I am a freshman in St-Petersburg State University. I live in a dormitory because it's very expensive to rent a flat or a room.

As for my student life…. Well, I meet a lot of new people in dorm every day but I don't make friends with all of them so I have more time to focus on my studying. My roommates are easygoing nice people and we have the same objective which is learning and self-development. Moreover to be the best we study hard and even compete with each other. I think it's a good motivation.

The success of my studies depends on good time management. Every day I have much work to do: make projects, do research in the library and also shop for food and cook meals. I plan it all beforehand so I have enough time for everything. I also try not to hang out very often.

Everything is ok. The only thing that I need is more privacy. My roommates hear and see everything I do and I don't like it. But I don't want to live all alone because then I start to feel homesick.
