I want to do lots of academic things and get good grades, but at the same time, I want to spend a lot of time with my friends and keep a healthy lifestyle. So far I believe I have achieved this goal quite well. I think I get decent grades that can, of course, be improved but they aren’t failing and I spend a lot of time talking and supporting my friends as much as I can with the limited time I have.”
