The university campus in September was in turmoil because of the arrival of a group of teenagers. Those freshmen who have experienced the cruel college entrance examination, escorted by a younger son, came to this place called University with infinite longing and curious eyes. The best four years of their youth will stay here, and they will take away wisdom, memory, growth, friendship and perhaps love. ...
After crossing the most crowded single-plank bridge in China-College Entrance Examination, the freshmen in these universities are full of high spirits and confidence. It seems that the whole world is in your own hands, but whether you can conquer the world depends on whether you can forge a sword for yourself after four years. Everything is just the beginning.
Children in China are happy because parents and teachers are extremely responsible and carefully arrange their lives and studies; Children in China are also unfortunate. Under the control of parents and teachers for more than ten years, perhaps many children have long been accustomed to obedience, forgotten to think independently, and forgot how to make decisions. Just like a line in the movie The Shawshank Redemption: "At first you hate it, then you get used to it, and finally you can't live without it."
When these children step into the campus, everything is different. If your parents are not around, you will have three meals a day, and no one will help you arrange it properly. When there is no class, the teacher can no longer stare at the self-study in the classroom, and learning becomes a conscious thing; Several students share the excitement of the dormitory instead of having a room at home to do whatever they want ... The university is a brand-new world, and all the topics are new, but without the guidance of parents and high school teachers, the "freedom" that is shouted every day comes, but for most freshmen who have never left home to live independently, this freedom may be a test.
From what to eat for lunch every day to how to plan your future career direction, you need your own independent thinking and judgment. Even if you are naive, even if you make mistakes, it is also the pain of growing up. Before the university, the university is the only clear goal; In college, how to spend the precious four years of college life has become a proposition for every freshman. This issue of "The Spirit of New Oriental" seems to provide a college life plan for freshmen: "When entering the university, it is mentioned to cultivate self-care ability, and Mr. Lu Xun once said:" Life comes first ". When freshmen enter the university, they must first learn to live, then learn to study, learn to be a man and learn to do things. As Yu said in his speech "A few things to be done in universities", college life can become more meaningful only if college students pursue three things and prepare for one thing, that is, pursue knowledge, friendship and love and make full preparations for work. Doing these four things well, four years is very short. I hope that all freshmen have a clear understanding of this, determine their own direction of efforts as soon as possible, and work hard for their own masters.
When I was a child, I always felt that four years was a long time and my youth was very long. Books can be read tomorrow, words can be recited tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow, which wastes college time. Confusion is only a waste of youth, and a clear purpose can lead a regretless youth. 18 years old, responsible for himself.
