#rublogs http://uvebnpind.blogspot.com fellows our lives are at risks we should act wise for our future.


Coming to University is a big step for everyone, and as a result everyone is so exited and passionate to do and finish up their degrees. There’s always been competition, more especially among friends and some students can’t stand the competition and are forced to do stupid things to make the best out of themselves, like trying to use drugs in order to maintain concentration on their academics.
This article serves as a warning to all students to be aware of the decisions they make regarding what they take to improve their learning abilities. This is something that always happens when students are facing exam pressures. Professors, Lecturers need to talk to the students and make them aware of the risk they are putting their lives and suggest things that might be helpful.
The head-line: not very strong and not everyone might be interested in. I can say it is aimed at students, parents and Lecturers. There’s an over-wording in the head line; Pupils and students (synonyms). The story could’ve been much more interesting if the reporter had also included the students in the article; students who have personal experiences of these drugs. Now that the exams are around the corner we should be wise and do what’s best for our health and academics, because we wouldn’t like ending up in bad conditions.
