The following 66 things that college freshmen need to pay attention to are all personal summaries of the blood and tears of seniors. I hope that freshmen will understand them well after entering school and make their four-year college life fulfilling and meaningful.
1. No longer let your parents pack your luggage for you, know what you should bring, know where to put your things, and be a neat and meticulous person.
2. From the first day, complete all registration forms and registration fees yourself.
Because in the future I will have to complete more forms, registrations and fees myself.
3. Forget about college entrance examination scores, the notice of completion of registration is pressed at the bottom of the drawer.
In a new school, excellence needs to be proven again.
4. Organize your wallet and get used to the days when you have all the money card certificates.
5. If you need to apply for a loan for poor students, don’t worry.
Get the certificate in advance, improve yourself through hard study, and then repay the money in an upright manner.
6. Consume moderately, do not blindly compare, and do not worry about temporary financial shortcomings.
7. Make plans for yourself.
Make sure today is different from yesterday, get used to a fulfilling life instead of a hazy life, and try to get up as early as possible.
8. Contact your classmates in advance and have a meal and chat with them before school starts. You will definitely be grateful for this decision in the future.
9. Before taking the first professional class, prepare a good preview.
It may be difficult to enter certain subjects without any foundation.
10. When many people leave, they will sigh that it would be great to come back from the first day.
So all you can do is take advantage of it from day one.
11. Do not trust those who come to the dormitory door during the freshman season and sell magazines, items, and phone cards.
12. If you complain about the noise in the dormitory, go to the library.
Diligent people can change disadvantaged circumstances by themselves.
13. Share the resources you have.
Share snacks, lecture information, food maps, and joys and worries with people who are willing to listen.
14. Organize your bed and table.
Maintain an environment that makes people want to learn rather than just laze around.
15. The reason for calling your loved ones at home should not be just to “ask for money”.
16. Understand everyone.
Everyone's growth trajectory has marks that cannot be easily changed by others. Don't measure everyone by your own standards.
17. Keep valuables and passwords by yourself.
18. Comply with the school’s electricity usage regulations, work and rest times, and access control times.
19. Don’t type loudly on the keyboard when someone is sleeping in the dormitory. If there is a phone on your phone, go to the corridor quickly. If you send text messages in the middle of the night, the phone will be muted.
20. Cherish every opportunity to party, play, and sing karaoke with your roommates.
If possible, take a group photo.
That is a youthful memory that belongs to both of you.
21. Join at least one club and get to know a group of people from different circles.
22. Try to be a manager and organizer, and really try to complete a project and stage in your own hands.
23. Don’t regret those attempts that you tried your best to complete but failed in the end.
The experience of failure may be the most valuable.
24. Endure hardship once, be patient once, and persevere once.
Many things in college clubs are an advance rehearsal of real-life situations that you may encounter in the workplace in the future.
25. Even if you quit the club, keep in touch with this group of friends.
This is a group of passionate, impactful, and like-minded friends.
26. Love your school.
If your school can only be described in negative terms to others, then it is not that the university has abandoned you, but that you have not treated your university well.
27. Respect every teacher.
Even if you think the teacher is clever or the class is too boring, you should not interrupt or disturb the order of the class.
28. Be familiar with office software and basic software skills in your own profession.
Too many interns surprise employers with their poor grasp of office software.
29. Keep memorizing words.
Most people who think that poor English skills can be compensated by excellence in other areas regret it when they go to find a job.
30. Don’t worry about your origin.
You can change the fate of yourself and your parents through your own efforts, even though it is difficult.
31. Don’t fail the exam.
Failing a course or failing to complete the required exams for this major will cause many opportunities to slip away after graduation.
32. If you go to the study room or library, respect the people who come to study.
Couples fighting, chatting with friends, talking loudly, and playing games and entertainment are not appropriate behaviors.
33. Injustice is everywhere.
Try to learn to change.
Anger and curses are the most humble and powerless responses.
34. In college, more often than not, personal ability is evaluated not just by scores, but scores must be at least kept at an average level.
35. If you are really dissatisfied with your major, learn about the policies related to department transfer and cross-department study as soon as possible, and spend more time auditing and self-study. The second choice will be further away than others. Once you choose, you must stick to it.
