17 Reasons Why Otters Will Capture Your Heart

If you know any one thing about me, it's that I am head over heels in love with otters; like, I've honestly cried from watching too many cute otter videos. They're possibly the most adorable creatures ever to grace our planet, and I don't understand why everyone else hasn't jumped on the cute train to Otterville. So if for some unholy reason you aren't convinced that otters are the most perfect creatures to grace this earth, or if you just love otters, here's a list of things to consider.

1. Let’s start where all cute things start, with babies.

Also:

10/10 would snuggle


2. Look at this group of otters chasing after a butterfly and tell me you aren’t in love.

This is only #2; we've got so much more to go. You're welcome.


3. Also get this, a group of otters is called a romp.

If that isn’t the most adorable thing you’ve ever heard, then you've gotta be otter your mind.


4. Take everything we’ve learned from #1 and #3 and you get this image of what I’m assuming is heaven itself.

Look at that romp of baby otters snuggling against that woman. THAT SHOULD BE ME!


5. Otters are great musicians...

That otter is the next Billy Joel; he's just moonlighting as a server until he hits it big.


6. ...And fantastic dancers too

Seriously, they've got some moves.

They can twerk better than most people I know, to be honest.

Werk it.

7. They’re also kind of hardcore.

Giant Otters (seen above) have a bite force of 414.6 newtons. That’s almost on par with a wolf. I wouldn't mess with one if I were you.


8. They loooove playing with rocks.

Like, a lot...

When they aren't being used to bash clams open, they make great toys!


9. They also love to eat and will make great dinner guests.

You know the question people ask: "If you could have dinner with anyone ever, who would it be?" I'd pick otters every time.


10. They’re athletic.

Lebron James, move over.


11. They love snuggles.

Who doesn't tbh?


12. THEY HOLD HANDS SO THEY DON’T FLOAT AWAY FROM EACH OTHER WHILE THEY SLEEP!

Gotta make sure they don't lose their significant otter.


13. They have great parenting skills.

14. They can have fun in any kind of weather.

That otter is basically swimming in the snow and having a blast. I'd have faceplanted and cried because I was cold two minutes after going outside.


15. They love to play!

*Cue Adele* Hello from the Otter Slide!


16. They love adventure!


17. And finally because this video exists. Do yourself a favor and watch it.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
