  Social life is quite important and so is getting good grades. However, understand that neither can be let go of for the other. This will help in moving forward in achieving the balance between the two.

  Use Time Efficiently
  
  Sitting around idle and doing nothing or working below your best will only make things linger on for long. When you have time to study, make full use of it and make sure that you do not waste any time whatsoever to study in a much more efficient manner. This will give you more time for other activities.

  School Time
  
  School time is a significant part of the day. Pay close attention to what is being taught and try to utilise each minute of the class. You can learn a lot during this time and some revision of what was taught during the day will take a lot less time if you were paying attention in class.

  Time Table
  
  Make a time table and follow it in order to balance both studies as well as social activities. Keep it flexible to some extent so that if one takes over a little bit of time from the other, you can still manage with ease.

  Friends
  
  Let your friends know about the time table so that they know when you are available and plan your activities on those lines. This is very important as the support of a friend in this regard is crucial.
