I feel guilty about having adopted a single kitten

I don't know what I'm doing by posting here, but I can't stop thinking about it. I'm a 2nd year medical student and I adopted my little guy a little over a month ago. He is such a well behaved sweetheart. Sure he gets the zoomies /very/ often but he is actually not destructive at all and never wakes me up in the middle of the night. My roommates and I absolutely adore him.

I just feel incredibly guilty because I can tell he is bored sometimes. I play with him in little pockets throughout the day as well as active play for 20 minutes 4x a day but he STILL has never tires out. I leash trained him and walking outside used to burn him out a little bit by now the weather is cold and I can't take him out.

I feel so bad that I can't dedicate more time to him, especially because I'll start studying for very long hours next semester. He gets lonely and hides under the bed until he notices I'm taking a break. I am planning to get him a friend eventually but right now my landlady only allows one cat.

Does anyone have any advice on this? I'm getting him a cat tower and some more toys (he already has tons of mice, wands, laser pointers, scratching posts, etc) but I'm so worried he isn't going to be socialized properly if I don't constantly play with him :/
