Optimism-is a hallmark of the student. He was always confident of a good future, he finds a way out of any situation and this is not one. That is what at we lack, adults. About Student’s very well said wonderful century critic DI Pisarev,”Something beckoned me to the university; in the words “student”, “professor”, “audience”, “ Lecture” is kind of inexplicable charm, something free, young and clever it seemed to me in the student’s life,” … the only way it should be carried out student life: greed run amok on lectures, articles, books, monographs, manuals. Student years- very bright, beautiful period of life. Enjoy every moment of it !
