Farewell-for forgotten memories

The dormitory has just turned off the lights. The guy in the upper berth is still discussing the technical statistics of Yao Ming today with the lower berth opposite, and the other two guys are still talking endlessly about the equipment in WOW. I knocked on the keyboard and watched these words appear on the screen one by one with the beat of the cursor. I feel a little calm in my heart. At least when my mother called to ask about the recent situation, I didn't have to prevaricate. Instead, tell her that I get up at 7: 30 every day, spend an hour and a half reciting the word 100, and then go to class. Most of the time is spent in the study room when there is no class, and the homework assigned by the lecturer is often finished quickly on the same day, which is redundant. When I am tired of studying, I will look at economics to kill time. ...

I just finished the make-up exam of four courses last semester the day before yesterday.

Like a dream.

White light rolled, and time returned to that boring day a year ago.

Every ignorant teenager who has just entered the university has an infinite yearning for university life. After twelve years of torture and destruction in cramming education, the ivory tower is the last paradise we can look forward to. But we are disappointed. Gorgeous appearance, resplendent and magnificent tower, can't hide the wet stairs and cold room in the tower belly. There is no sunshine here, only a faint candlelight beats.

Get up sleepy every day for class, finish my homework bored, occasionally go to the basketball court and football field to sweat profusely, or go to the Internet cafe to fight with the sequence of 0 and 1. It is not surprising that the head teacher is rare to see. The notification from this department can be delayed for up to one week. The arrangement of the course is ridiculous. The legendary student union that trains people looks more like a child's play. There are many students in each department, but it is rare to see an activity with 10% attention rate. Strict school rules make it extremely difficult to link all activities with business, so that when we go out to find sponsors, it feels more like begging or cheating.

Some people study hard in basic courses, trying to get a high score of 90 points, some people get up early every day to recite words, hoping that TOEFL and GRE will become their Mr. Right, some people work tirelessly for student unions or societies, some people throw a lot of money into Internet cafes, and more people live mechanically. However, no one knows what he should do, what he wants to do, what kind of job he wants to get after graduation and what kind of life he wants to enter. No matter what you study or play.

There is no hope, no future. We are prisoners in the ivory tower.

In March 2005, WOW came.

I still remember a sentence in an official FAQ about WOW that I saw on WOWAR in 2004. "We try to make sure that everyone can have fun in WOW."

They did it.

Compared with the boring university life, the world in Azeroth has great attraction. The success of the Warcraft series has made a bookworm like me obsessed with the history of Azeroth, describing countless legends that have never happened in the third generation of Warcraft in the dormitory night talk. And Blizzard's excellent artists and planners put WOW in front of us-who said those legends never happened?

There is no doubt that I put all my time and enthusiasm into World of Warcraft. This world, which is rendered by epic legends and gorgeous and soft fairy tales, flows around me. Here are my friends, my adventures, my legends and my dreams. The excitement of completing every task, the excitement of every new underground adventure, the challenge of every new BOSS, and the joy of every excellent piece of equipment. ...

This is my world.

So I get up every morning, chewing cookies, standing up with a notebook, ignoring my roommates who get up and wash in class and the brand-new textbooks in my schoolbag; At noon every day, I always leave the computer when there are the least people in the canteen, and go to the canteen to plan the afternoon trip to Warcraft while eating, complaining that the distance between the canteen and the dormitory is too far, and it takes a long 20 minutes for lunch every day; Every night, I go to the supermarket, bring back breakfast the next morning, eat hamburgers breathlessly, and start asking about the evening program of the guild. ...

The exam is coming, and I will regret it. I can pass the exam without playing three days in advance and taking time to review. I just couldn't resist the temptation to review halfway and went to play again. It doesn't matter. I will definitely review three days in advance next time. It doesn't matter.

As soon as my mother calls, I will hesitate and feel guilty. Do I play like this every day without doing my homework or not? What happened to u>? Zan proudly played? Or? What's wrong with ants? Is it engraved? Jiaozi? ∈∈∈∈∈∈∈∈∈∈∈∈∈∈∈∈? Blasting? Skiing jiaozi? What? Is the iridium tip willing to stare blankly? Tip bath?

Then come back to my world and let all the regrets and guilt disappear in excitement and pleasure.

Happy time is always so short, and all the auspicious feathers floating without shadow are floating in the wind with a faint "sou", leaving a vast and distant wind blowing around me. No beginning, no end.

Suddenly I started to get bored.

Then four red light reports were placed in front of me, and eight red numbers came running towards me, and my mother's disappointed and sad face loomed behind me.

So I left.

Now, I get up at 7: 30 every day, spend an hour and a half reciting the word 100, and then go to class. When I have no classes, I spend most of my time in the study room. The homework assigned by the lecturer can often be finished soon on the same day. I use my spare time to teach myself two extra courses. When I am tired of studying, I will look at economics to kill time. Of course, there is exercise. ...

(2) sadness

The first grade is exposed to computer games, the fourth grade has its own computer, the second grade is exposed to the internet, and the junior high school graduates are exposed to online games. This autumn, I will be promoted to junior year.

Above all, I just want to tell you that I am neither a good baby in the traditional sense, nor a floating cloud who has been studying 12 hours every day since primary school.

I'm just a waste destroyed by fourteen years of stupid formal education.

I look back on my life from the perspective of freshmen.

I spent 12 years of my youth on formal education, which was the best time in my life. I poured countless rubbish into my brain and printed countless formulas and problem-solving ideas in my mind again and again like printed circuit boards until a solidified structure was formed in my brain.

I have studied Chinese for twelve years, during which I was filled with the names, thoughts and life schools of countless famous Chinese and foreign writers. I was tired of computer games and lost interest countless times. But I have never been interested in literature. I used to think I was not interested in literature, but when I finally got rid of the evil Chinese class once and for all, several non-mainstream novels began to fascinate me and began to feel sad for the literary works I had read.

It's a pity that time will not come again. I may never have a chance to read all the words that may make me excited, sad, angry and sad.

I have been educated in ideals and beliefs since the first grade of primary school. Twelve years of atheism education completely deprived me of my right to believe in religion. The great proletarian ideal found me a philistine in junior high school and resolutely left me. Primary school education once successfully made me volunteer to be a glorious soldier of the People's Liberation Army of China, but when adults began to seriously examine the possibility of realizing this ideal through action, they told me again and again like brainwashing that only those who unfortunately could not go to college would join the army. I once thought of becoming a great scientist as my ideal, but adults nodded to me again and again with smiles that said "only for children", which made me give up this ideal.

When I finally began to understand the beauty of high school mathematics and physics, I sadly found that they were right. My brain is already a printed waste circuit board, which can only be used as a low-performance computer that is hard to see in the second-hand market.

I'm so bored, I don't have more ideals and beliefs.

I look back on my life from the perspective of freshmen.

I feel deeply sad.

For myself.

For your education.

For all the people who have received the same education as me.

We are just a pile of rubbish destroyed by 12 years of stupid formal education. No ideal, no faith, no future.

If we are thrown into the street and cut off all contact, 50% people will choose between starvation and manual labor.

This is nothing new, is it?

(3) Tiller Rock-to all students of WOW

It is extremely difficult to write down the text of this section. We have experienced so many stupid lectures about ideals and the future that our brains are like bodies that are resistant to the abuse of penicillin by doctors. When we see the words "future" and "reality", we have lost interest in continuing reading. So I implore you, as a friend, as a classmate, as one of you, no matter how boring, disgusting and disgusting you feel, please read this article patiently.

Some of you are easy to fall into when you are in contact with WOW, and some of you work hard, but in the end you fall into WOW's arms. You all have one thing in common. You have no ideals, no beliefs, no specialties and nothing. The most important thing is that you don't know what to do in the future.

I am a sophomore now. I am in a university that everyone has heard of, and I studied the hottest major in the employment market for undergraduates and postgraduates last year. This major may become more popular this year due to an administrative decision of the state. This major is also one of the strengths of the school, and it has produced several academicians.

On the other hand, 90% of my classmates don't know what they should do in the future, or even what their peers can do after graduation. My graduate students send resumes everywhere like headless flies, and the human resources director of the company always puts down his resume with a frown and tells his employees to have a look again. If there is nothing better, then consider this.

An old guy once said, "You should prepare for graduating from school. Start preparing yourself three months before graduation. That's not preparation, it's packaging. It's like putting Erguotou in a bottle of Maotai and spitting it out after drinking it. "

This sentence impressed me deeply.

We are a group of people who were abandoned by 12 years of garbage education. In this 12 year, stupid lies? U> pushes apples? Stupid? What's the matter with you?

Now that we are in college, we don't know how to plan our future.

I know that while you are reading this article, you may still be wondering whether you should save DKP for SSF or concentrate on it first. Think about what happened yesterday when BWL 1 broke up and broke up. However, please put these aside for a minute and imagine where you are and what kind of life you will live in ten years.

I don't believe that some people haven't thought about this problem, and I don't believe that some people don't want to have a bright future but prefer to muddle along and don't know what tomorrow will be like. Don't tell me you think tomorrow's unknown life is interesting Some people will design their own lives and lead a thrilling and unknown life. But no one likes to go with the flow and be played by fate and society.

You don't know, you don't admit it, why do you want to think about something so far away? You tell yourself that things will eventually be solved, because you are afraid, and you dare not admit the result you know in your heart-you can only get a meager salary and worry about losing your job in the depressed economy from time to time. After going home every day, facing the yellow-faced woman you don't appreciate, facing the yellow-faced woman who doesn't appreciate you, in the bank house all day long, thinking about how to repay the loan, at the same time, making a living, and rushing when depressed. You dare not think, dare not face the result.

It took us twelve years to turn ourselves into waste. If we do nothing in these four years, there is only one ending.

A graduate student with excellent grades wrote in the article, "The days of looking for a job are dark. Because Daniel flies in the sky and blocks the sun. " "Now companies like to interview in pairs. If you meet Daniel, it will be terrible. Often the examiner asks you a question first, and you falter for a few minutes, and then Daniel next to him opens his mouth and says,' I have some comments and additions to this classmate's answer ...' "

Which one do you want to be? Flying in the sky or sweating on the side?

The former spent four years in exchange for the future, hope and a decent life. Although his future life may be very busy, he feels full, he can have a position that is respected and envied, and he can find a wife who appreciates himself and himself. The latter may still meet their own opportunities, may still succeed, but the chances are slim.

The most important thing is that when you leave college, you will never find so much time to study what you are interested in, and you will never find such a vast library, which is only 5 minutes away from your residence and completely free. You find that you work eight hours a day and can't go home for two hours at noon, so you can only rest in the office. It takes you three hours to get to and from work, and when you get home for dinner at night, you are too tired to do anything in bed. Even if you want to, you have no place to find the book you need.

This is your last chance to learn knowledge systematically.

Don't say to yourself "I can't do it" or "it's too late". It seems that this is true. Daniel may enter the laboratory in his sophomore year and take part in the national electronic production competition in his junior year to win the championship. In my senior year, I finished my graduation project ahead of schedule, and my master's thesis and project research came up with a solution with high practical value. When he was looking for a job, he made his own PPT, brought this plan to the interview site, and made the examiner nod with an idiot face.

You are familiar with all these, and your teacher will also pay tribute to the deeds of his predecessors in his entrance speech. But you are unfamiliar with these things, because those SB educators always put the winners on the altar and hint at you with countless ambiguous eyes, tones and actions. U> Push Moxibustion and Pull Magic Cow?

They are farting.

Many of you have participated in math and physics competitions in elementary schools, junior high schools and senior high schools, and you know exactly what those stupid things are. A slightly experienced teacher trained for two months in a holiday and then got his certificate back. That's all. As for the laboratory, ignoring undergraduates is a common problem in all universities, and opportunities will not come to you. Find the professional direction you are interested in, talk to your brothers, spend half a semester teaching yourself one or two courses in that direction, make one or two small things by yourself, and then go to the graduate brothers and sisters who are doing projects in related directions in the laboratory, tell them that you are interested in this direction and ask them if they need to do odd jobs.

(By the way, even in engineering, 80% of the professional basic courses can be taught by yourself without public basic courses, that is, when you enter the freshman year, the mathematics knowledge you have not been exposed to will often be told to you separately in the textbook. Even if you really don't have it, you can find the relevant basic course materials yourself, just master a few of them, which is easy to get)

It's that simple.

However, the result is completely different.

This is just one of countless ways to turn yourself into a big cow. You don't have to participate in the national competition of related majors and win prizes, and you don't have to be a sophomore to enter the laboratory. Talk with brothers and sisters for a long time, understand your major, understand your professional industrial projects, find your own areas of interest, and then find the right way to enter. After a year or two, you find that you know more than others.

So he became Daniel.

Don't say "impossible" to yourself. The future is beyond our control, but we can control ourselves. We can't decide tomorrow, but we can improve the probability of a better tomorrow. Everything is unknown until the wave function collapses. No one knows whether the cat in Schrodinger's box is dead or alive, but if you throw the box into the shredder. The cat is dead.

When we were young, adults' ambiguous smiles killed our dreams. Now, do you want your timidity to kill your future?

It is easy and difficult to change yourself. Inertia is very terrible. Play WOW in the first semester, and play WOW from the mid-term exam. I started to make up one month before the end of the semester, which was a close call. In the second semester, I started to play WOW from the first grade, and braked two months before the end of the semester, only to find that even if I didn't play WOW, I couldn't concentrate on my study, so I failed in four courses. (ps。 I am not the worst. Several classes next door can get several admission points. My brothers in Tsinghua failed five or six courses, including seven "grand slams")

So don't say to yourself "tomorrow" or "next week". Starting today, starting now. First of all, restore the normal work and rest system, listen to every class well and finish every homework on time-we have not become an unstoppable train at the beginning of this semester.

Then change yourself and change the future.

Quote:

Your time is limited, don't waste it in other people's lives.

Don't be fooled by creed, blindly following creed is living in other people's lives.

Don't let anyone's point of view drown out your inner voice.

The most important thing is to have the intuition and courage to follow your heart.

Your heart and intuition know what you really want to be.

Everything else is secondary.

Steve. Jobs (President of Apple)

2005 Stanford University Graduation Ceremony

I am a person who left because of boredom. I was one of you two months ago. What I have been thinking about when writing this passage is how to convince myself six months ago. I don't want to pretend to be an experienced person. For obvious reasons, there will inevitably be sermons that annoy you in my words. I just hope that more people who should read this article can read this article.

That's all.

(4) the end

A friend said that nothing is meaningless, whether it is playing or studying. At least not for me at present, but for you? Think about what Steve said above and judge for yourself.

As I have said, I am not a rigid bookworm. On the contrary, I am an exciting person. In the coming May, I will celebrate my 20th birthday and my youth will come to an end. I haven't tried many crazy, stupid and ridiculous things, so I will live. When I get old, I will regret it.

Therefore, before the end of my youth, I will try all the crazy things I have never tried-starting from playing truant and traveling far away to celebrate my 20th birthday.

But in this world, all people are as busy as ants for various reasons, and the most basic reason is to make a living. The pursuit of excitement can only be an extravagant hope.

So I'm working hard now-to win the right to enjoy this luxury.

-

Thanks to the brothers who gave me advice, you put me on my own road. Thanks to my friends in WOW, you gave me happiness in my lost and boring days. Bless you and wish you to be what you want.

Answer some friends.

1, knowledge uselessness theory

I don't know anything about liberal arts and science, but for engineering, the theory of knowledge uselessness is completely nonsense. You can never have too much professional knowledge, especially industrial application knowledge, unless you have decided not to look for a job in your field.

But one thing is true-the most useful thing a teacher will never teach you. I studied electromagnetic field and circuit analysis, but when I was looking for a job, almost all these things were rubbish. Accomplishments in embedded system, single chip microcomputer and digital system design can improve social status, but these teachers can't teach them. Useful knowledge must be learned by yourself, through various channels. In addition, no matter what engineering major, people with experience in laboratory projects will be worth twice as much.

2. "What you learn in college is not knowledge, but methods."

One cannot go from one extreme to the other. They learned both knowledge and methods in college.

Learning methods must be learned, especially the ability of self-study, but self-study is not necessarily a good thing.

The test-taking experience of not attending class for a year has made me develop the habit of self-study so that I can't hear the teacher's rhythm in class, because then I will definitely fall asleep. So I can only teach myself before class, ask questions that the teacher doesn't understand in class, and face the teacher's unfriendly face-I don't understand the main points just now, and I can understand them once or twice. I just don't listen every time I show up I don't think this is a good habit, but I can't help it.

On the other hand, I can finish any course in half a semester, so that I can study my favorite courses in advance, not even my major courses.

Good or bad, no one can tell.

3. "I can't bear to part with my friends in Warcraft, and I don't want to leave."

The center of this article lies in the third part, which can be seen clearly from the number of words. Because of age and experience, there must be a lot of childishness and stupidity in this part. But that is not the point. I just hope that people like me can temporarily jump out of the WOW world and calmly think about what kind of life they really want. Don't dodge the question again.

There are indeed many people who are easy to satisfy. They are not so busy at work, with moderate salaries and well-off families. They play WOW online every day and get happiness from the friendship between the world and WOW. These are enough for them-there is no meaning of belittling, and those who are satisfied are always happy.

But I believe there are many people like me. Before the end of our youth, we still have ambitions and dreams, but we live the kind of life mentioned above, get lost in WOW and consume our youth. Maybe, as my friend said, I'm in no mood to write such an article in senior three. But even so, when I look back on the past and present in senior three, I will definitely regret that my youth was exhausted before I burned-even if I no longer have the burning passion. "I could have done it ... but I didn't."

As for my friends, I don't play WOW anymore, but I still often look at guild forums and play jokes with my old friends on QQ group. Friends are still friends, just like childhood friends are not necessarily lifelong friends.

So, think about what kind of life you want. Find a target and hit the road.
