I'll be doing this probably once a week mainly because I don't have anyone to communicate with, but here it goes...

Life is very, very complex. The reason why I find it complex is because it's hard to balance. Since I'm in university I have to balance my academics, social life, daily and weekly life and other things that I probably don't remember right now. Being only serious about my life and giving a damn in the recent 3 years of my life, I've found that balance is the key to having a good life, reason being is that everyone around me is very busy yet they handle it well, and I've asked these people how they can get top mark, have a social life and all these other good cool things, and a common thing is that they have control over their lives and they maintain a order in their lives.

So I've been trying to balance my life in university with academics, a social life but it's really really difficult and I end up staying up till 2am in the morning just to study and I end up not socializing with people. I'd like to have good grades, friends and a nice happy and good life, but because I've just started taking my life seriously, I don't have the same amount of experience as others and because of this I find is extremely to nearly impossible to achieve my goal.

I envy those that can balance their live and I always question myself how yet I can't? It's something that has been in the back of my mind and I always try and answer it but I can't find one. I've been living my life just studying and staying in my room but I don't want my life to be like this at all. I just wish I could just balance my life and I be content with my life.

I don't know how to type this out in a better way so sorry guys >.<

Clubs, study groups, and office hours.

Life is actually very simple.

Just beat the **** out of it and take control. Burn the lemons, yah?

It easy for some but it isn't for me. I find it's quite difficult... maybe i just need more time. Sigh.

Sounds like you need to study in groups of people more. You do know that the best way to study is to teach it to others, so you gain a concrete understanding of something in your own words, thus helping you memorizing the most you can out of it.
That way, you wouldn't need to keep studying so late at night alone. Mostly chances are, that you'll forget what you remembered at night when you wake up in the morning.

And on the balancing life part, I don't get what you exactly want to do with your life, but keep doing what you enjoy the most, and take a break when you need to. You'll run out of fuel if you keep nailing at it with nothing you enjoy.
See that time is one of the most valuable things we have, and it's good to spend it efficiently to put in what else we may want to do.
