Building a Network Around Learning: The Magic in Co-Studying

Are you stuck alone in the library until late night every day, wishing you could be spending quality time with your friends instead? The constant labour of studying, reading, writing, and revising in university can be really tiring and get repetitive quite fast. Especially during exams, you might find yourself isolated with your laptop and notes from morning till evening, hoping to get through the season as fast as possible so you can be social again. How about bringing the socialising into your study routine? Grinding is great from time to time and, yes, very productive, but isn’t productivity made better when you enjoy the process not just the outcome?
