such dedication to the sport of chariot racing. You go, pups!

3. These little pals.

Did you know bunnies flop like this when they're completely comfortable?

4. This red panda.

These little guys are my favorite animals and I love how happy he seems to be playing with a pumpkin in the snow.

5. And this one!

What an accomplishment!

6. Peekaboo kitten.

It doesn't matter how many times I've seen this gif, it never fails to make me smile.

7. This pug puppy who just can't.

I think she's a representation of all of us this semester.

10. And this fox who can't, either.

He really tries, guys. He really does.

11. These snuggle buddies.

Sometimes, you just really need some love. How cute are these two?

12. This mama and her baby.

This may be the cutest thing on my list.

13. This comfy baby sloth.

Sloths may not be your thing, but this little guy is too cute for words.

14. This frog hitching a ride on this turtle's back.

Going on an adventure and they don't know what's in store!

15. This little hedgie.

Look at it's little tongue go and it's little nose twitch. Wow wow wow.

I hope this list could make you crack a smile, even if your week was as stinky as mine.
