According to Albert Bandura Social Learning Theory (SLT), It is understandable that human being learn with interaction. With this, students are also human, it's therefore necessary for them to also interact with their environment.

School life can be hectic and challenging, it is also undoubtedly one of the most memorable experiences in one's life.

The question is how one can strike the balance between the stressful academics pursuit and social life

Answering the above question let's take a look at how Environment, romantic relationship and organization and clubs plays a role in this: 

ENVIRONMENT

Students who study in a positive learning environment have been shown to be more motivated, engaged,and have a higher overall learning ability.

ROMANTIC RELATIONSHIPS

Having a romantic relationship is really distracting because a student will have to deal with managing time between the school and the relationship and that somehow leads to distraction and it can also lead to a decrease in their performance.

ORGANIZATION AND CLUBS

Though, this has both positive and negative effect on Students academics pursuit. For example, clubs like Press club, Jet club, Red cross, and Young Grammarian Hub will have positive effect on Students, while organization like Secret cult group will have negative effect on Students.

Conclusively, with all of these above mentioned factors we can prove that Social Life is the main Militant Against Students Academics Pursuit.
