Studying
My study buddy is Elizabeth. She's who I spend most time studying with.
Why? Because she's in the same classes as I am, and we get on really well together.
We have different strengths that complement each other.
She's very creative and I'm very analytical - so we make a great team!
Working
I suppose that would be my friend Sophia. We are part of a cross-functional team and we have worked together on several projects.
We normally collaborate several times a week on different project tasks.
Why Sophia? Because the work she does is closely related to what I do, so it's natural for us to spend a lot of time working together.
