Finding the ‘right’ balance
- When you’re studying hard and you don’t look after yourself by eating unhealthily and not exercising.
- You’ve left your course work to the last minute and now have to deal with multiple deadlines which are all due the same week.
- You hang out with all your new friends who all have different timetables and workloads to you, leaving you with no time to yourself or to study.
- You have to work your part-time job instead of revising for an upcoming exam.
- You meet that ‘someone’ and nothing else matters now.
