1. Answer thequestion, "Why am I going to college?"

回答問(wèn)題：“我為什么要上大學(xué)？”

Many college students really don't have a clearreason for being there other than the fact that they don't knowwhat else to do yet.  They inherit goals fromfamily and peers which aren't truly their own. What are you thereto learn?  What do you want to experience?

很多大學(xué)生對(duì)于上大學(xué)都沒(méi)有明確的原因，除了一個(gè)事實(shí)——不知道還有其它的事可以做。他們的目標(biāo)不是出于內(nèi)心而是根植于家庭以及同伴。你在這里學(xué)什么？你想要經(jīng)歷體驗(yàn)什么？

2. Imagine yourideal college experience。

想象你的大學(xué)生活

Once you know why you're going to university,imagine your ideal outcome.  Whether you'vealready started university or not, stop and simply write down someattributes of your ideal experience. Describe it in as much detailas you can. Real life will of course turn out differently than youvisualize.  The point of visualization is to giveyou more clarity for making decisions right now。

一旦明確了上大學(xué)的目的，就想象一下完美的結(jié)局。無(wú)論你是否已經(jīng)開(kāi)始了你的大學(xué)生活，停會(huì)兒，把你的一些完美暢想的特點(diǎn)都簡(jiǎn)單地寫(xiě)下來(lái)。盡可能地描述詳細(xì)。真實(shí)的生活當(dāng)然會(huì)不同于你的想象。但想象的關(guān)鍵在于可以幫助你現(xiàn)在更好地做決定。

3. Take at leastone extra class each semester。

每學(xué)期至少要報(bào)一門(mén)選修課

The real benefit to a dense schedule isn't thatyou'll graduate sooner.  The real benefit is thatyou'll enjoy a richer experience.  This sort ofthing sure looks great on a resume。

緊湊的學(xué)習(xí)計(jì)劃的真正好處不是你能很快畢業(yè)。真正的好處是你可以享受一個(gè)更豐富的經(jīng)歷。而且這也會(huì)給你的簡(jiǎn)歷錦上添花。

4. Set clear goalsfor each class。

每個(gè)課程都確立目標(biāo)

Decide what you want out of each specific class.Sometimes you'll achieve your goals; sometimes youwon't.  Even if you do your best, you may stillfall short. You'll have to pick your battles.

Some are worth fighting; others are best ignored。

考慮決定好你想從每個(gè)課程里得到什么。有時(shí)你會(huì)達(dá)到你的目標(biāo)，有時(shí)不會(huì)。盡管你盡力了，但你有可能仍然失敗。你要選擇你的戰(zhàn)場(chǎng)。有些值得戰(zhàn)斗，有些完全可以忽略。

5. Triageruthlessly。

有所取舍

You don't need to put an equal amount of effortinto every class.  Inject extra effort when it'simportant to you, but feel free to back off a little from classesthat are a low priority based on your specific goals。

你無(wú)須對(duì)每一個(gè)課程都付出同樣的努力。重要的課程可以多加把勁，但對(duì)于那些對(duì)你的目標(biāo)無(wú)足輕重的課程可以松懈一點(diǎn)。

6. Get an earlystart to each day。

一天之計(jì)在于晨

Getting an early start each day helped you get alot more done, not just in the morning but throughout the day。

每天早起對(duì)你益處很多，不僅僅是早晨而是一整天。

7. Reclaim wastedtime during your classes。

充分利用課堂時(shí)間

Not every class is going to require your utmostconcentration. Sometimes teachers babble.

Sometimes they reiterate what you already know. If a class isreally challenging, sit in the front and soak up everyword.  But if a class isn't challenging you, thensit in the back, do homework for other classes, and pop your headup every once in a while to see if there's anything worth jottingdown。

不是每一節(jié)課都需要你全神貫注。有時(shí)老師只是在東扯西拉，有時(shí)只是在重復(fù)你已經(jīng)知道的東西。如果這節(jié)課很有意思，那么坐在前面，仔細(xì)聽(tīng)每一個(gè)字。如果很無(wú)聊，那么坐在后面完成其它學(xué)科的家庭作業(yè)吧。當(dāng)然，每隔一會(huì)要抬頭聽(tīng)聽(tīng)是不是有什么值得記下來(lái)。

8. Learn materialthe very first time it's presented。

拒絕重復(fù)學(xué)習(xí)

One of the biggest time wasters in school ishaving to relearn something you didn't learn properly the firsttime.  When students say they're studying, most ofthe time they're making up for a previous failure to learn thematerial。

學(xué)校里大的一個(gè)時(shí)間浪費(fèi)就是不斷重新學(xué)習(xí)你在第一次沒(méi)有完全掌握的東西。學(xué)生們說(shuō)他們?cè)趯W(xué)校時(shí)大部分的時(shí)間都是在重復(fù)以前的錯(cuò)誤。

9. Master advancedmemory techniques。

科學(xué)記憶

One of the keys to learning material the firsttime is to train yourself in advanced memory techniques. I don'trecommend memorizing by repetition because it's way too slow。

學(xué)習(xí)的關(guān)鍵之一就是掌握科學(xué)的記憶方法。不推薦重復(fù)記憶，因?yàn)樘珱](méi)有效率了。

10. Have someserious fun!

享受生活

Challenge yourself academically, but giveyourself plenty of time for fun as well.  Don'tsquander your leisure time hanging around doing nothing。

學(xué)業(yè)上要努力，但也要給自己充足的娛樂(lè)時(shí)間。別在業(yè)余時(shí)間無(wú)所事事。
