Text B What Should College Students Do?

Every college student is eager to gain a productive and impressive college experience. Then try to follow the tips so as to enjoy your college life deeply.

1. Answer the question, “Why am I going to college?”

Many college students really don’t have a clear reason for being there. They take goals from their families and peers, which aren’t truly their own. So, being a well-qualified college student, you should know why you go to college so that you can know what you should learn and experience there.

2. Imagine your ideal college experience.

Once you know why you’re going to college, imagine your ideal outcome. Let it flow outward from the reason you’re there. Whether you’ve already started college or not, stop and simply write down some features of your ideal experiences and describe them in as greater detail as you can, which can give you more clarity for making decisions right now.

3. Take at least one extra class each semester.

You should not have a dense schedule for the first two years and a bare schedule for the rest. You should make an appropriate schedule for your learning. Don’t feel you have to go at a snail’s pace just because everyone else does. If you’re an above-average student, you can certainly handle an above average schedule.

4. Set clear goals for each class.

Having clear goals will help you decide which is which, so decide what you want from each specific class. Sometimes you’ll achieve your goals; sometimes even if you do your best, you may still fall behind. Then, you’ll have to pick your battles. Some are worth fighting while others should be ignored.

5. Get an early start each day.

Getting an early start each day can help you get a lot more done, not just in the morning but throughout the day. Try to begin each day with a 25-minute running followed by a shower and breakfast. This simple morning routine can help to get you out of the door, feeling alert and energetic.

6. Reclaim wasted time during your classes.

Some classes require your utmost concentration. If a class is really challenging, sit in the front and soak up every word. Otherwise, just sit in the back, do homework for other classes, and pop your head up every once in a while to see if there’s anything worth jotting down.

7. Learn the material the very first time it’s presented.

The most time wasted at college is having to relearn something you haven’t learned properly the first time. If you don’t understand something you were taught in class today, do not put it off for tomorrow, but drop everything and do whatever it takes to learn it before you carry on.

8. Master advanced memory techniques.

One of the keys to learning the material the first time it’s taught is to train yourself in advanced memory techniques. If a teacher writes something on the board that has to be memorized, you should memorize it then and there so as not to go back and study it later.

9. Have some serious fun!

Challenge yourself academically, but give yourself plenty of time for fun as well. Don’t waste your leisure time hanging around doing nothing. Go out and do something active that will blow off steam and increase your energy.

I’m Li Ming, born in 1996 in Hangzhou, the capital city of Zhejiang province. I graduated from the Second High School of Hangzhou last year and now I am a freshman in the College of Communication.

I’m an optimistic boy. Whenever faced with challenges and difficulties, I’m self-confident and brave enough to keep trying. In most cases, I’ve succeeded, which encourages me to go on. I’m easy-going as well. I like to make friends and always try my best to help those in need. So, I’m very popular with anyone who knows me.

I like reading very much. When I am free, I’ll go to the library, where I can read a lot about English literature and search a lot on the Internet for any information that I need.

My favorite hobby is traveling, which has broadened my horizons and enriched my knowledge. Anyone who likes traveling can call me and we can go and enjoy wonderful sightseeing together.

I can be reached by cell phone (132********) or email (*****@zju.edu.cn). Please feel free to contact me if you like to.
