In today's world, there is so much negativity floating around the internet because of politics, natural disasters, celebrity gossip, etc. It can be so easy to get caught up in it all. If you're feeling like you need something to take your mind of off the craziness and boost your mood, look no further.

On January 25, 2017, the Smithsonian's National Zoo started what would come to be called the #CuteAnimalTweetOff when it posted an adorable picture of a newborn gray seal pup. This inspired other zoo's across the nation to respond with cute pictures of their own animals. In case you haven't had the time to check out these tweets for yourself, here is the ranking of top six cutest baby animals in the #CuteAnimalTweetOff.

1. Gray Seal Pup (Smithsonian's National Zoo)

The seal pup that started it all has to come in first place. If it weren't for this cutie, the whole world would not have been blessed with this adorable Twitter war. Thank you, baby seal pup.

Tweeted with the caption: We welcomed a gray seal pup Jan. 21. The pup appears to be nursing, moving & bonding well w/ mom.

2. Mother And Baby Otters (Monterey Bay Aquarium)

Otters are all the rage right now. That's why this mother and pup combo take the number two placement. To add to the cuteness, the baby otter is sleeping snuggled up to its mom.

Tweeted with the caption: Can we to yesterday's ? May its memory bring us all the warm fuzzies forever.

3. Baby Cheetah And Lab Puppy (Columbus Zoo)

At number three, we have another animal duo. This time, it is a baby cheetah and a puppy. Cheetahs in captivity are often paired with a dog at a young age to help the cheetah to deal with social anxiety that is caused by the crowd of people at the zoo. The two grow up together and remain good friends into adulthood.

Tweeted with the caption: Paws down, we have the cutest animal duo!

4. Baby Lemur (Maryland Zoo)

The Maryland Zoo answered back to the Twitter war with this picture of a baby Sifaka Lemur. This little lemur called back memories of watching Zoboomafoo as a kid and gets a cuteness bonus for being so tiny.

Tweeted with the caption: Leapin' Lemurs the is going strong. Behold our baby sifaka lemur. He's kind of cute, right?

5. Baby Bobcat (Maryland Zoo)

This is a rescued bobcat that reminds me of a cat that I used to have that would wait around the corner so she could play attack you. Even though his name is Kilgore, he seems too cute to be vicious.

Tweeted with the caption: Um, hi. Kilgore the bobcat here, reporting for duty in the . He's adorable and rescued.

6. Baby Pudú (Queens Zoo)

Last, but certainly not least, is the smallest dear that you will ever see, not only because it is from a deer species that is the smallest in the world, but also because it is a baby. The fact that it's lifting it front foot is just an added cuteness.

Tweeted with the caption: Ahem, the world's smallest deer checking in for the .

Of course, there are many animals that did not make this list that could have. Fortunately, the #CuteAnimalTweetOff is still happening on Twitter. They can be found by searching for the hashtag.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
