I hate this myth that we need "friends" in life.
I say we don't.
My advice to everyone in here is focus 100% on your studies, don't talk or go out with anyone.
Study all week, including weekends and holidays.
Don't ever go out with anyone , sit home and study.
What is important in life is good grades not "friends".

Take it from someone who has been there: if you study hard and get good grades, you get into a top university. If you get into a top university, you will likely go from top of the class to somewhere around or below average on your course. Academic ability then ceases to distinguish you as 'better' than anyone else, so you need to distinguish yourself in other ways. At university, there will be people who got better grades than you, have more money than you, and still manage to party and go out every weekend. And it will be those people who go on to have a good career, because they passed the necessary 'grade filter' and they made the effort to make friends with the right people who can help them get a good job.

If you don't try to network and make friends, you are restricting yourself just as badly as if you bomb in your A levels, because between 70-90% of people who get a decent career and have success in it got there directly or indirectly by 'who they knew' and not just 'what they knew'. Once you leave university, grades are irrelevant, relationships are everything. To be honest with you, I know that some people have to struggle harder than others to get good grades, but it doesn't improve oneself as a person to study all the time and not do anything else. It doesn't even improve your grades necessarily, there's a good chance you're just making yourself ill, mentally and physically. I've seen many people who half killed themselves to get to a good uni, then burnt out completely and had to retake the year.
