The college is very concerned about our group of "babies" who have been cultivated for nearly three years, especially our future life plans. It just so happened that the seniors in the senior year had basically completed the relevant work of the postgraduate entrance examination and the civil service examination, so the college specially arranged for all the students of the class of 08 to participate in the experience sharing meeting of the seniors.

It's not the first time I've participated in this kind of meeting, because in the student union, I always had to take pictures of various meetings of the college, so I studied with them. I've already experienced it twice since my freshman year, especially the first time, and I'm extremely impressed.

At the beginning, the seniors and seniors who shared successful cases, two of them were successful in the postgraduate entrance examination, and one was admitted to the national civil service. The senior who succeeded in the postgraduate entrance examination happened to be our major in Chinese as a foreign language, and he was admitted to the graduate school of Peking University, so when the teacher introduced him, the audience was boiling, after all, it is a miracle that the Faculty of Liberal Arts of a science and engineering college like ours can produce a graduate student of Peking University. According to the senior, when he participated in the graduate interview, when the teacher in the interview heard that he was learning Chinese as a foreign language, all the teachers raised their heads and cast appreciative glances at him. And when the seniors replied that they were from a polytechnic school, the teachers lowered their heads after saying "oh". The senior's tone and movements were very expressive, and the audience burst into laughter, but I couldn't laugh at all.

Another senior sister who has successfully passed the graduate school entrance examination is very inspirational, she said that since her freshman year, she has set two goals for her four years of college: to go to graduate school and to go to Tibet. In her words, she revealed a trace of dissatisfaction with the current school, so she was determined to be admitted to a better city and school, and she kept repeating to us that "we must be admitted to graduate school" throughout the sharing process, thinking that the postgraduate entrance examination is the only way out for us. However, the senior sister doesn't seem to be from the north, and "postgraduate examination" is always said to be "examination year", although she is impassioned when she speaks, but every time she says "must be admitted to the year", I want to laugh.

The last senior sister who was admitted to the civil service shared with us the various hardships on the road to the national examination, and suggested that students who intend to take the civil service examination should not be afraid of failure.

I used to be just a bystander, but now that I'm in the game, I don't have the mentality of just listening quietly, and I always feel that the academy is wasting our time. And it's basically a routine with the previous sharing sessions, so I didn't listen very carefully at all. However, after all, we are almost in our senior year, and we are starting to think about our future. Whether it is the postgraduate examination, the civil service examination or the application to go abroad, this is the time when we need to prepare.

Da Biao's squad leader had already made the decision to go to graduate school, and Eric applied for a second degree in his spare time, planning to go home to work after graduation. Mr. Liu failed to pass the application to go abroad, so he could only retreat to prepare for the postgraduate entrance examination. Lin Ye has the innate advantage of being bilingual, and it is not difficult for him to find a job, and what he is most concerned about now is his grades, after all, it is related to whether he can get a degree certificate. Lao Zhao was dragged down by his driver's license, and he couldn't think about it so much for a while, so he planned to take the provincial civil service exam.

As for myself, I'm a little confused. During the winter vacation, my dad said that there was an opportunity to study in Australia, but the cost was relatively high, and I didn't think it was very suitable according to my family's financial situation, so I didn't agree. Later, the college had several places to go to Vietnam as a visiting scholar, although the teacher recommended me to give it a try, but unfortunately my grade points did not meet the standard, and my foreign language scores were not very outstanding, so I could not run for election. As for the civil service examination, I have always had a prejudice, and it may be that I have been an "angry youth" for a long time, and I am afraid that I will eventually become a "Liu Shiwu". Therefore, there are only two paths left in front of me: graduate school and finding a job. But, like Lao Zhao, the matter of taking a driver's license has been hanging on me.

But at least we still have some time, and the relevant work is not in such a hurry. Because we belong to the same major, we also go to the next bedroom to hear their plans for the future. As soon as I opened the door, there was another smell of "cumin mutton", and the walls were plastered with World of Warcraft dot cards. There were only five permanent residents in their dormitory, and except for Ah Wei's vacant seat, the others were all running on the continent of AIDS.

Ah Wei is still renting a house with his girlfriend, and it is said that his father will give him 3 million to open a company when he graduates, so he doesn't need to worry about going to graduate school or taking the civil service exam. Ah Feng's desk was already full of books related to the civil service exam, and it seemed that he had made a decision. When the class leader next door heard that we were going to graduate school, he despised us very much, and he felt that he had spent enough time in this major, and what he had learned would not be of much help to his own future. At the time, I thought he was a little naïve, but it was only after experiencing it that I realized that it was all the truth. Huazi didn't have any ideas, just wanted to get his graduation certificate and degree certificate first, and talk about it later. The other two don't seem to have any special ideas, and they probably feel that there is still some time before graduation, so let's fight for the tribe and the alliance first.

The boys couldn't find the answers, so they had to go to the girls to inquire. Sure enough, the girls are not as mature as us. Some of the other students are taking the teaching certificate, some are starting to take the professional English level, and some are actively learning a second foreign language. However, most of them end up leaning towards graduate school.

As for which path to take, I am actually more inclined to go to graduate school, because then I can wear a master's uniform and take graduation photos! But after all, it was an important decision in life, so in the end, I decided to ask my teacher for advice. Originally, we had a homeroom teacher, and she was a graduate student in our school, but unfortunately I only met her once in four years of college. The instructor doesn't know much about our major, but he loves the children majoring in advertising and design, after all, they have a high employment rate. Our tutor's words were assigned to me when I wrote my graduation thesis in my senior year, and it was too late to go to graduate school, so I had to find a professional teacher with a better relationship to explain my heart sutra.

Thinking about it, only Brother Zhou is the most suitable for my temperament, so one day I stopped him after class. Originally, I was going to ask him which way I should go, but when I walked up to him, I asked him about Nanjing Normal University, the school where he graduated from graduate school. Brother Zhou asked me what major I wanted to take, and I only hesitated for 0.5 seconds before saying "ancient literature".

The only ones we can choose from in this major are Linguistics and Applied Linguistics, as well as a Master's degree in Teaching Chinese as a Second Language. Based on my failure in linguistics and low grades in foreign languages, I felt that my major in Chinese as a foreign language might have come to an end, so I thought about stepping over to the Chinese language and literature major next door, hoping to use my brain to study ancient literature.

Brother Zhou continued to ask me what direction I planned to study, and I thought about it. Pellet's article is built on the bones, and the middle is small and clear, as if the literature of the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties period is more attractive to me, presenting the Cifu and Yuefu of the Han Dynasty and the Tang Dynasty poems through the ages...... So I told Brother Zhou what I thought. Brother Zhou seemed very happy, and later I learned that he had been studying in this direction. The more we talked, the more speculative we became, but time didn't allow it, and he needed to go to another class. Before leaving, Brother Zhou gave him the contact information of his mentor and gave me encouragement, hoping that I would become his little junior brother in the future.

I should have started working in this direction right away with a clear goal, but as I said before, there was something that kept hanging on me......
