3.It's finally that time:the start of the college year.For some,this is the first year.For me,it's the last.But I still remember that summer between high school and college when I didn't really know what I was getting myself into.There are plans and ideas about what my college experience was going to be like,but none of them worked out as planned.Here are three things I wish I had known before my freshman year.
(1)Use the mental health services available to you.you aren't alone.
That first night at college was memorable.I was scared and in a new place.There was homesickness that got better as I settled in.and though I continued to miss things from home,these weren't the only reasons I felt down.The academic pressure to succeed and the social pressure to fit in are too much for some people.And these pressures don't just happen in freshman year.
For me,there were upsets long after the days that required a map to figure out where all the buildings were on campus.Close friends guided me in the right direction,which was important because talking helps---even if it's just with a friend.Don't be afraid to take that extra step.
(2)It's OK to change your mind about your major(专业).
I entered the fall of my freshman year ready to major in politics,philosophy and economics,in preparation for a law degree.Things changed.You meet new people and discover new interests.
It's normal to be a little unsure of your plans once you start taking classes.So,don't worry if you haven't figured out exactly what you're going to major in.it will likely change anyway.
(3)You're there to get a degree and later a job,but a little fun won't hurt.
When my college days are long gone,I'm not going to remember the grades I got on papers or the late nights spent studying.
Instead,memorable moments will include playing video games with my roommate at 3:00am instead of writing a paper,or late-night runs with my friends after a night out---things that make for lifelong memories.
Doing well is important inside the classroom,but there are also jobs,internships(实习)and other pressures.Employers weigh internships and employment during college more heavily than your GPA,according to a 2012survey of employers by The Chronicle of Higher Education Finding a balance of killing it in the classroom,getting internships and having fun with friends is important.You don't want to burn out early.
Everyone says that college is the best four years of your life.but it can also be a stressful,messy period of self-exploration and discovery.But is it fun?No question.
