Studends all around the country are graduating these days but what about the many squirrels who reside on those campuses? Marie Romano, an alum of the University of Texas at Austin (UT), started naming the squirrels she saw at lunch when she was a student at the university and shared their personal stories, cute photos and the names she gave them on a dedicated instagram page. Now she even starts a yearbook. Check out the cutest trailer!

Romano started sharing photos she had taken of the UT squirrels to an Instagram page in early 2018. The account was a hit, and the page now has almost 8,000 followers.

Her favorites include Berry, a mother squirrel who had berry stains on her face when Romano met her, and two squirrels named Sunflower that she wasn’t able to tell apart at first.

Oh lawd she at it again. This is pole-squirrel. She likes to sit on fences. She thinks about the meaning of life and what came first: the nut or the tree.

Thanks to the Instagram’s popularity, and a successful Kickstarter campaign, Romano decided to create a yearbook for the squirrels to celebrate their time on UT’s campus.
