Balance is Key
拥有一个良好的平衡对于拥有健康和娱乐的生活是必不可少的. 生活中最具挑战性的方面之一是在个人承诺(如与朋友和家人在一起)和工作承诺之间取得完美的平衡.
我曾经认为成功需要我每天长时间地做功课，并且在这些时间里不受干扰地努力工作. The issue with that is I would become burnt out faster than I expected. 我被所有的工作弄得筋疲力尽，我再也没有动力去做任何功课了. Becoming burnt out had a negative effect on my mental health, as I was always stressed out and exhausted.
This affected both my social life and my academic life, as my grades were not where they should have been.
我也不再有动力离开家和朋友们出去玩了, 因为我觉得我必须在学业上继续鞭策自己，才能取得好成绩. 这是当我意识到在我的学业和我的社交生活之间有一个适当的平衡是我需要茁壮成长.
When I was constantly working, 我再也没有时间和周围的人建立和维持关系了, and I felt that I was drifting away from my friends. 我很快意识到社交生活和做功课一样重要. In
life, everything is about having a perfect balance, and although it is not always easy to find this balance, 重要的是要不断努力保持平衡，确保你不会花太多时间做一件事，而没有足够的时间做另一件事.
Now that I am not only prioritizing my academic life, I am also finding that I no longer have a feeling of burnout, and I have more motivation when it comes to studying. 这意味着我的成绩提高了，因为我的平均成绩提高了大约5%. But to me, that is not what's important. 对我来说，重要的是我的心理健康得到了很大的改善，因为我不再像以前那样感到不知所措. Most importantly, 总的来说，我觉得我是一个更快乐的人，我希望我的快乐能反映在我的朋友和周围的人身上.
我不是来告诉你不要学习，只和你的朋友出去玩. 我在这里告诉你要在两者之间找到平衡，因为你的心理健康非常重要, 没有适当的心理健康会影响你的学业和社交.
我想引用凯瑟琳·普尔西弗的一句话:“过多地做一件事最终会造成压力:这是生活中没有人需要的东西。. But living a life in balance can provide harmony and peace”
