because they provide us with knowledge and guide us throughout our course.

different perspectives, particularly during group discussions or collaborative

arrive at campus. Plus, the train is quite comfortable, so it’s a stress-free way
to commute.

a good night’s sleep, so it’s easier for me to concentrate. In the afternoon, I
tend to get a bit tired, which makes studying more difficult.

productive after a good night’s sleep. I can focus better on complex tasks, and

to feel a bit fatigued, so I use that time for lighter tasks, like reviewing notes or
preparing for upcoming classes.
