social life / school balance


It's really difficult to manage both school and social relations. School work is piling up so high I can't even see anything at all. I am so tempted then to just ignore all of my friends ditch all of them in the name of studies.

But is it worth anything?

Life isn't just about academics. It's so much more than that. It's about the smiles you see on people's faces, the laughter bubbling in your chest; the distillation of time experienced in that one single moment that makes your eyes boggle out of its sockets.

It's so much more than studies and I really got to drill that into me. It's funny cause crusade leader tells me that being in university means that I won't have a social life to speak of, but I refuse that belief and reject even the very notion of it.

I promised myself after my grandmother's death that academics will never be placed before people again. Never. And I'm determined to live up to that promise.

"For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also." Matthew 6:12
