(单词翻译:单击)

Don't overpack when you go to college and pack for the climate that you are in.
当你去学校的时候不要带太多的东西,只带适合你所处氛围的东西。
Remember that ironing can become tiring and is not the most exciting college activity. Dry cleaning bills do add up also. Consider packing clothes that wrinkle less and clothes that don't need dry cleaning.
请记住在大学活动中,熨烫衣服是一件很累,而且并不那么有劲的事情。干洗的费用也不那么便宜。你得考虑带一些不容易起皱、不需要干洗的衣服。
Meet as many fellow students as you can during orientation. It's a great time to meet everyone. Sometimes the people you meet during orientation become your best friends.
在新生教育的时候尽可能多地认识你的同学。这是个认识新伙伴的绝佳机会。有时候你在新生教育中认识的人会成为你最好的朋友。
Get well acquainted with your campus and explore the campus, the buildings, and its history. Go into buildings that you would otherwise not go into.
好好地认识你的校园,并且探索这一校园中的建筑和它们的历史。你要去那些你平时不会去的建筑里走一圈。
Walk around campus before your classes begin and get familiar with where you are going and what times your classes are.
在课程开始之前绕校园走一圈,熟悉一下每节课在哪里上、在什么时候上。
Have a schedule that you can handle and vary your courses. Don't enroll in more than three reading intensive courses.
排出一张你可以应付自如的课表并据此调整你的课程安排。不要在一个学期选三门以上阅读量很大的课程。
Find out who the best professors are from your friends and take their classes. The professor can make the course better than the actual subject if they are really good.
从朋友那儿了解一下哪些是最好的老师,并且选他们的课。如果他们真的是很好的老师,那他们能把课上的比学科本身更吸引人。
Try to fulfill your core requirements and get them out of the way early on in college.
努力去完成你的核心课程要求,并且在大学生涯中尽早的去完成这些课程。
Seek advice from older students and of course your advisor. They are experienced with many of the things you will go through and they can help. Don't wait for them to come to you, go to them.
向学长和你的辅导员寻求建议。对于很多你将要面对的事情,他们比你有经验的多。不要等着他们来找你,你要自己主动去找他们。
Don't decide on your major right away. Take some time to think about it and then decide what interests you most. Remember that majors are not geared for careers or entering the "real working world." If majors were geared only to prepare you for a job and career, then many companies wouldn't have training programs.
不要马上决定自己的专业。花点时间好好考虑一下,选择你最感兴趣的学科作为专业。你要记住,专业并不与你的职业生涯或者进入"真实的工作世界"挂钩。如果专业仅仅是为了给你的工作和职业做准备,那么许多公司就不会有培训项目了。
When registering for classes try not to schedule classes that are back to back. If you do, you won't have time to study right before or after class and it also can wear you out.
在选课的时候尽量避免"背靠背"的课程,这种课程会让你在课前或者课后没有时间学习,也会让你筋疲力尽。
Try not to drop classes too early. Go to few of the classes and then decide if you should drop it. -Don't give up on a class if it seems too difficult. You could do well in a difficult class that you find to be challenging with help from a tutor or a peer.
不要过早地去退课。试着去上几节课再决定你是否应该退掉这门课。—不要因为它看上去很难就放弃。在老师和同学的帮助下,你可以在一些很具挑战性的课上学得很好。
