Analyzing Study Habits

So in the upcoming weeks, the G2nd girls have a ton of homework and tests to study for so that we can all be successful in life. We all learn differently as well, which means that we all study differently. As I have been living on this floor for the past month, I have observed many of these habits, and now I am going to analyze these habits to determine which of us will be the most successful on this Bible Test (which is allegedly impossible...)
Ok so we have three extremes on the spectrum of studying. On the far right we have the radical studier. She spends many hours in her room, studying and doing homework until about 12 am. This studier also spends weekends studying and is almost never seen outside of her room (except for meal times of course...but even sometimes we don't see her when eating).
Next, we have the moderate studier aka the lukewarm studier. She can sometimes be seen in her room studying, but sometimes she goes out and has fun. She has a very balanced social life but is still on top of her school work. So on average, she does about 4 hours of studying a day.
Lastly, we have the slacker. She is rarely seen in her room at all and can always be seen hanging out with friends. Although sometimes she does study, her social life is more important than school. But this is quite normal because college is the first time that freedom is presented to us as students and some take full advantage while others don't use the privilege.
So there are mixes as well (Moderate-radical, slacker-moderate) but most of us fall in the moderate category. And the answer is painfully obvious. The radical students will always exceed what the teacher is asking for in a student. But at the same time, the moderate and sometime the slacker students succeed just the same if not more. I am NOT advocating for no study time at all, but I am saying that in order to live a good, healthy life, a balance is necessary. God didn't make us to study all the time, but He didn't make us to play all the time either. It's important to find the balance between time and study to get the perfect balance between social and school life. Because of the analytical process I went through, I discovered this and wanted to pass the wisdom along.
Moral: Find the perfect balance between school work and a social life.
