If you are a college student, probably you are greatly stressed when the final exams are coming. University students are good at coming up with ways to cope with the stress of college life. But some students at a college in Canada have started a new trend that is family-friendly, opening a puppy room for students during finals week (December 4-6)

The National Post reports that for three days during finals week, students at Dalousie University c an spend some time with lovely dogs, which is being brought in by Therapeutic Paws of Canada. “It is something that people need right now because students are superstressed,” Michael Kean, an environmental science student who first proposed the idea, told me the Post.

After the student union first advertised the event on its Face book page, the news of the Puppy Room spread quickly across social networking sites. “Our expectations are pretty high right now,” Gavin Jardine, vice president of student life at Dalhousie told the Post. “We had 1800 shares, thousands of ‘likes’. It attracted a lot of attention on Twitter as well. It spread as quickly as a virus.”

Don LeBlance of Therapeutc Paws of Canada said all the dogs attending the event come from loving homes and enjoy the company of people. A number of different breeds will be on hand to interact with students who sign up to visit the Puppy Room. And buzz from the Dalhousie Puppy Room has spread so quickly that LeBlance says a half dozen universities have already called about staging similar events for their students.

So, is there any actual evidence to support using guest dogs to reduce the stress of busy college students? “If you do any research at all about the benefits of using pets, you will fi nd out quite quickly that it lowers blood pressure,” LeBlanc said. “It certainly made a huge difference in my life when I got a dog.”

Many of us mistakenly believe that it's wrong to think we have any good qualities. We may spend a lot of time blaming ourselves for our negative qualities, thinking that self criticism is the key to improving our performance. However, a constant focus on our supposed shortcomings can stop our efforts to make friends with other people. How can we believe that others could like us if we believe our inner being is flawed（有缺陷）?

If someone seems to dislike you, the reason for that dislike might have little or nothing to do with you. The person who doesn't like you might be fearful, or shallow, or busy or shy. Perhaps you and that person are simply a mismatch for each other at this particular time.

Don't take yourself out of the game by deciding that your flaws are bigger than your good qualities. In fact, some of the very qualities you consider to be flaws may be irresistible to someone else. For all the factors that might cause one person to reject you, there are at least as many factors that will work in your favor with someone else.

You might be thirty pounds over your ideal weight, but you may have a wonderful laugh and a real enthusiasm for life. There are many people who don’t mind your extra poun ds. You may drive a shabby car, but you might be a great dancer and a loyal friend. There are people out there looking for loyalty, or fun, or sweetness, or wisdom, and the package it comes in is not important. If you are worried that you are not beautiful enough to attract friends, keep in mind that not everyone is looking for physical beauty in their friends. You can decide to feel inferior（自卑） because
