　　College is the time to try new things, meet new people, and have new experiences. The thingsis, it can all fall apart if you don’t have a clear idea of what you are getting into. Be sure tomake the best of it with these tips for new college students.

　　大学是尝试新事物、结交新朋友、经历新体验的时机。问题是如果你不清楚自己要做什么，这些机遇就会白白浪费掉。大学新生一定要好好用用下面的这几个方法。

　　1. Go to class

　　去上课

　　Oh, it will be so tempting to sleep in. After all, you’re a college student! You can do what youwant, right? Well, you sure can if you want to scramble to make up for it later on. It is mucheasier to hold a GPA than to attempt to bring it up!

　　睡觉很诱人呀。毕竟你是大学生了!你可以想做什么就做什么，对吧?好吧，如果你想以后仓促补上那当然可以。保持住学分绩点比尝试提高它要容易得多!

　　2. Know what you can handle course-wise

　　知道如何能明智地处理课程

　　It is much better to finish a semester ‘late’ (who doesn’t these days?) than to have a nervousbreakdown because of over-scheduling yourself. In the bigger picture, a few months or even ayear does not make that much of a difference, unless you want to brag about how you finishedschool on time.

　　推迟完成(现在谁不这样?)比过度安排导致自己精神紧张要好得多。从大局的角度看，几个月甚至一年的时间也不会有多大的不同，除非你想吹嘘自己如何按时完成学业。

　　3. Get involved

　　参与进去

　　You might be attending school in a different state, or even in your own state. Either way youcan afford to expand your interests and meet new people. College is an easy way to makecontacts and new friends!

　　你可能要去到另外一个州读大学，也可能还是在自己家乡所在的州。无论是在哪里，你都能够扩大你的兴趣并结交新的朋友。大学是接触和结交新朋友的简单方式!

　　4. Make friends in your program who are ahead of you

　　结交班级里成绩比你好的朋友

　　This way you might be able to borrow their old tests, notes and/or lab reports. This is notcheating, but using your resources and contacts wisely. Many sororities and fraternities havethese resources available, some even in database form! You can trade off with this friend or dosomething nice like bake him/her cookies for their help.

　　这样你就可能向借他们以前的测验、笔记和/或实验报告了。这不是作弊，而是明智地使用你的资源和人脉。很多姐妹会和兄弟会都有这些资源，有一些甚至存在了数据库里!你可以和你的朋友交换下，或做一些像给他/她烤饼干这样的事情来感谢他们的帮助。

　　5. On that note, consider joining a sorority or fraternity

　　说到这里，可以考虑加入姐妹会或兄弟会

　　Yes, you have to go to social events. Yes, you might get categorized as a snob or fill-in-the-inappropriate-name-blank, but you really can benefit from the social network and resources(such as old tests).

　　是的，你必须要去社交。是的，可能有同学觉得你很势利，觉得你很烦哪儿哪儿都有你，但你真的可以从这些社交网络和资源中受益(如以前的测验)。

　　6. Buy your books online or from a friend

　　从网上或朋友那里买书

　　Holy cow, the universities make a boatload off of textbooks! Using one book for a semester(even with selling it back) can cost $100 plus! Many companies like Amazon sell textbookscheaper than at universities and offer gift cards at a decent rate to sell them back.

　　我的天，大学的教科书可以装满一船!一学期用一本书(甚至把它卖掉后)就得花100多美元!许多像亚马逊这样的公司卖的教科书价格比大学里要便宜，而且还提供礼品卡，用完后卖出去的价格也合理。
