My name is Sarah. I'd like to tell you a funny case that happened to me.

This story happened a long time ago. I was a student and in my free time

I led an active social life. From September to November,

I had not been paying much attention to my studies, from December to January I had been preparing for the exams, and then I had been resting again from February to May. In summer, it was easier from me to pass the exams. So, after all the exams were passed I went to rock bar, where my favourite local band was performing. I was in the company of my friends,

we were celebrating the passing of all exams the whole evening.

I met young girl, her name was Irene. We had a great time and agreed to meet in a week.

On the 1st of September I came to the university as usual. We had a new subject "applied mathematics". We were waiting for the teacher when

Irene entered the lecture room. It turned out she was our teacher.

We were embarrassed, but we did not tell anyone that we had met before. We didn't want other students to think that Irene could be more loyal to me than to other students because we had become acquainted before.

Irene didn't work at the university after I had graduated.

Healthy habits are about taking care of your own body. A healthy lifestyle has been the leading trend around the world for several decades. During this time, the backbone of the basic principles of a healthy lifestyle has been formed, inherent in any person, regardless of country of residence, nationality, age and gender. Quitting bad habits, physical activity and balanced nutrition are universal recipes for a long and healthy life. The first is physical activity, the second is the correct diet, the third is a healthy body weight, and the fourth is moderate alcohol consumption. Do not forget that with a healthy lifestyle, a person lives on average 6 years longer than a person who does not comply with it.
