Now I’m a senior high school student in Grade Two . I feel that school life is a little hard , just as my friends said . However , a hard life doesn’t have to mean a boring one at all .

School life is not just about studying and getting high marks . Getting involved in student clubs can be a unique and unforgettable experience .

Wang Tian enjoys Tuesday afternoons more than any other time of the week . Why ? Well , that’s when Wang and 47 other members of the DIY ( do it yourself ) club learn to make things such as rondo flowers ( 丝网花 ) and cross-stitch(十字绣). Wang also knows how to knit scarves and make clay accessories(小饰件). They even sell their products to raise money for poor students !

When Chen Mo started the High School , there was a drama club and a rock band , but no street dance club . So the girl started one . “Street dancing is dynamic and helps us relax and keep fit ,” Chen said . There are around 30 students in Chen’s club . They practice dance skills on Sundays . Sometimes they go to street dance performances in the city . “We watch , learn and make friends . People in this circle are actually very nice and sweet ,” she said .

There are dozens of clubs for me to choose from , such as basketball club or science club . But I love the translation club best . The 30 club members get together once a week . With the help of a volunteer teacher , I’ve learned the general principles of professional translation . It’s the first step to becoming a good translator . Besides ,after attending this club , my English has improved a lot .

Job stress hits students

As the job-hunting season kicks off, many graduates are suffering from anxiety. Job interview  results are becoming the most common conversation topic in dormitories, Worried about not getting  satisfactory offers, some students have sleep problems, or lose their appetite. Some might even display symptoms of depression.

According to a survey across several universities in Wuhan conducted by Wuhan Yangtze Business University, over 72 percent of student participants were worried about finding a job.Students in the first one or two years were also uneasy about their job prospects, which contributed to spreading anxiety further.

Lang Lei.22, a business major from Renmin University in Beijing, admitted having mood swings when job hunting. The student hoped to get positions with large state-owned enterprises in  his hometown of Yantai, Shandong. But when it turned out that things wouldn't be so easy, Lang became concerned. After some struggling moments, he has now changed to more realistic goals.

Others feel tortured(受折磨)while waiting for interview results. Mo Tong, a senior software  engineering major at South China Normal University, would fall into a nervous state every time after  he attended a job interview.

“For a day or two I couldn't help but keep thinking about how l performed in front of the interviewers, how well I dealt with their questions, and whether they would consider giving me a  chance in the end,"   Mo was unable to focus on other things as his anxiety grew.

Media reports about rising unemployment rates and a difficult job market have touched  students' nerves.

‘‘I’m alarmed by articles saying how bachelor's degree holders are losing ground," said Wang Hongjuan,a sophomore English major from Putian University in Fujian province. "It suggests to me that good jobs are only available to graduate or doctoral students."

As Wang has no plans to further her education, she has to commit herself to all sorts of extracurricular activities to improve her prospects. This throws her into a packed schedule.

Wen Fang, a well-known education psychology expert and consultant in Beijing, advises students not to be misled by depressing surveys and reports about the job market. "Unemployment rates are not linked to an individual's chances of getting a job," he said. "An individual's chances are actually mainly determined by his or her capability."

According to Wen, a moderate degree of anxiety is normal-it can even be helpful. But if it constantly affects a student's normal life, one should pay more attention. "Focus on adapting yourself to the needs of society, and never ever overestimate your goals," Wen added.
