(1) Free learning. Freedom is embodied in two aspects. First, the freedom of learning rhythm. In high school, the teacher took you, and the rules bound you. Gone are the days when a knowledge point was reviewed many times before the college entrance examination. In college, after a class, no one will care if you understand, no one will care if you fail in class, and no one even knows if you study or not. In this case, the subjective initiative of the learning process can be fully exerted, that is, you can follow your own pace, and the decision is up to you. Second, the scope of freedom of study. That is to say, you can choose what you are interested in to study in depth and gradually accumulate into a great god.

② More competitive study. In universities, everyone is selected according to a selection system, except for the differences in regional education level and personal ability. Generally speaking, everyone is basically at the same level, on the same platform and at the same starting line. So, don't be surprised by your friend's IQ, and don't sigh whether you have become stupid. What you encounter is only a more competitive long-distance race.

③ Learning with higher difficulty and wider scope. It is more difficult, that is, the depth of the major requires closer understanding and proficiency, which means that you need to put more energy into understanding and mastering knowledge and need more time to skillfully use it. Broader scope, in short, is to learn everything. It's not just the knowledge in class, the more you learn after class, the more important it is to learn skills such as life, survival and communication. There is no end to learning. Let's cheer together.

2. About community activities

Community activities are places to find like-minded friends and exercise their abilities in all aspects. At the beginning of your freshman year, you will be confused by the recruitment of various clubs, and you will also be nervous by the interview form that looks very tall. At this time, I still hope you can ask yourself, why should I join the club? What do I hope to get in this club? Think about these two questions, and then choose one or two clubs to join, experience and grow according to your actual situation. At the same time, I will give you two small suggestions: First, since you have chosen a club activity, you must stick to it. No matter how annoying and boring you find out the truth about the club in the future, doing your own thing is a kind of responsibility for yourself. Second, some things are self-made. Many people will think that the club is full of water or a waste of time, but they don't know that the complaining person is full of water in the club. Many opportunities are won by myself. If you win them and do it seriously, you will certainly gain something and grow up than those who have done nothing.

3. About interpersonal relationships

Interpersonal relationships in universities are more dynamic and complex. Dynamic performance means that people come and go, people leave, your classmates, your roommates and friends you know in club activities will all become part of your interpersonal network. The expansion of the scope of making friends means that the effective communication time of each small partner is equally reduced. How to make bosom friends in such a short time? With a sincere heart, with fate. The complication is that your friends and interpersonal relationships are often limited by intangible factors such as your own knowledge, ability and family background. As the saying goes, birds of a feather flock together. However, the above are just the factors defined by the outside world. Jumping out of these complicated restrictions, being like-minded and feeling right should be the first element of making friends.

4. About your life

The university is really free, so free that it can't help falling. Slowly, you may be addicted to playing games, watching movies, not eating on time, sleeping for a day ... all these degenerate things have been tried one by one. However, after trying, what you remember deeply is not the remorse and regret after the fall, but the sense of powerlessness and helplessness that was deprived of a sense of control during the fall. I know it's wrong, but I can't and can't change it. I can only let myself fall into the abyss day by day.

Therefore, some suggestions are given to those friends who need an adaptation period when they enter the university in the future: try to keep some old habits while entering the university and adapting to university life. In this way, starting from some controllable little things, slowly get back the lost sense of control. For example, keep reading, keep exercising … ..

Step 5 write down the last words

Last year's article "985,211let people have nothing" was very interesting. You can look at the inner feelings of seniors who have been in college for several years. But as another article in Zhihu, which analyzes the above article (why getting into 985 will make us "have nothing"), it is more important to keep up with the joneses less than to keep in touch with family and friends. I believe I will never face it alone. I wish you all the best when you are about to start your college life.
