It's finals week, so you're worried about that essay test you've got next Tuesday and you just know that that kid in your group is going to drop the ball on the project in that biology course. It sounded so easy when you read about it on Rate My Professors, but those kids must have been geniuses because you actually have to apply yourself on a regular basis. THE HORROR. So, you've got all of these exams and you're super stressed out and you don't know how to keep yourself sane for the semester's homestretch. ENTER: puppies. Dalhousie University in Hailfax, Canada has introduced a "puppy room" for students during finals week. The kids can take a break from doing lines of addy and cramming for tests to play with puppies from Therapeutic Paws Of Canada, a group that brings cats and dogs to senior homes and schools. Best idea ever? Best idea ever. [Huffington Post]
