8 Pet Instagram Accounts To Improve Your Mood
@PumpkintheRaccoon

There are only two more weeks of school left, which means life is about to get very very stressful (as if it wasn't already). You'll probably be posted in the library all week writing term papers and studying for finals all week, and you may also find yourself scheduling breaks to go on Instagram. If you're one of those people, these 8 pet accounts are essential for your health and happiness. After watching a few videos of a raccoon, a prairie dog, and a bunch of happy goats living their lives, you'll be in a great mood and ready to get back to work (or spend another hour on Instagram).

1. @PrairieDogPack

Bing and Swarley are chubby little prairie dogs that live in Texas and have over 80,000 followers on Instagram. If you’ve ever wondered what a prairie dog bark sounds like, or what a prairie dog looks like with a little harness and leash on, you can find out by following this account.

2. @AlbertBabyCat

This cat is a tiny little munchkin with incredibly short legs. Watching an Instagram video of this kitty locomoting on its tiny legs can improve your mood significantly. Albert is also known for wearing outfits and doing activities like cooking, bathing, playing sports, and watching Netflix. Seriously, this cat is so relatable.

3. @JuniperFoxx

Everybody has dreams of owning a pet fox, but since foxes are pretty hard to get and very hard to manage, most of us should just settle for following pet foxes on Instagram. Juniper is a beautiful red fox who is famous for diving and digging into the sheets on her bed, which is probably the cutest videos that exists on this planet.

This account is also great because Juniper’s owner is dedicated to informing her audience about how difficult and complex caring for a pet fox can be. She says that a lot of domesticated foxes get abandoned or released into the wild (where they can’t survive) because people buy them and then don’t like how noisy/stinky/aggressive they are. Luckily for us, Instagram exists, so we can get our fill of cute fox pictures without worrying about caring for the actual animal (modernity, amiright?).

4. @this_girl_is_a_squirrel

Jill the squirrel was rescued after being displaced by hurricane Isaac three years ago, a now spends her days cuddling up in blankets, chatting with her owner, perching in high places, and eating various fruits and veggies. If the sound of this squirrel nibbling on a blackberry could be the soundtrack to my life, it honestly would be.

5. @PumpkintheRaccoon

When raccoons aren’t creeping around your backyard and getting into your trash, they’re actually extremely cute and fun. Pumpkin the raccoon has a round little belly that she likes to let hang out while sitting on the couch with her dog friends Toffee and Oreo. Every time this account posts a video of Pumpkin doing something like baking or washing a piece of kibble in a water bowl (which is apparently something that raccoons do), the world gets a little bit brighter.

6. @ReubentheRex

Reuben is a very big, very elegant rabbit who enjoys eating bananas and wearing flower crowns. He’s fancier than your usual pet store bunnies, and he’ll definitely remind you of Peter Rabbit, so follow this account for your daily dose of high-class rodent and nostalgia.


7. @HarlowandSage

These dogs are definitely Insta famous, with 1.2 million followers and a book deal. Harlow, Indiana, and Reese have been known to sleep in an orderly stack, with the two littlest dogs somehow balancing on top of Harlow the Weimaraner.

8. @GoatsofAnarchy

There is nothing more joyful than a little goat bucking and bounding around its yard just for the fun of it. If you’re feeling low energy and need a pick-me-up, these goats are at your service. They’re not raised for their milk or meat, so you can watch them enjoy their innocent little goat lives guilt-free, and be motivated to live life with the zeal that they do. Seriously, these goats are inspirational.

If you follow these 8 accounts, you'll be blessed with mood-lifting pictures and videos of awesome pets every time you go on Instagram. And who doesn't need more pictures of pets in their life?

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.
