Dear brothers and sisters,

Hello! First of all, welcome to * * * * University and start your wonderful college life.

I am a sophomore in Computer College, and I am your senior. At this time last year, like you, I came to Harbin Institute of Technology with a beautiful vision for the university and came to my dream university hall. My heart is full of dreams and beautiful yearning for the future, but it is also full of confusion. What will college life be like? How should I spend it? Based on my own experience, I would like to share with you what I have seen, known, thought and felt this year.

In fact, freshman year made me understand a lot. To tell the truth, freshman year is a very crucial year, just like "a year's plan lies in spring, and a day's plan lies in the morning". The most crucial year is freshman year, which can decide your college life. I'm sure I can be admitted to Harbin Institute of Technology, and I'm a good classmate in high school. So the first pressure I faced when I first went to college was to face outstanding students from all over the country. I may not be outstanding. Are you nervous? I felt this way when I first went to college. My major is computer, and I know nothing about the programming language I want to learn. However, some students have mastered it since high school. There are also foreign languages, especially speaking and listening. My foundation is poor, and sometimes I can't even understand the class. I felt a lot of pressure at that time. However, along the way, I found that everyone is like this. Only by recognizing one's own shortcomings can we tap the motivation for progress. As long as you have an enterprising heart, you will no longer be afraid of any difficulties. As long as you have confidence in yourself and believe that you are no worse than others, all problems can be solved. My foundation is worse than others, but I will spend twice as much time catching up with others. This is success, which can better experience people's quality! Of course, when you feel stressed, you should learn to adjust yourself and be good at relaxing yourself. In a relaxed and healthy state of mind, you can freely display your intelligence and make the university a paradise for you to display your talents.

In fact, some students' attitude towards universities is: "universities don't have to study, and they can make up for the time they didn't play in primary and secondary schools." In fact, universities should study hard, and don't waste time in universities. From a certain point of view, university study is more critical than junior high school and senior high school study. But in college, there won't be a class teacher to discipline you strictly. Every student has the right to develop freely. Besides attending classes, you have a lot of spare time, which is completely at your disposal. This period of time is the key to decide whether your college life is deserted or not. So we should control the time after class, and don't spend all the time playing games on the Internet. First of all, we should do a good job in learning as a prerequisite for developing other aspects.

As for the learning method, it may vary from person to person. I feel that the study in university is very different from that in high school, so entering university generally requires an adaptation stage. In college, teachers only play a guiding role. They don't talk about a knowledge point many times in class like high school. Most of the knowledge is learned by myself after class. Listen carefully in class and learn to take notes. Taking notes has many advantages. On the one hand, it can make you concentrate on listening carefully. On the other hand, it can prevent you from dozing off. After class, you should carefully review what the teacher said in class, preferably on the same day, so that you will be more impressed. Don't wait for the exam to discover that you can't do anything. It is always bad to make a surprise attack before the exam, and you can't really learn knowledge. In addition, warn brothers and sisters that English is very important. Now you are facing CET-4 and CET-6, but even if you pass the exam, you can't abandon English. If you want to go abroad, you must pass the English level. Even if you don't want to go abroad, at home, if your English is better than others, that's your advantage. In today's society, English ability is very important. I hope that my schoolmates will not ignore it. Besides, there are many useful books in the library. In addition to learning the knowledge in class, everyone can borrow some books after class when they have time, which is conducive to broadening their horizons. After studying, we can participate in some club activities, exercise our organizational and interpersonal skills, and enrich our college life. Besides, you can also take part in some voluntary activities and social practice activities. In fact, there are many things that universities can do. If you prioritize and make rational use of them, you will live a full and meaningful life every day.

When I first left my hometown, my classmates must be homesick, right? No more mother's exhortation and father's inculcation. When I first arrived at school, my classmates were not very familiar with each other, and my homesickness came to me. At this time, you can talk to your classmates more or call home. We should integrate into the big family of class as soon as possible. A class is a home and students come from all corners of the country. Meeting is fate, so we should cherish this fate. Communicating with people is also a kind of learning. You should know the truth of being a man and doing things-"It is a blessing to suffer." It's not a bad thing to get along with others and suffer. On the contrary, you may gain more. Learn to admit your mistakes and forgive others' mistakes, so that you can really make friends.

You will never regret coming to Harbin Institute of Technology. The students here are the hardest working and the teachers here are the most approachable. Maybe you didn't feel it when you first started school. The enthusiasm and strong learning atmosphere of Harbin Institute of Technology students will make you involuntarily immersed in it. Learn to communicate with teachers after class, make good use of answering time and listen to famous teachers selectively, which is very beneficial to your college life. In college, you must make a plan for yourself, set a goal, have an ideal, and move forward step by step towards the goal.

Here, please remember that the main theme of the university is learning. Only by mastering knowledge can you qualify for success. At the same time, we should also strengthen our hands-on ability and attach great importance to the practical operation of specialized courses. The knowledge in books can only play its significance if it is used in practice. At the same time, we should also realize that universities are half a society. In college, we should prepare for entering the society, increase our interpersonal skills and expand our contacts. Finally, I hope all students can make good use of this precious time in college to enrich themselves and exercise themselves, so as to lay a solid foundation for their future success.
