How do college students adapt to college life? After the college entrance examination, freshmen are full of hope to enter colleges and universities. Faced with new teaching and learning methods, new interpersonal atmosphere and living environment, "psychological discomfort" may appear. At the beginning of school, freshmen are often unable to integrate into classes and dormitories or even want to drop out of school because of acclimatization and homesickness, resulting in anxiety, burnout, restlessness, boredom, self-blame and bad behavior symptoms. This phenomenon is called "newborn maladjustment syndrome". Some researchers also call the adaptation time of freshmen "psychological intermission". This is a normal phenomenon, but if it is not guided and channeled, it will definitely affect students' study and life, and even lead to psychological problems in serious cases. From passive learning to active learning, freshmen's learning adaptation mainly focuses on three aspects: professional identity, self-orientation and learning methods. Some freshmen may find that after studying for a period of time, they are not interested in their major and can't see the hope of their development. Naturally, I don't agree with my major, and I can't concentrate in class. Many students are "top students" in high school classes, but "green hills are there, and there is no fear of burning firewood". After entering the university, they may lose their position and sense of superiority, and it is difficult to find new support points and sense of accomplishment in their studies. In addition, the change of university learning style also requires freshmen to change their learning style and improve their ability to arrange their own learning. University classrooms are large in capacity, and teachers give abstract lectures, aiming at cultivating students' study habits and ways of thinking. Besides, universities have more spare time and greater freedom, which makes many students feel very tired, helpless and at a loss. Regarding academic issues, schools should improve teaching settings, such as increasing elective courses. Students should also patiently explore their interests in professional fields, combine their own abilities and values, and refer to the Professional Personality Test when necessary to make active and effective academic career planning. In addition, what we need to do and what we can do is to be loyal to our choices and make them more valuable. "Choose what I love and love what I choose", whether you like it or not, you should study hard and actively explore your inner interests. For those students who have lost their dominant position, being able to enter the university campus itself shows a certain ability, so even if the horizontal comparison does not show an advantage, the vertical comparison with themselves will maintain a level of self-confidence. At the same time, learn to ask for help from teachers, classmates and psychological counselors. So as to get support when necessary. According to a survey, 34% students think that emotional communication is the most needed help at present, 4 1% students think that the cultivation of social skills needs more help, and 17% students feel lonely. Most freshmen are homesick. It can be seen that freshmen are faced with the confusion of how to deal with interpersonal relationships. The composition of college students is more complicated than that of high school. Students from different regions, different faiths and different nationalities come together, and it is difficult to establish a profound friendship like brothers and sisters quickly. In addition, in the middle school stage, they generally have their own stable social circle, and they do not pursue integration into the collective as soon as possible when they arrive at the university campus. If students insist on "self-centeredness" blindly, it is inevitable that they will not understand each other. In addition, freshmen are new here, strangers to each other, and have the psychological characteristics of adolescent "atresia". They have a strong sense of self-protection and are cautious in their interactions. They are unwilling to approach others on their own initiative, which inevitably leads to the feeling that "bosom friends are hard to find". Reliable old friends and relatives are not around, and they can only contact by phone or internet, which will naturally lead to depression, loneliness and boredom. The key to establishing good interpersonal relationship is to learn to communicate with others. In communication, we should adhere to the principles of sincerity, tolerance and equality, respect others, safeguard dignity and defend our legitimate rights and interests, and don't fight unnecessarily, but don't be afraid of conflict. In addition, it is also important to master certain communication skills. First, learn to put yourself in others' shoes. People are different, but understandable. We should try to jump out of our own nest and consider the problem from the standpoint of others, so that the communication between the two sides will become smoother and warmer. Second, learn to listen. Being good at listening to others' speeches is respect for others, so it will satisfy each other's self-esteem and win each other's good feelings invisibly. Third, we should actively express it. Psychological research shows that everyone wants to be praised by others and is afraid of being accused by others. Therefore, don't always criticize and accuse others in communication, but sincerely praise and appreciate others. When you have to criticize others, you should also adopt certain "strategies", such as praising first and then criticizing, or tactfully suggesting that the other party pays attention to their mistakes. Life improves self-care ability. Freshmen are facing the challenge of changing living environment. They may have the following problems in their adaptation to life: poor management of daily life. Many students have never been away from home, and most of their meals and daily lives are arranged by their parents, forming a strong dependence. After entering the university, they have to live in the dormitory, go to the canteen to queue up for dinner, wash their own clothes and buy their own daily necessities ... Some students can't take care of themselves for the time being because they lack the ability to live independently. Some students are not used to the changes of local soil and water, climate, school diet, language environment and schedule because of the differences between north and south. Lack of financial management ability. Some students have no intention of spending money and don't consider their financial capacity. As soon as they entered the university, they were asked to buy expensive items such as computers and mobile phones. At the same time, they don't know "open source" and have no awareness of work-study programs, so they often fall into "economic crisis". Lack of recognition of campus culture and collective life. Before entering the university, many students thought that the university was a picturesque campus, clean classrooms, singing and laughing everywhere, full of poetry and painting. But in reality, it is found that the campus is not so beautiful and dreamy, the teaching building and dormitory building are low and shabby, and the library is short of books. The gap between ideal and reality makes some students feel lost, confused and disappointed. Some students lack the habit of collective life, don't know or care about others, and feel bad in class and dormitory life. Some students find it difficult to integrate into the group and gradually reject the group. For the problems in life, we should first make good use of resources. For example, knowing where classrooms, libraries, shops and telephone booths are, when canteens and bathhouses open, and even how many doors there are in schools can be clearly understood in a short time. This will be smoother and more time-saving when solving various problems. Ask seniors or fellow villagers directly if necessary. They are more willing to pass on their experiences and lessons to freshmen to help them adapt to campus life as soon as possible and avoid detours as little as possible. Secondly, let go of your hands and feet, boldly try to explore, actively participate in class activities, and selectively participate in community work. In this way, the more contact with teachers and classmates, the more information you have, the more opportunities for exercise, and it is easy to cultivate self-confidence. Finally, learn to live healthily. Freshmen should have enough time to take part in physical exercise and arrange their diet and sleep reasonably. After school, you can read more books and newspapers you like, and regard reading as a pleasure, which can not only relieve your troubles and make you happy, but also increase your knowledge and wisdom, which is very beneficial to the healthy development of body and mind.
