Analysis of Freshmen's Confused Mentality
With the acceleration of the process of higher education and the expansion of the scale of higher education, the problems exposed by college students are increasingly prominent, which are concentrated in their confusion about college life, their confusion about the future and their inadaptability to study and interpersonal communication. This paper will focus on the manifestations and reasons of freshmen's confused mentality, and try to find a feasible way to overcome it. Let's have a look!

When I was a freshman, I was full of beautiful imagination and longing for college life in middle school, but after I really entered the university, I found that there was a huge contrast between reality and ideal. Because most students have no specific plans for college life, they often show inadaptability, disappointment, confusion and confusion when facing the new environment.

First, the performance of confused mentality? (A) decreased enthusiasm for learning

China's exam-oriented education model makes many students mistakenly think that university is the end of their study, so they don't need to spend time on their homework after entering university. But the reality is that many science and engineering courses are stronger than middle school courses in both difficulty and depth, and have strong consistency. If the basic courses (such as advanced mathematics) of freshmen are not learned well, it will be difficult to learn well in future classes, and even lead to students losing their enthusiasm for learning. Due to the sudden increase of college after-school time, many freshmen who are used to being restrained don't know how to control their spare time correctly and start doing nothing or wasting their time in the virtual world of the network. According to statistics, 56.69% of the students think that they "lack the enthusiasm and motivation to learn, and their learning attitude is not correct", and 48.4% of the students use their spare time to surf the Internet, and their learning motivation and enthusiasm are much lower than those in middle school.

(B) poor self-care ability

Most of today's students are only children born after 1980s and 1990s. They are spoiled at home. I have been used to nanny-style family management since I was a child, and I am very dependent and lack the ability to work independently. After entering the university, you have to do everything yourself. Due to the lack of common sense and the ability to take care of themselves, many students make a mess of their college life. Some students can't do dormitory hygiene and arrange their time reasonably. What's more, some parents have to give up their jobs and go to the city where their children live. The general living conditions of college students are irregular life and poor self-discipline, and they don't know how to use a lot of extra time. Many freshmen gradually lose themselves and indulge themselves in this process, which leads to psychological anxiety, self-doubt and confusion about college life.

(3) Interpersonal barriers

In middle school, because most students come from the same area, the environment is simple, everyone has the same language, the same living habits, similar learning goals and familiar topics, so it is easier to have a common language. After entering the university, most students are more or less under psychological pressure in the face of classmates from all over the country, new environment, strange dialects and different living habits. In middle school, some students are the best in their classes, but when they arrive at the university, they find that experts are like clouds, and no matter how hard they try, they are just ordinary people, which is easy to cause frustration. There are also some students from remote mountainous areas who study in big cities. Compared with students from cities, they are easy to feel inferior. If we can't solve the confusion of interpersonal relationship in time, there will be violent incidents such as fighting. For example, the murder case of Ma Jiajue, which caused a sensation in the whole society in 2004, was a violent extreme event in which Ma Jiajue failed to relieve and solve interpersonal pressure in time when facing interpersonal confusion.

Second, what is the cause of the confusion? (A) objective reasons

Compared with the rapid economic development, the education management mode in China is still relatively backward. Although quality education began in primary and secondary schools several years ago, its implementation is far from enough, and most primary and secondary schools are still in the stage of exam-oriented education. Before students were admitted to universities, the education mode of 10 years was almost compulsory management. In this management mode, students don't need to have independent thinking space. The only thing they need to consider is how to improve their grades and cross the single-plank bridge smoothly, as long as they work hard step by step according to the arrangements of teachers and parents. The students' autonomy, independence, self-awareness and social awareness are poor. Compared with middle schools, universities have more courses and deeper learning tasks, but there is not as much guidance and management as high schools, so it is difficult for students to adapt to new roles. After entering the ideal university, students have a lot of free space and spare time. Many students are at a loss when choosing diversification. Some students with poor self-control turned their interest and attention to online games, which accelerated the confusion.

(2) Subjective reasons

From middle school to university, students are in the transitional stage from youth to adulthood, which is the formation period of one's outlook on life, values and world outlook. During this period, students will re-examine themselves and their relationships with parents, teachers, classmates and friends. At this stage, they will go through a process of differentiation, contradiction, unity, transformation and stability of self-consciousness, and the students will gradually change from a "natural person" to a "social person". Students' physiology has gradually matured, but their psychology is still in the middle school stage, and they have not yet come out of their study life in middle school. Faced with the change of curriculum knowledge system and teaching methods, many students are not prepared enough, which leads to taking things lightly, relaxing excessively, failing to learn basic courses well in freshmen and falling into a vicious circle. At the same time, college students bear too many expectations from their parents and society, have a high self-orientation and are under great pressure. On the contrary, they have little social experience and immature hearts, so they can't know themselves objectively and accurately. When encountering setbacks, they often can't adjust their mentality in time, blindly deny themselves, and often feel at a loss and at a loss.

Third, the way to overcome confusion? (A) establish a correct view of learning

The learning revolution once mentioned that the two most important subjects in school education should be "learning how to learn" and "learning how to think". Alf toffler, an American futurist, also said that the illiterate people in the future will no longer be illiterate people, but people who have not learned how to learn. From middle school to university, the learning environment has changed a lot. Schools and teachers should guide students to change passive acceptance into active learning. University teaching is not only to impart knowledge, but also to cultivate students' self-study ability. First of all, high-level teachers in the major are invited to introduce the significance of basic courses to junior students in the whole teaching activities, guide the problems that may be encountered in the learning process, introduce the employment situation and development prospects of this major, and let students have a general understanding of their major. Secondly, we can cultivate students' interest in learning, combine basic courses in lower grades with professional courses in higher grades, and organize interest groups in science and technology. Let junior students make simple scientific and technological items with what they have learned, fully arouse their enthusiasm for learning, and find a suitable learning direction by stimulating students' interest points, thus turning them into learning advantages and enhancing their learning confidence. Finally, cultivate students' good study habits, make a reasonable study plan, master the learning rhythm, improve learning efficiency, and arrange their daily study and life reasonably.

(B) to establish good interpersonal relationships

Aristotle once said that if an individual can live alone, then he is either an animal or a god. As an individual, each individual has a unique thought, background, personality and values, but interpersonal relationship has a great influence on everyone's mood, life and study. The survey results of social psychology show that good interpersonal relationship is one of the important conditions for a person's normal mental development, healthy personality and happy life. After entering the university, many freshmen live independently from home for the first time, live in groups for the first time, and face brand-new interpersonal relationships. If a harmonious, friendly and positive interpersonal relationship can be established at this time, it will have a beneficial impact on the life and study of freshmen. As a teacher, we should strengthen communication with students, keep abreast of the difficulties students encounter in interpersonal communication and give more guidance. Students should be guided to have a sense of respect, care for each other and understand each other. Schools can organize more collective activities, enhance students' sense of cooperation and team spirit, and cultivate students' correct sense of competition. College students are in the flower season and full of yearning for love. It is necessary to guide students to establish a rational concept of love, not to fall in love because of loneliness, but to educate students to concentrate on their studies, so that they can finish their studies with excellent results while harvesting love.

(C) the construction of mental health education

It is the fundamental way to prevent psychological problems to construct a perfect mental health education system for college students and cultivate a sound personality. At present, many colleges and universities have set up psychological counseling courses and counseling rooms. Through mental health education and lectures, we can enrich students' psychological knowledge, enhance students' mental health awareness, correct students' views on psychological counseling and treat students' psychological problems correctly. It is necessary to guide college students to know themselves, develop their potential and learn to consciously safeguard their mental health. When encountering psychological troubles, you can consult a professional psychologist in time to clear up psychological problems and relieve negative emotions. Through psychological counseling, we can cultivate college students to adapt to the environment, learn to deal with study and life, and guide and help them adapt to interpersonal communication and love problems. Pay attention to college students' psychological counseling, provide timely and effective support for confused and difficult students, and help them tide over the difficulties smoothly.
