As we know, the remarkable feature of college life is that students must be independent. Whether living, studying, making friends or even understanding society and life, they need to rely more on their own knowledge and ability to think, judge, choose and act. First of all, let's know about the new changes in college life, which will help us adapt to college life quickly.
First, the characteristics of changes in university life
The first is the change of living environment. The way of life has changed from relying on parents' arrangements, making it difficult to live independently, to a collective life in which everything has to be handled by oneself; Different living habits, diet, climate, language, work and rest system and sanitary habits will cause maladjustment; The field of life has also been greatly broadened.
The second is the change of learning situation. Compared with middle schools, learning tasks are more content, heavier and wider; The way of learning has changed from relying on teachers to students' own initiative to arrange learning.
The third is the change of interpersonal relationship. It will be difficult to adapt to the changes in interpersonal communication methods and objects; The requirement of interpersonal communication is strong, but due to the lack of communication skills, it is often difficult to establish a friendly and coordinated relationship.
Finally, the change of management system. From the perspective of teaching management, universities implement the credit system, so that students can complete credits ahead of time, graduate ahead of time, and extend their study time. In terms of management methods, universities emphasize students' self-management, self-education, self-service and self-restraint. From the perspective of management system, all functional departments on campus directly participate in the management of students' ideological education, student status, dormitory management and extracurricular activities.
Second, actively adapt to the new environment.
Knowing the characteristics of college life, we should adapt to college life as soon as possible. Therefore, college students should actively adapt to the new environment from the following aspects:
First, improve self-care ability as soon as possible.
After going to college, you should be psychologically prepared to live independently and cultivate self-care ability. Independent living includes washing clothes, buying vegetables, washing dishes, "dressing up" and "managing money" by yourself. Generally, freshmen don't have much financial experience. In your life, you should first consider which expenses are necessary and which are dispensable; You should also know the bearing capacity of your family. Then make your own spending plan and make it practical. At the same time, college students should get rid of past dependence, actively participate in collective life under the guidance of counselors and class teachers, learn to take care of themselves and deal with problems in life, and study independently. Pay attention to learning from excellent senior three students and listen to them introduce their growth experiences.
Second, explore ways to adapt to university study.
Learning is the most important part of university life, and the teaching system and learning methods of universities are obviously different from those of middle schools. However, the inadaptability to university study is prone to emotional fluctuation and self-evaluation deviation. Therefore, whether you can adapt to the new university life as soon as possible will directly affect your four-year study and indirectly affect your future work and life. Freshmen should correctly understand the characteristics of university study, gradually explore learning methods suitable for their own level and foundation, pay attention to the cultivation of self-study ability, learn to manage time, learn to use reference books, and use libraries and other conditions to conduct systematic self-study.
