1. Never study vocabulary in the dorm.
2. Don't think that if your roommate is very nice to you, they must have a crush on you.
It may just be an illusion caused by being single for too long.
3. Sometimes, having 80% battery on your phone provides more security than anything else.
4. You may not see your advisor even once a year.
5. Don't casually share good news with classmates.
Some very important and beneficial things should be obtained by yourself first. If you boast about them too much, it may lead to jealousy from others, or even result in others stealing your ideas, causing negative outcomes.
6. Complete your credits as early as possible, or you will be very tired in your senior year.
Make sure to complete your credits as early as possible, the earlier the better. Don't wait until your senior year to complete them.
If possible, try writing a small paper during college, so that you can focus on preparing for exams in your junior and senior years. You don't have to waste several months preparing for your thesis and defense!
7. Smart people often know that double-tapping the screen can bring them good luck and blessings from koi. And they get more valuable information, quietly becoming stronger.
8. Not all schools start taking the CET-4 in the first year.
You must take the CET-4 and CET-6! The earlier, the better! Try to start taking the CET-4 in your first year, as many college students do not finish taking the CET-6 before graduation, and once you graduate, you can't take it anymore.
However, many companies consider CET-4 and CET-6 certificates as prerequisites for graduation interviews. So you must take them seriously.
9. Don't walk past the girls' dormitory at night, because you will realize how full of dog food it is.
10. If you want to join the party, do it early.
It's really easier to join the party in college than in society, and there are more opportunities. The more organized the party, the greater the chance! The earlier, the better!
However, before joining the party, think carefully about why you want to join. What can you do in the future? What can't you do? I want to say that as a party member, you are glorious and full of a sense of mission.
11. Last-minute cramming a few weeks before the exam is often very effective.
If you are willing, you can even learn to be super skilled; finishing linear algebra in one night is not a problem! My senior once had a semester of fun, which led to cramming for nine courses in the last week of finals without paying attention in class.
As a result, I stayed up late reading books continuously and ended up receiving the semester scholarship. So definitely do not give up the 'golden week' before the final exam.
12. Be proactive about eating! Especially when school ends at noon, make sure to run fast.
A proactive individual must be quick in their actions to stand out!
13. Don't bring so many books during the holidays, and don't make so many plans, because they are really useless.
14. Learn how to coast through classes.
Not paying attention in class is okay, but being able to finish the content learned in class while not paying attention is a real skill. In college, learning to listen smartly in class is definitely a great ability.
I have a good friend who never pays attention in class, and you rarely see him studying, yet he always ranks in the top three in the class.
Later when I graduated, I asked him, and he told me that actually, he appeared to be sleeping in class, but he had already memorized all the key points taught by the teacher!
15. The library is a treasure trove for studying and a holy place for meeting outstanding individuals.
Especially for those who want to participate in team competitions for the Three Creation Model, like-minded partners may be right here!
16. Those seniors who are particularly nice to you right from the start shouldn't be overly relied upon, as they may just be selling something or have other motives.
Some freshmen just arrived and are very warmly welcomed by the seniors. Be careful, they may have already planned this out beforehand.
If you want to avoid being taken advantage of, you can politely refuse by stating you are busy in advance.
17. Even if a friend is very lonely, don't try to play matchmaker.
Sometimes, encountering a bit of trouble makes you recall that it was you who made the connection. If they break up in the end, they might blame you for introducing such a person, which is unnecessary hassle.
18. Try not to bring your phone to bed, or you might find yourself stuck in bed all day. (That’s how my neck pain started back then.)
19. Enhance your 'hard competitiveness' in college.
Do you think those classmates who play games and scroll through Douyin every day will definitely find a job in college?
College time is relatively ample, and good certificates like competitions, the second-level computer exam, CET-4, and CET-6... can greatly enhance your advantages in future graduate school applications and job interviews.
I wrote an extremely informative article about improving in college, and it received over a thousand likes in one day! Students who want to learn can find it at the bottom of the article.
20. Waking up early is fine, but don’t disturb others.
It's best not to set an alarm clock unless you get up as soon as it rings. The deafening noise often makes everyone in the room angry in the morning. Don't be too selfish.
21. Don't be your advisor's 'free labor.'
Some straightforward guys are very proactive in college; whatever the advisor needs to do, they rush in first without considering if they have time or if it’s feasible.
Sometimes, doing those free labor tasks not only goes unappreciated but also wastes your time.
22. If your roommate doesn't come back at night, remember not to ask them the next day.
Because he just wants to wander outside, don’t think too much.
23. Remember to wear headphones when watching videos or scrolling through Douyin, especially after lights out.
I often see complaints on the school wall, complaining that roommates play games and listen to music at night without headphones, which greatly affects other students' sleep.
Some classmates go to bed at night and still have to get up early to study during the day.
24. Even if a friend is very lonely, don't try to play matchmaker.
Sometimes, encountering a bit of trouble makes you recall that it was you who made the connection. If they break up in the end, they might blame you for introducing such a person, which is completely unnecessary hassle!
25. Learn to obtain certificates, but also learn to choose useful ones to pursue.
Some certificates are difficult to obtain and waste time! However, those with high value can greatly help your future. You need to have a plan when doing things, especially before starting a big project, make sure to find the right direction first.
26. The dormitory may not be a paradise, but rather a garbage can full of plastic bags and body odor.
There are many instant noodles, snacks, and randomly tossed smelly socks left in the dorm after eating. Not every dorm is clean! You have to start by keeping yourself clean and tidying up regularly.
Remember, if you want the whole group to do something, you must start with yourself.
27. Learn to integrate into the group, but also adapt to being apart from the group.
For example, if your roommates are all playing games in the dorm, you need to know what your goal is. At this time, you can choose to go to the library or take a walk; you can't waste time playing games with them every day.
28. Don't be too compliant with others; you are not obligated to serve others.
For example, if you spend a day out playing and your roommate asks you where you went, you don't need to report back word for word, after all, your roommate is not your mom.
29. What you need to learn is not delivering takeout or doing physical labor, but 'mastering skills.'
The little money you earn in college is just trivial change exchanged for your youth and time.
The real way to quickly establish yourself in society is still to improve yourself, preferably mastering a special skill. For example,
30. Try more extracurricular activities, entertainment, and hobbies.
For example, learning guitar, dancing, singing, public speaking...
Sometimes, the reason you are still single is not because you are not outstanding or dedicated, but because you have no opportunity to meet and connect with girls!
31. Failing courses in college is not glorious! Having all scores above 60 before graduation is real skill.
Really, do not fail any courses in college! Because you will know how troublesome it is after you graduate.
Some say that not failing courses in college is incomplete. But in reality, if you don't fail courses in college, you are the true strong one. This proves that you have truly achieved in college; you have the strength and wisdom to showcase more brilliance in your future job.
