Your life shouldn't become just university

This might be one of the most important lessons.

University is important, but it doesn't have to consume every waking moment.

Keep doing the things you enjoy outside of study.

Go for a walk. See your friends. Read something that isn't on your reading list. Go for a run. Try Pilates. Get coffee. Have a lazy Sunday.

Having things in your week that aren't related to university can actually make it easier to come back to your studies feeling refreshed.
