1. Staying up late
Staying up late is probably a "disease" for every foreign student and even every young person. Many foreign students are "night owls" and don't start studying until late at night. Of course, more international students stay up late just to play games and chat online.
Harm of staying up late:
Sleeping too late for a long time will lead to depression. Moreover, going to bed too late will lead to the disorder of human biological clock. If you want to adjust the normal biological clock, you will easily lose sleep and enter a vicious circle.
junk food is rampant in America!
2. Unreasonable eating habits
Gastropathy is a common disease with the highest incidence among international students. Although there are no specific statistics, almost every student studying abroad suffers from chronic stomach problems to some extent.
Chinese and foreign diets are different
Chinese cuisine is dominated by plants and grains, while the diets of European and American countries are mostly protein and fat. Whether it is American fast food or American Chinese food, the oil intake exceeds the standard. And American Chinese food is heavy in oil and salt, and has a strong taste.
For international students, it is normal to be hungry and overeating.
Eating habits of overeating
In order to finish their studies, many foreign students have no fixed meal time and often have a full meal. On weekends, I will go to a Chinese restaurant with a large group of classmates for a big meal. This kind of typical overeating is the main reason that easily leads to stomach trouble for foreign students.
Skip breakfast
A survey on the eating habits of international students found that as many as 68% of overseas students chose the option of "irregular breakfast". In order to sleep in bed for a while in the morning, most international students choose not to know breakfast, or run to the school classroom while eating toast (or French sticks). This also increases the chance of getting stomach trouble.
It seems that there are not many students who can insist on having a nutritious breakfast before 9 o'clock.
3. Drinking ice water is the most significant eating habit in Europe and America
Drinking ice water is the most significant eating habit in Europe and America. In European and American restaurants, ice water is standard. This is in stark contrast to the habit of standard hot water and hot tea in domestic restaurants.
Many students have just arrived abroad, but they don't realize that their bodies can't adapt to the impact of this "two days of ice and fire", so they will have a stomachache or diarrhea soon, and then they know how fragile their stomachs are.
in all kinds of drinks, the content of sugar, drinking drinks without restraint.
Pepsi-Cola is packed in a large barrel of 2 liters, only 1 dollars. It is equivalent to buying 8 bottles of 251ml RMB in 7 yuan. Cheap!
There are also unlimited drinks in the school.
In Starbucks, drinks are filled in 1111 ml oversized cups.
..... For China people who are used to "spending a little money to do great things" and have no resistance to cost performance, it is simply no resistance. As a result, many international students began to drink without restraint.
3. Obesity
Obesity is a major problem in American society.
The result of irregular diet and unrestrained drinking is that it is easy to lead to obesity. Freshman
15, which American college students often say, means that freshmen will definitely gain 15 pounds after entering school. There is no exception to this rule for overseas students in China.
don't drink too much refreshing drinks
4. drink too much coffee and refreshing drugs
today, in order to stay up late to review, drink a cup of coffee and red bull to refresh yourself. Tomorrow, in order to catch up with DUE, I will have a can of monster to refresh myself ... Indeed, after drinking these drinks, I am not sleepy or tired. They are all refreshed and full of blood. Because these drinks contain caffeine, taurine and other sharp tools to replenish energy and refresh the mind.
However, long-term excessive drinking of the above drinks will force the brain to be in a state of high excitement, causing neurasthenia and even long-term insomnia.
The above bad habits will indirectly affect your studies.
Some netizens' bad habits after studying abroad affect the narrowing of their social circle.
(1) Don't greet people
Originally in China, I don't like to greet people, whether they are close or not. I often wait for the other person to ask questions before I answer a sentence or two. However, if you are good friends, you will always ask about your recent life and simple things. But most of the time, just say "hey!"
after going abroad, I always walk with my head down on the grounds that I don't know the language, so as to avoid all the possibility of eye contact. Or watch your mobile phone, or think about things, or watch the scenery. In short, avoid contact with people. Over time, my eyes will automatically avoid the humanoid creature that appears in front of me. Even if others look at me with their eyes, I will immediately turn my head and pretend not to see it.
but how could you not see it? After turning my head, I feel embarrassed. I shouldn't be so blunt. I want to go back, but I still feel that since it is already deadlocked, I should leave it alone. Over time, I have become a lot more indifferent.
(2) Spend money
In fact, if the price in the United States is measured by RMB, many expenses are really staggering. However, since I came to live in the United States, it is not an exaggeration to follow American standards. However, I always think that there are enough scholarships given by the state and go shopping crazily. Books, clothes, markers, snacks, restaurants, electronic products, the money spent this year is really not a small amount. Think about it, if it is at home, it is simply unforgivable.
In fact, after spending money every time, I will blame myself and tell myself that I must not do this next time. But next time, when your mind is hot, you will still waste money and then blame yourself. This is a vicious circle. Spending money is not fun, and blaming yourself is useless.
The root cause still comes from poor self-control. When I go abroad, no one is in charge, and I am alone. I always feel bored. When I go out, I spend money, and many times it is useless.
(3) Love gossiping
When I go abroad, I always think that everyone around me speaks English, so I judge everyone when I see them. Of course, I use Chinese. To tell the truth, most of the time, people around you really don't understand what they are talking about, whether it's good or bad, it's just a mysterious foreign language to them.
The bad thing is that gossiping has become a habit. Wherever you go, you are talking nonsense and loudly. Sometimes when people from China gather, they still say everything from ear to ear. This thing, really don't know it. Many foreign students also reflect the same problem.
the root of this problem is the nosy little man inside. In fact, when I was at home, I had gossip in my heart, but I just couldn't say it; But when I went abroad, others didn't understand, so I began to speak impudently.
These are not good habits and should be corrected.
