How to Study Smart

Why do some students study very hard, spending most of their time doing their revision but they aren’t the best in their study group? And why are there some students who only spend a fraction of the time studying but they often get good or even outstanding results?

Friends with no benefit


When I was in my secondary school, friends were so important to me that I couldn’t live without them. They were my purpose of going to school. I spent most of my time with my friends and at that time, we did not need to be worried about our future. We always hang out together to look for food and drinks rather than being busy completing homework and preparing for examinations. Everyone has experienced their teenage rebellion, so have I.

But it all changed after I have entered into my college life. Now, I am solely focusing on my personal growth and development, and spending the least time on entertainment. My friends are my role models and they are my source of motivation, who encourage me to work harder. They always share their thoughts and ideas to me whenever I face difficulties in my studies. Their selflessness is what impressed me the most. We learn, improve and strive towards success together. Having a group of friends who can be your role models will make learning more efficient, effective and more fun!
