Time isn’t on my side. Another year has passed, and the completion of my junior year is the essence of my thought. What a year it has been.

I ritually write a column summarizing the new theories of each of my years. Now I’m a 20-year-old college student, bittersweet at having one year remaining. I have 10 points to share on my latest stop on my journey to commencement. Here we go:

·The navigating one. Why can college be so utopian, so realistic, but so unrealistic? I’ve been fortunate this year to get most things my way. But my encouragement to freshmen is stick to the fight. The race is given to the swift, but you must see the goal before you take off running. Find your niche on campus, and maximize your potential in that domain.

·The prodigious two: Academic and extra-curricular achievement is important, but communication skills and personality are a must! Personality is everything. Look at the world”s most famous celebrities—they have talent, but personality is the driving force in their success. If you don’t have it, you won’t make it—plain and simple.

·The third eye. Know your value. You don’t have to be arrogant or overly cocky. Never settle for less—in relationships, jobs or grades. A man must know his value in a world where he is constantly marketing himself. But don’t value yourself so highly you are unable to learn from others.

·The sniping four: Don’t let your college experience overshadow your family. Fall semester, I realized my college career was taking up so much of my life that I was neglecting my family. I quickly fixed the problem. Habitat my need your help building a house, but don’t let your family’s framework fall apart at home.

·The oracle five: This is for those who make the laws and regulations we live by. Please don’t be naive. Just because it’s illegal doesn’t mean students are not doing it! Students, dont’be naive and think Crimewatch won’t discover you. We’re not immune to anything.

·Nostradamus six. Things may change, but we still have room to grow. Downtown has finally opened up to the black students. We can have parties and events comfortably at a few of the downtown clubs—which has been lacking. All downtown clubs don’t have a welcome mat. They claim their insurance policy doesn’t cover “hip-hop parties.”

·The turbulent seven: Never date anyone you couln’t see marrying or being in a long-lasting relationship with. The older you get, the more tiring relationship games are.

·Ethereal eight: Just trust the process! Things in life happen for a reason. We’ve all had situations we didn’t enderstand. I’m beginning to see why god allowed certain things in my life to occur: they have made me a better, stronger, realer person.

·The illmatic nine: Have fun here and everwhere! Lately, I’ve had this desire to road trip. I realized this year that clasees are gonna be hard—so let’s roll down to Atlanta for a party on a Thursday night or jump over to South Carolina for a weekend.

·The talented tenth: Nothing in life is guaranteed—a college degree, financial aid, nothing. Sometimes we think we’re giving 100 percent to a cause and we’ll fall short of the talented tenth needed to obtain what we want.

時(shí)間從不受我掌控。轉(zhuǎn)眼一年又逝，而我大三的終結(jié)恰恰誕生了我思想的精華。這是多么豐富精彩的一年啊!

我虔誠(chéng)的寫(xiě)下了這篇專欄文章，包含了我大學(xué)生活每一年所得出的新鮮結(jié)論。如今，我已是一名20歲的大學(xué)生了，感覺(jué)苦樂(lè)參半，因?yàn)橹皇Ｒ荒甑拇髮W(xué)時(shí)光了。當(dāng)我開(kāi)始大學(xué)生活的最后一段旅程并最終到達(dá)終點(diǎn)站畢業(yè)典禮的路上，我有十點(diǎn)小智慧獻(xiàn)給大家。內(nèi)容如下：

“一” 馬當(dāng)先：為何大學(xué)宛若天堂，如此真實(shí)，卻又如此虛幻？今年我很幸運(yùn)，大多數(shù)事情都做得順心如意。而我對(duì)于所有大一新生的建議還是這一點(diǎn)：奮斗。生命的賽跑 永遠(yuǎn)屬于先行者，但是要記得，在你起跑之前一定要有明確的目標(biāo)。給自己在大學(xué)里合理定位并挖掘出你最大的潛力在你想要開(kāi)墾的領(lǐng)域。

說(shuō)一不“二”：學(xué)術(shù)成就和課外活動(dòng)固然重要，但是人際交往和個(gè)性培養(yǎng)是必須的！個(gè)性意味著一切?？纯串?dāng)今世界那些著名的成功人士，他們有天賦，然而個(gè)性確實(shí)成就他們豐功偉業(yè)的原動(dòng)力。如果你尚未擁有獨(dú)特的個(gè)性，那你就不可能獲得成功——言簡(jiǎn)而意駭。

冰凍“三”尺：不要過(guò)度重視你的大學(xué)生活而忽略了你的家庭生活。秋季學(xué)期里，我發(fā)現(xiàn)我的生活幾乎要被大學(xué)學(xué)業(yè)給沾滿以至于我都一度忽略了自己的家人。我很快意識(shí)到了這一點(diǎn)并迅速的改正了。家里可能會(huì)請(qǐng)你幫忙造一座別墅，然而千萬(wàn)別在那之前就讓自己和家人分崩離析了。

眼觀“四”處：明確自我的價(jià)值。不管是在人際交往，工作或是學(xué)習(xí)中，你都沒(méi)有必要高傲自滿或者過(guò)度自負(fù)，但也絕不能低估自己。在這個(gè)需要不斷進(jìn)行自我推銷的世界里，任何人都必須明確知道自己所應(yīng)當(dāng)擁有的價(jià)值。然而要是你太高估自己的話，就可能失去了向他人學(xué)習(xí)的機(jī)會(huì)了。

三令“五”申：這一條是專門獻(xiàn)給那些為我們制定法律和規(guī)章的人們。請(qǐng)不要太天真。有些事情明知是違法亂紀(jì)卻并不代表學(xué)生族們就不會(huì)去做！同樣，學(xué)生朋友們，不要天真到以為警察們不會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)你的惡行，因?yàn)椋覀儾⒎鞘钦嬲摹疤熘溩印?，犯了錯(cuò)，甚至罪，都無(wú)法赦免。

“六 六”大順：風(fēng)水輪流轉(zhuǎn)，世界總在變。我們也還是擁有成長(zhǎng)的空間。市區(qū)里的娛樂(lè)場(chǎng)所也最終有向黑人學(xué)生們開(kāi)放了。和過(guò)去相比，我們有更多的俱樂(lè)部可以舒舒服 服地舉辦派對(duì)和活動(dòng)了。然而也不是所有的市區(qū)俱樂(lè)部都向我們熱情開(kāi)放，有些店主就用“我們沒(méi)為店里舉辦嘻哈派對(duì)投?！睘榻杩谔氯覀兊牡絹?lái)。

“七”情六欲：永遠(yuǎn)不要和你認(rèn)為不會(huì)繼續(xù)發(fā)展長(zhǎng)遠(yuǎn)關(guān)系甚至結(jié)婚的人約會(huì)。因?yàn)楫?dāng)你年歲漸增，你就會(huì)越發(fā)深陷感情游戲的復(fù)雜漩渦之中。

七上“八”下：享受過(guò)程吧！事情的發(fā)生總有其因果。我們總會(huì)身處一些不曾預(yù)料的困境。我開(kāi)始試著去理解為什么上天賜予我一些生命中的挫折，是因?yàn)槟切┦刮页蔀榱艘粋€(gè)更好，更堅(jiān)強(qiáng)，更真實(shí)的人吧。

“九九”歸一：無(wú)論到哪里，要及時(shí)行樂(lè)！最近，我愛(ài)上了旅行。盡管我知道未來(lái)這一年的課程將會(huì)非常難，但我還是想要在周三的夜里逃到亞特蘭大來(lái)舉辦一場(chǎng)瘋狂的派對(duì)或是蹦到南卡羅來(lái)納去享受一個(gè)周末。

八九不離“十”：生活中，沒(méi)有什么事情是理所應(yīng)當(dāng)?shù)摹髮W(xué)文憑如此，經(jīng)濟(jì)補(bǔ)助亦然。有些我們認(rèn)為已經(jīng)為之付出百分百熱血的事情會(huì)因?yàn)闆](méi)有意識(shí)到這第十點(diǎn)而無(wú)法獲得我們真正想要的。
