The importance of student-life balance
(Photo Credit: Pexels ) As a student, generally, life can get pretty stressful. You’re trying to balance a million and one things, and still somehow be remotely alive. It’s draining. Don’t get me wrong, this is not a sob story, and neither would I want anyone to feel sorry for us students. But, could you at least cut us some slack? I would forgive you for thinking that we all binge-drink and are sexually promiscuous because, well, that’s how the media portray us. Whilst those elements can play a part in some people’s university experience, it’s definitely not the norm for everybody. If I take myself as an example, I wouldn’t say I’m the 'typical' student. I don’t get a day off to binge-watch Stranger Things on Netflix, and I certainly don’t have the liver to down multiple jagerbombs on a Wednesday night. But I do have a job, an internship, I’m a student representative, I compete with a successful cheerleading team and I somehow manage to have a social life.
