College students have a craze for pets. They are deemed as superior sources of solace for busy and tiresome college life; seeing your dog rush to you the minute you open the door or your cat stretching its petite arms and legs after a good day’s sleep erases all weariness and stress. While they could release pressure and add color to your college palette, don’t get yourself a pet before you’re responsible enough for one.

Are you in touch with your wild side? Animal lovers can now show support for their favorite inhabitants of Waco’s Cameron Park Zoo, thanks to the zoo’s recently revamped “Adopt an animal” program.
