My Opinion : I agree some parts in this newspaper article, but I think it's hard to find academic friends,and sometimes we need rest too. If our college life is only study,It will be really stressful and lonely.Lonely and stress make things more worst. If we can't find academic students, we just can make friends who like party.In contrast,we need learn how to balance between study and play. For example, you can make schedule like ; study due to Thursday,and play on Friday and Saturday, and go to the party is really important things, because we can meet a lot of different people,and then they can also helpful to me a lot in study,life etc......

Vocabulary Word : Embrace(v) ; to put your arms around someone and hold them in a friendly or loving way
