Freshman
Written for friends who are about to enter their freshman year
The level of an individual does not represent the level of a university, any university, from Tsinghua University and Peking University to famous universities such as Tsinghua University and Peking University, down to the three higher vocational schools or even private universities, even if you can learn one percent of the university, or even one thousandth, or one ten-thousandth, you can still run rampant in the world and be invincible!
Whether a person can succeed or not has nothing to do with the university, the major, the teacher, or the surrounding environment, it is his own mentality and his own efforts that play a decisive role! So, please remember three points:
First, even if you are a student of a prestigious university or a key university, there is nothing remarkable about it, it only means that you are good at exams before college, and the size of the university has nothing to do with you.
Second, even if you are a student of the second university and the third higher vocational school, do not be discouraged, you can still create extraordinary achievements in an ordinary university, you cannot be proud of the school, but the school will be famous because of you in the future! There are poems as proof: Can Qi Jiyan die in the stables? How can a hero lose his mind in a third-rate land? I am not a Qiji, but I am still willing to gallop in the north and south of the great river and dominate the world! I am not a hero, but I still want to swim in the nine heavens and work hard!
Third, whether you like your major or not, whether your major is popular or unpopular, don't care too much, because the professional courses you learn in college are basically not used, and there are very few majors and jobs that match! It needs more about your comprehensive quality and ability to keep learning!
So how can students who have just entered the university win at the starting line and create a good prelude to their wonderful and perfect university?
First, change your mentality
Psychologically, in words and deeds, it is necessary to complete the transformation from high school students to college students. High school students are determined by their academic performance, but universities are not the same, and it cultivates all-round talents with comprehensive quality. Grades are important, but only on one side, and universities only care about students who get high scores in professional courses are one-sided. In high school, the teacher taught by word and deed, and in college, it was all self-study, and it was his obligation for the teacher to attend classes, and whether you listened or not was not within the scope of his discussion, so you must take the initiative to learn. In high school, everyone is bored to study, and there are few opportunities to show their talents, but the university is different, it wants a hundred schools of thought to contend, a hundred flowers to bloom! University is an era of personality display, a place to display charm, a space for the release of passion, and a cradle of talent, so everyone should temper themselves into steel at the university stage!
Second, familiarize yourself with the environment
I suggest that in my freshman year, you should not only study hard, but also "play" in the sky, I once set a record of going out shopping about five times a week in my freshman year, why? One is to be familiar with the geographical environment, and the other is to grasp the business opportunities to pave the way for sponsorship or part-time work for yourself in the future. In addition, we should also try all kinds of things on campus, various teaching buildings, various facilities, various groups of people, etc., in short, from a macro perspective, we should strive to have a general understanding of the university and the city where the university is located, all of which complement each other for the growth and take-off of the sophomore and junior years!
Third, develop good study habits
The personality and habits formed by the freshman year may have an impact on your life, so you must be strict with yourself in your freshman year, and the art of war is cloudy: seek the middle, seek the middle, and seek the next nothing, if you relax yourself in the freshman year, then the people in the third and fourth years are basically scattered. Specifically, first of all, study hard, don't skip class, it's not the time for you to skip class, otherwise you won't be able to pass the sophomore, junior, and senior year, and it is best to get good grades and get a scholarship during the mid-term final exam; secondly, go to the library to read more books, freshman year is the best time for you to go to the library to read miscellaneous books, because in your junior or senior year, you are either busy with graduate school entrance examinations, or busy with graduation, and you don't have the mood and time to expand your knowledge.
Fourth, get involved in "officialdom" with "royal road"
There is nothing remarkable about the student cadres of the university, I have done it as a class leader, as much as the president of the student union, don't look so mysterious, treat and give gifts this is a small style that does not appear on the stage, crooked ways can not help but laugh and be generous! I will tell you that the royal way is the system, the so-called royal road is also the right way, in a word: the position obtained by entertaining guests and gifts has no gold content, if you can become the mainstay of the student union and student clubs, so that it can not be separated from you, you will be successful! How to explain it? To put it bluntly: what you do is very important and indispensable to the student union and student clubs, but only if you can do it better, or one of the few people who can do it well, then the student union will depend on you, so that you can easily enter and become a pillar! Of course, it is easy to say, and the specific operation depends on your own understanding!
5. Work more on weekends and holidays
Freshman students have a rich extracurricular life, and the freshman who usually works in the student union the most, and the largest number of part-time workers is also the freshman. So at this time, as a freshman, don't complain, don't feel that you have suffered a loss, because everyone is like this, if you don't do it, your university will lack a lot of things, so as long as you like it and have time, I suggest you go out more, don't be afraid of failure, you have enough time and opportunity to change the mistakes you make in college, and you won't be able to do it after graduation!
6. Participate in more activities, grasp your interests and find your own strengths
Many activities in the university are the freshman and sophomore students participate in the most, especially the freshman year, accounting for more than half of the number of participants, at this time, the shape of the best student clubs in the recruitment, various activities, competition posters popped up the poster, then what you have to do is to participate as much as possible, don't be afraid of failure! First, you can exercise your social skills, and the other is to find your own interests and hobbies through competitions and activities and make your own specialties longer! In addition, it is best to stand out at the orientation party, such as: out of the show, Participate in organizing games, be a host, etc.,
Same as the above two logs, this advice for freshmen is also aimed at college students in a general sense, college has just begun, don't be in a hurry, as long as you can do a solid job in these points, your sophomore and junior years must be the time for you to take off.
