#SurvivingFirstYear: 3

#SurvivingFirstYear: 3. Seek for balance: University is very different from school. It is a constant battle between socialising and academics. First priority must always be academics. Finish your assignments before going out. Find balance between the two. Heads up, never go out clubbing when you need to be studying, and throw in some exercise too.
