In my time here at Carleton College, I've picked up many valuable pieces of advice from others, and have come up with a few of my own. With my time here drawing to a close, here' s two of the most valuable ones I wish I had known as a freshman (一年级学生). First, don't expect to join all the clubs here. Taking part in them is good, but the workload here is too heavy and time with your friends is too limited to devote yourself to a million and one clubs. Find a couple of things you dig, and you' 11 find yourself much happier than if you had spent your time joining every single organization that sounds somewhat interesting to you. Also, don't always think of your free time in terms of organizations you can join. Getting really good at something—an instrument(乐器), creative writing, cooking—is just as good a use of your free time, even if it might never be taken into any resume (简历). Second, when Socrates said "Know Yourself", he was talking about your sleep schedule. You can fool yourself into thinking that an 8: 30 a. m. class in the winter is the perfect way to get your day started, but you soon may find yourself emailing the teacher with excuses for being absent. Scheduling all your classes afternoon is sometimes equally deadly; you might just end up going out the night before knowing you can safely sleep in. I've found that the way to take classes is to load them in the middle of the day, nothing before 9: 50 a. m., nothing after 3:10 p. m.
