Social life is more important than academics.

Yes, you heard it right!

Social life and academics carry their own importance. But I would like to prioritize social because social life is important to have a strong social interpersonal relationship with the world, whereas academics will only be important to self and nothing in terms of the world. All humans need education for a better and safe future. That does not mean that social life is not important but equally important. Both need to be managed equally. Well, the difference is, academics take you far in life and it determines your success and quality in your future life.

It is important to know that, the personality of each individual takes form from family, education, and social life. For example, a child learns as he grows, firstly he learns from his mother, then he tends to learn from his family, and then as he grows and is put in school, even before learning things from education and academics, he tends to learn things from other children. He tends to learn their habits. He learns what life is, from his friends. He faces different phases of life with different experiences that he comes across. He fails and gets up and still strives to achieve the set goals in life. All these experiences are not taught in any educational system or any school or college. All these are learned by social life alone.

A person explores new things, his innovative thinking starts from looking at others, his ideas come from looking at different things around him, wherein he is actually not learning these things from the educational system. Of course, education is very important for ideas to be put into practice and for reorganization and quality of life. But it is more important to know that even teachers in schools and colleges want children to think out of the box.

Social life is very important as we human beings are social beings and we can’t certainly live in isolation. It is very important to stay connected to good people in your life and do what your passion is. It is very important for networking because as you grow sometimes you will need people to help and guide you when you feel stuck. At the same time, studies are something that will create a foundation for your professional life, and the better skills you have the better financial opportunities will follow.

So, both are equally important, however, there will be circumstances when you will need to sacrifice your social life example — during exams or some other temporary phase of life.
