1. Entering university means entering a new environment, meeting new people. Your past is like a blank sheet of paper to them. This is your best opportunity to reshape your image, correct the flaws from before, and appear with a completely renewed image every time you enter a new environment.
2. "Who am I?" This is an issue of role positioning and identity. If one's understanding of the role of a "university student" is unclear, it can lead to role confusion, turning freshman and sophomore years into extensions of high school (like grades 13 and 14). And if there is a lack of confidence in this identity, "University" might become "a four-year playground," potentially leading to a wasted college life.
3. "What do I come here to do?" and "How should I do it?" These are questions of thematic positioning and attitude. What is the main theme of university? Is it simply studying while ignoring everything else, or is it about personal cultivation and academic pursuit, aiming for truth, goodness, and beauty? Should one aim to be a specialized talent or a versatile one? Should one passively study or actively strive? Different choices will lead to vastly different values in your diploma.
4. "Where am I heading?" This is a question of direction. Choosing to attend university does not end your future options. Should you graduate quickly and work directly, or continue studies by pursuing a postgraduate degree? Will you aim for blue-collar, white-collar, or executive-level careers? Regardless of your choice, the key to changing your fate lies in your own hands, and opportunities always favor those who are prepared.
5. Always remember to call home regularly. Remember: A mother worries when her child is far away.
6. When others inform you of something, say thank you. If they don't, don't blame them because it's your responsibility to figure out such matters on your own.
7. Whether male or female, if you overly emphasize appearance during university, you may not suffer immediately, but eventually, you will. It’s highly likely—almost certain—that this will happen.
8. Never get addicted to online games. Never! Remember, I emphasized this with a strong warning!!
9. Make sure to set aside time each week for physical exercise. Choose activities based on your strengths! For example, I started playing soccer in university, and now in my thirties, I still stick to it.
10. You might occasionally get drunk, and we can accept that, but understand that drinking with true friends helps release sorrows. Otherwise, you'll just become someone else's gossip or laughingstock.
11. In the face of unfairness, don't complain. Your perception of unfairness might be someone else's fairness. Therefore, instead of complaining, strive hard to achieve what you consider fair for yourself.
12. If you rarely visit the library during your four years, you're wasting a great deal of valuable resources. So, go often, browse casually, and you'll definitely gain something.
13. Men, you don’t have to be handsome, but you can be cool as a person, and that’s truly being cool. (This applies equally to women.) Therefore, don’t spend too much time worrying about your clothing style.
14. True love might exist in university, but remember, only might. Often, couples come together out of envy or other reasons. Thus, don't let breakups hurt you deeply. Remember, I said deeply. True love is still worth pursuing.
15. Many things seem trivial when you look back. So, no matter how angry or upset you feel at the moment, tell yourself it’s unnecessary. You’ll find that it really isn’t worth it.
16. Dignity is crucial, but in university, learn to use this space to train yourself. Let your dignity grow stronger so it can withstand challenges. Society loves breaking people's dignity, and except for yourself, no one will protect it for you.
17. If your personality keeps people at a distance, then it’s a failed personality. Success in personality lies in attracting, not repelling.
18. If you help welcome new students in the new semester, remember that you represent the school and should inspire confidence in your juniors. Having gone through your first year, you know how much trust freshmen place in their seniors.
19. You must indeed be strategic, but remember, the only way to succeed in society is through strength. There’s no need to doubt this.
20. Life has many facets; don’t get upset over new things you dislike. It doesn’t matter, like cohabitation among lovers—it’s none of our business.
21. If you respect student council presidents or similar leaders, remind yourself it’s because they’re your seniors, not your superiors. Everyone is just a student, just a student.
22. Start training your calmness in university. This is a skill. People who stay calm and quickly devise solutions during major events are very impressive.
23. The paths to success vary widely. Don’t reject methods you dislike.
24. If you treat staying awake in class as a form of discipline and manage to do it, then you're strong. Remember, even if the teacher is bad, they're still better than students because they're teachers.
25. Never mock your teachers for being ignorant or boring. One day, when you realize how foolish it was to mock them with your sleepiness, you’ll already have faced many harsh realities in society.
26. If someone envies you, you can safely count them out as serious competition. Envious people rarely accomplish great things.
27. You should believe in one saying: ... For more details, click here.
