<p>I certainly believe that a balance would be ideal. Unfortunately, it can be quite difficult to achieve that middle point.
For me, I never had much of social life. I’m finally starting to become really extroverted, but I have my hardest high school schedule this year and I have to constantly be working and studying just to get slightly above average scores.
I do at points feel lonely. I’ll see what my friends are up to on Twitter and I’ll regret having to study or sleep instead of going out. What little social life I have has taken a toll on me, but I find ways to cope, usually by just talking with friends or by shoving aside homework with a “**** this attitude!” and making time to hang out.</p>
