Since this is your first year in college here, I'd like to give you some advice on (1)         your time.  First of all, most of you are full-time students who have to take at least three courses each semester.  You'll have many (2)          during the semester, including readings to be done every day, summary papers and oral reports that may need to be presented in class, and reports that need to be written.  At the end of each semester, you may have finals and term papers due all in the same week. All of this can cause a lot of (3)         , especially if you are not used to this system.

One of the effective ways of getting more work done under stress is to make a 'To Do' list every day.  Keep it handy, and use it as a (4)          to help you as you go through the day.  Here is how you do it: Get a special notebook that you use just for time management.  Use one piece of paper at a time.  Put the heading 'To Do' on the top of the paper for the day, then list those items you need to work on.  As you (5)           an item, cross it off, but keep adding items as they (6)          to you.  You can write down as many items as you wish, but the important thing is to set priorities and work on the items according to their (7)          and their importance.  Do the most urgent or important items first, one at a time, and concentrate on what you are doing.  Finish one item before you go on to the next.  Don't worry about the

大学并不能为你毕业后的人生做好万全准备。四年来你赖以为生的食物、朋友、体系一下子离你而去。你被推到一个新世界,要迎接挑战,学会独立生活。毕业生需要努力克服的困难可不少。找工作、找住处、付各种开支……这些只是他们不得不接受并解决的经济困难中的一小部分。在社交方面,毕业生通常需要建立新的人脉网,结交朋友,认识熟人。这比在学校的时候要难得多,那个时候,你只要在宿舍走廊里走一遭,就能撞见几个朋友。
尽管“后校园时代”必然有种种艰辛,但很多实用的应对方式会使这样的过渡变得简单轻松。你刚刚20出头,正是去冒险、去尝试新鲜事物、去发现激情的时候。不要太过担心没有一个具体的计划,现在正是你多做尝试、发现你真正才能和兴趣的时候。尽管赶快挣钱看上去很重要,但你刚刚20多岁,是探索各种职业道路、规划未来路径的最佳时机。同时,友好待人是结识新朋友的最佳方法。可以关心同事和身边人的生活,建立新的人际关系。
