First year of college Sometimes the first year of college life will make you feel at a loss, just like exploring the jungle, and you don't know where the road is. 34% freshmen in the United States choose to leave after one year because they can't adapt to college life. The main reasons are: no sense of belonging to school, homesickness, financial difficulties, unsatisfactory academic performance and unhappy social interaction. In fact, most of these problems can be avoided. The author of this book has worked as a student in the university for many years, mainly responsible for the transformation of freshmen and the experience of the first year of university. This book helps freshmen prepare for their first year of college in the form of "looking at pictures and talking", guides freshmen from social, academic and emotional challenges, and points out the resources needed for success. The author of "University, you should study hard" is Liang Qin, an excellent counselor and columnist of Shanghai Jiaotong University. It is the weekly diary of counselors written by her to accompany students' growth and the essence of answering questions for students. In view of the troubles and puzzles encountered by contemporary college students in campus life, this book focuses on three core issues: how to really enter the university, how to spend the university, and how to plan the life after the university. It is edited into five parts: college adaptation, study planning, interpersonal communication, psychological feelings and ideals and beliefs. The book "Talent: How Brain Structure Shapes People's Personality" introduces the objective existence and causes of congenital differences in human brains in easy-to-understand language, hoping to help us correctly understand the influence of "innate" and "acquired" factors on human psychology, and also help us better understand ourselves and treat others. As human beings, we share the same genetic program to guide the construction of human brain, but the existence of genetic variation leads to differences in the details of this program among individuals.
In addition, due to the inevitable random noise, the process of this program guiding each individual's development is unique and unrepeatable. Compared with genetic variation, variation during development is often ignored. However, it is the combination of genetic variation and developmental variation that leads to the congenital difference of our brain structure and affects all aspects of human personality.
