But remember to work in a way that suits you. Its important to learn from past mistakes as well. Keep a notebook to make a record of the mistakes you makeitll help you avoid making the same ones later.The time of life may be hard，but youre not alone. You may be busy studying，but you can show your care by calling your friends or sending short messages. Dont let your friendships die.Its as important to live well as it is to study well.
