With constant assignments, exams, group projects, and extra-curricular activities filling our days \u2013 it can be hard to regroup and take the time you need to recharge. There\u2019s tons of ways to relieve your stress on campus \u2013 sign up for a yoga class, go for a run or walk along the Esplanade, or pick up your favorite instrument or DIY project. I\u2019ve done pretty much all of these, and they\u2019re all equally as helpful in relieving stress, but my new favorite stress reliever is a little bit more, well, fuzzy.<\/p>\n<p>Meet Boston \u2013 an 8-week-old rescue kitten that my 3 roommates and myself adopted in a somewhat spur of the moment impulse. I\u2019m really not even a cat person, but when my roommate showed me this little face, how could I say no? Now I\u2019m so happy that we have him.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"\/comblog\/files\/2013\/09\/boston1.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-1237\" height=\"150\" width=\"150\" title=\"boston1\" src=\"\/comblog\/files\/2013\/09\/boston1-150x150.png\" \/><\/a><a href=\"\/comblog\/files\/2013\/09\/boston2.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignright size-thumbnail wp-image-1238\" height=\"150\" width=\"150\" title=\"boston2\" src=\"\/comblog\/files\/2013\/09\/boston2-150x150.png\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ve gotten in the habit of coming home after a long day of classes, work &amp; meetings to sit down on the floor and play with this little rascal. It only takes a few minutes and I\u2019m instantly relaxed &amp; forgetting about my stressful day.<\/p>\n<p>This little kitten has reminded me how important it is to unwind, laugh, and just appreciate the smaller things in life (Get it? Small? Kitten? Nevermind). Now I don\u2019t recommend going against University policy and sneaking a kitten into your dorm, but you should work on finding a stress reliever that works for you. Something simple. Whatever it ends up being, I can guarantee that you\u2019ll feel refreshed and ready to take on your crazy schedule.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Let\u2019s face it, school is stressful.
