u know its an asian forum when the 'Academic success' choice is twice as high as the partying choice.
academics first, social life second..i feel you only have a certain amount of chances to get a good degree..we can party anytime, but we won't have the chance to go back and get education once we miss out on it..we'd have to work to support ourselves instead.
def academic success first... especially if you're a college student. you have so much time during the summer and breaks... almost about 6 months altogether. you can party all you want during those 6 months. it's not so hard to just go to class and study a bit to do well in college.
I have a balance of academic and social life. I think it's the least I can do to keep myself sane. Maybe that's why I'm just a 3.85 gpa kind of guy.
I really don't think there needs to be a sacrafice.. growing up is about learning to balance life.. I say you can have your pie and eat it too -rockon
i think you need to strick the perfect balance where u can enjoy somewhat of a social life even if it is with the people that you study with all the time or with people outside of that circle...u need to get out and relax let the stress out...or you'll go nuts as it slowly builds and brews in you for me i found the balance when i meet my study group...we partied after exams but when it came to crunch time we pounded the crap out of the material and helped each other pass....i think u can have a little of both just need to know when you've had too much fun and go back to the important stuff
^ while that is true, academic success doesnt mean a good job, you would pay to go uni just to party all the time?
i was wondering.. if guys chose acdemically.. sayin u have long holidays... wont ur class mates who see u as non social... think ur some nerd... dun wanna hang out with u... so u got no one to go out with in the holidays? lol and u've been studyin too much in the semester ur outa date in the social life?
One doesn't need a uber-busy social life or 24/7 partying to be social. Moreover, classmate and friends are distinct group of people (to me) - I won't be very close to people until they stop being my classmates. In that case, for longer holidays one can spend time with older friends (known for longer time) or people who are out of town.
don't give false information about how grad schools only look at the last 2 yrs. Do you work as an admissions officer. Your overall gpa is important. All your years at college would count. Dental/Med school may emphasize science gpas more, but all your yrs of college will still matter. Don't sacrifice your social life too much. If you are good with time management, you can enjoy both! gl.
Acedemic success= $$$ = Great Social life after school, but of course it will be best to balance ur life like 3.0 with party lolz
It is a tough choice for I believe both ar ejust as important. Sacraficing either one will hurt you in life just as much.
