| "University is different from high school. There is no longer a need to have a competitive edge. The only person you should compete with is yourself. Always try and better yourself. Trying to have a competitive edge will only bring you stress and that will have a negative impact on your studies. So remember to drop your pursuit of a competitive edge, and most importantly, STUDY SMART." |
