Willpower

I have hardly mentioned the academic side of the university, which is the most important one. Each student must work out for himself, which will be the method of study best suited to his inclinations. What I can say is this—it is extremely difficult, amidst all the distractions of other agreeable things, to work up the resolution and the determination to keep up consistent hours of study. There seems always to be "plenty of time." Don't be deceived. An iron will power can make all the difference between units failed or gained.

I realise that this article does not reflect the opinion of a great number of this year's freshers. Some of the opinion expressed is dogmatic, blased, and probably exclusive to me. But the general concensus of opinion amongst those who want to give and get everything possible from their years here, is: Have some backbone, get to know as many people as possible, and have the time of your life.
