【转发】转自麻省理工，关于大学的50件事，中英对照。

6. If you write your best papers the night before they are due, don't let people tell you that you "should be more organized" or that you "should plan better." Different things work for different people. Personally, I worked best under pressure - so I always procrastinated... and always kicked ass (which annoyed my friends to no end). ;-) Use the freedom that comes with not having grades first semester to experiment and see what works best for you. 如果你在快要交差时熬夜赶出来的论文最好，那就别在乎别人说你“你该学会安排时间”或者“有计 划更好”。每个人都有不同的工作方式。就我而言，我在压力下做得更好，所以我很拖沓= =，而且总是弄砸（？）（这让我的朋友发无名火XDDD）好好利用第一学期不打分数的自由吧，去经历不同的事然后找出最好的适合你的方式。
7. At least a few times in your college career, do something fun and irresponsible when you should be studying. The night before my freshman year psych final, my roommate somehow scored front row seats to the Indigo Girls at a venue 2 hours away. I didn't do so well on the final, but I haven't thought about psych since 1993. I've thought about the experience of going to that show (with the guy who is now my son's godfather) at least once a month ever since. 在大学至少有那么几次放 纵享乐，无视你本来应该在学习。在我大一精神科期末考前夜，我的室友居然搞到蓝色少女合唱团的前排票，而演出的地点要两小时路程。我期末考表现不怎么样， 但在1993年之后我从未怀念考试，我只怀念去看演出的经历（还是和现在我儿子的教父一起去的），而且从那以后每个月都想起那么一两次。

8. Become friends with your favorite professors. Recognize that they can learn from you too - in fact, that's part of the reason they chose to be professors. 和你喜欢的教授交朋友。同时记得他们也会从你身上学到东西——事实上这也是他们想当教授的原因之一。
9. Carve out an hour every single day to be alone. (Sleeping doesn't count.) 每天匀出一小时独处。（睡觉不算）
10. Go on dates. Don't feel like every date has to turn into a relationship. 出去约会，但别想着每个约会都将变成恋爱。
11. Don't date someone your roommate has been in a relationship with. 不要和你室友的EX交往。
12. When your friends' parents visit, include them. You'll get free food, etc., and you'll help them to feel like they're cool, hangin' with the hip college kids. 当你朋友的父母来访，接纳他们。你将能白吃白喝什么的。。而且你会使他们觉得自己很酷，能够和时髦的大学孩子打成一片。
13. In the first month of college, send a hand-written letter to someone who made college possible for you and describe your adventures thus far. It will mean a lot to him/her now, and it will mean a lot to you in ten years when he/she shows it to you. 入学一个月，你该手写一封信给帮助你进入大学的人，告诉他们至今你的经历。这对她/他而言意义很大，而在十年后她/他将信给你看时也是如此。
14. Embrace the differences between you and your classmates. Always be asking yourself, "what can I learn from this person?" More of your education will come from this than from any classroom. 包容你和同学的差异。时刻提醒自己“我能从他身上学习什么？”这比上课能学到的多多了。
15. All-nighters are entirely overrated. 所有夜猫子都被高估了。（？我猜是熬夜的人都高估自己的熬夜能力?）

21. Welcome failure into your lives. It's how we grow. What matters is not that you failed, but that you recovered. 直面失败。我们因失败成长。关键不是你受伤而是你愈合。
22. Take some classes that have nothing to do with your major(s), purely for the fun of it. 选些非专业课，纯粹因爱好去学。
23. It's important to think about the future, but it's more important to be present in the now. You won't get the most out of college if you think of it as a stepping stone. 计划未来很重要，但活在当下更重要。你如果拿大学当垫脚石你就不能充分利用大学。
24. When you're living on a college campus with 400 things going on every second of every day, watching TV is pretty much a waste of your time and a waste of your parents' money. If you're going to watch, watch with friends so at least you can call it a "valuable social experience." 当大学每时每刻有400件事在进行，看电视完全就是浪费时间和金钱。如果你一定要看，至少和朋友一起看吧，好歹能算“有价值的社交经历”
25. Don't be afraid to fall in love. When it happens, don't take it for granted. Celebrate it, but don't let it define your college experience. 不要害怕陷入爱情。当爱来临，也不要当做必然。感谢恋爱，但不要让它主导你的大学生活。

37. In the long run, where you go to college doesn't matter as much as what you do with the opportunities you're given there. The MIT name on your resume won't mean much if that's the onlything on your resume. As a student here, you will have access to a variety of unique opportunities that no one else will ever have - don't waste them. 长远来看，你读什么大学没有你在大学所把握的机遇重要。你简历上写着麻省理工并不意味着什么如果其他什么都没有。作为麻省理工的学生，你会比别人有更多的独一无二的机遇——别错过。
38. On the flip side, don't try to do everything.Balance = well-being. 另一方面，别试图做遍所有事情。平衡=充分
39. Make perspective a priority. If you're too close to something to have good perspective, rely on your friends to help you. 长远为重。如果你过于沉迷于当下的事而失去大局观，让你的朋友帮你。
40. Eat badly sometimes. It's the last time in your life when you can do this without feeling guilty about it. 偶尔饮食无序。这是你这辈子最后的机会去这么做还不自责的。
41. Make a complete ass of yourself at least once, preferably more. It builds character. 出次洋相，多几次更好。这能铸造性格。
42. Wash your sheets more than once a year. Trust me on this one. 一年洗一次以上床单吧，这个可以有。（我好意译了。。）

43. If you are in a relationship and noneof your friends want to hang out with you and your significant other, pay attention. They usually know better than you do. 如果你在恋爱，然后没有一个朋友想和你&你的恋人一起出去，请留心。他们比你更能看清楚（他是怎么一个人）。
44. Don't be afraid of the weird pizza topping combinations that your new friend from across the country loves. Some of the truly awful ones actually taste pretty good. Expand your horizons. 别怕你来自外地的朋友喜欢的披萨配料组合，有些确实很难吃但有些确实很美味。开拓眼界吧。
45. Explore the campus thoroughly. Don't get caught. 充分探索你的校园。但别被抓。（别进禁区么？。。好冷的点。。。）
46. Life is too short to stick with a course of study that you're no longer excited about. Switch, even if it complicates things. 人生苦短别坚持学你失去兴趣的课程。换掉吧，即便会很麻烦。
47. Tattoos are permanent. Be very certain. 纹身是一辈子的事，请谨慎。

哦呵呵：：我准备复出了………带领大家重温去年那样的贴吧的火爆场面
