When I first entered college, I was excited at first, looking forward to college life, and then a little overwhelmed because I didn't know what campus life was like. I remember the first thing I did when I came to school was to familiarize myself with the terrain and walk around the school. I don't have any position, so I don't have any tasks except homework, so I have a lot of time to participate in campus activities and gradually get familiar with campus life. One of the important things I did in the second semester was to change my major, which made me very satisfied. There was also a night market next to the school, which made me gain weight and my wallet shrink.

In the past one year of college life,I deeply realized that college was very different from I imagined and what my parents portrayed.Parents always say:when you get to college,you'll be left alone to do whatever you want.And you are free to do what you want to do.Until I went to college,due to the COVID-19 pandemic,freedom of access is restricted.Like a high school routine,there are morning reading and evening self-study.Before I went to college,I was excited and happy.But in this age of rate race,the pressure to study has not reduced.I need to study my professional knowledge to improve myself ,take part in exams and competitions.

Before I went to college, I thought I would participate in many activities and make many friends, but after coming to the campus, I found that I prefer to be alone rather than with a lot of people. However, my first year of college life was also very fulfilling and happy, I completed the major change, completed the examination of CET-4 and CET-6, got along with my roommates very well, and enjoyed delicious food every day.

Myths: After entering college,students don't have to spend too much time on study.
Facts: Students still have to spend a lot of time to study, to pass all kinds of exams, and get all kinds of certificates. Such as teacher qualification certificate, computer certificate and so on.

Myth：College students have a lot of free time to do something what I like. And they can go out at any time without taking extra courses into consideration.
Fact: I am supposed to run between school buildings in 5 or 10 minutes. Moreover, campus activities and voluntary work are of vital importance as well. We are asked to achieve a level before graduating. Sometimes I feel tired.

The followings are some of my experiences.
Myth 1 : College student would be more free and happy when entering universities, for they have the opportunity to manage their own time and do nearly everything she/he want .
Fact 1 : Looking back to my first year in my college, I certainly possessed more free time to do some my favorite things. Nevertheless, gradually I began to enter a sort of circle where I just satisfied my pleasure and lived without any goals and even though I knew what I do now was actually wrong, I still could not cheer myself up and found out the real self. As a matter of fact, I come to realize that as a college stduent, only when we start to govern our conduct and demonstrate self-regulation could we be aware of our surroundings, thus seeking out our directions of lives and enrich our soul. In addition, having the ability to manage time does not lie in enjoying those pocket of time, but learn how to fully leverage our precious time and balance the reelationship between study and entertainment.
Myth 2: College student could be engaged in all sorts of activities and competitions and make friends with individuals from other areas.
Fact 2: I must to say I have imagined many times over varieties of school activities or outside it, for it is known that college lives are colourful and exciting. However, I find I nearly have not find any meaning and interesting activities in our school and the only aim to take part in certain events is merely to get scores, which is aso utilitarian . Since I have no choice of being involved in activities , I cannot meet more people and learn more about some strategies about relationship-handling.

In the past，i believe that college life would be interesting and rich than high school life，without too much pressure. However，when i truly experienced college life，i realized that the pressure of college was no less than high school. I had to prepare for various group assignments, participate in various activities, and obtain various certificates.

I used to think that college life is carefree, there is no competition and pressure, students should be comfortable, relaxed and lazy, but in fact, everyone in college is very hard, are very motivated, and are working hard to get better results,and even go to the library day by day to finish homework and improve their skills.

Myths:Many people may think that English majors must have a good command of English.
Fact:But it didn't feel that way until I went to college.With the development of the Internet, learning resources are more and more abundant, English learning is no longer a high threshold.Self-disciplined people can also achieve a high level of English through self-study.On the contrary, if English majors do not work hard , then their level will not be very high.In addition, a large proportion of foreign students' English level is higher than that of English majors, at least in spoken English.

There is still some difference between the university I imagined and the one I am currently attending. But it's also possible that I didn't get into a public university. Myths: 1、The campus of a university is very large.2、On the weekend, you can have a free and easy trip. 3、There's no need to compare grades, 60 points long live. However, the facts: 1、Our college is not big. 2、Tuition fees are expensive. Besides, after deducting the monthly living expenses, including various miscellaneous expenses, there is no money to travel at all. 3、Although passing the exam is good, no one tells you that the scholarship in college, joining the Communist Party, and various factors that are conducive to finding a good job all depend on your grades

In high school, I was full of longing for college.I think everything in college is free, wonderful and comfortable.In my imagination, we can learn deeper knowledge in class and give play to our expertise. In our spare time, we can allocate our own time, eat the food we like in the canteen, play computer and mobile phones freely, and have no deep study pressure.
However, after I entered the university, I found that the study pressure in the university is equally heavy, there is no teacher's constraint, the school's plan, we rely on our own self-discipline to complete the homework and exams. And in our spare time, we should enrich ourselves and learn content. But college is also as free as imagined, but we need to learn more deeply and learn knowledge. -
Before going to college, I thought that I would meet all kinds of people in college, and it might be difficult to find friends who get along well with me. But when I came to the university, I found that they were very easy to get along with, and I also met very good roommates.

When i was in the high school, most people told me that college life was easy, and you didn't have to work really hard as before, and you can do almost whatever you like, such as developing your hobby, travelling, falling in love with someone and so on. However, through the past one year, i find the above views to be both right and wrong. College life is not all play, not all study, but a combination of work and rest. College's target is to make you to be a versatile talent and make you to better adapt to society. After all, college is a "small society". It is not society in the true sence, but it is a transitional stage that make us better adapted to the future society. So don't forget to study in your spare time. Likewise, don't only study. Both of them are important.

Before I entered college, adults always told me: college is how easy and happy. This makes me yearn for college life all the time. However, when I actually entered the university, the epidemic overwhelmed me, and my long-awaited freshman life was almost spent under the shadow of the epidemic. Similarly, college is not just about having fun. Study takes up most of the time. College requires a lot more focus and self-control than high school did. It's a challenge for me. However, such a colorful college life, full of freedom and joy that is different from the past, fascinates me.

Myths: I can go out to play in the holiday, learn about new cities, taste the food of different places, and enrich my experience.
Facts: It coincides with the epidemic closure of the school, and the scope of activities is in the school every day.Myths: Entering the university, I will have a free life, I can arrange my own time to do what I like.
Facts: The school will regularly check the hygiene of the dormitory, check the attendance, volunteer hours are also required, and there are various lectures and meetings to attend.Myths: Going to college can start each day in a comfortable state.

When I entered university, I thought that the club activities were very colorful, and I joined the dubbing club with great hope, but on the contrary, there were no so-called courses to improve dubbing skills in this year, some were just regular clock-ins every night, and the so-called activities were only for a few credits

Before entering college, just like a high school teacher said: college is already a small society, I thought everyone will focus on social, before this many people said that college interpersonal relationship is complicated, but when I entered the university, I found that my classmates are very friendly, the dormitory conflicts I worried about before did not appear.
-
Before going to college, I think college life is full of freedom and joy, we can get rid of the depressed life in high school, have our own independent space, can do what we want to do, and get rid of the pressure of parents and teachers
After entering the university, I found that it is necessary to study hard in the university, and I found that the pressure in the university is still huge. Although we can control our own time, we will be busy and tired because of lack of self-discipline, which leads to the situation that we have to learn to be independent and adapt to loneliness, which is a bit difficult for us to overcome

Myths:College life is easier and richer than high school
Facts:College is very busy, which is different from the busy period of high school, the high school period is very tired and busy, but the goal is very clear. After entering the university, there are a lot of things to do every day, usually, after a day of work, I do not know what I have done, which is a kind of physical and psychological fatigue.

When I was in high school,eveyone around me told me that only if you went to a college,you would be free.However,the college life is not as relaxed as I imaged.Not only should get higher scores in every tasks but also foster a interest. Furthermore,we should attatch importance to develop good relationship and so on.

Before I came to the university, I thought that the life in the university would be like what my parents said, "You will be comfortable when you go to the university". But after a semester of study, I found that it was different from what I imagined. It seemed that everyone was not thinking about study, and more people chose to spend their time on recreation rather than study. Before I came, I did not think it was difficult to get up in the morning, but as I went to bed later and later at night, it seemed very difficult to get up in the morning, thinking that I could have a good sleep without the morning. But although college life is different from what I imagined, everyday life is still very much looking forward to......

In college I have more free time, but I have to arrange it well. Before I went to college, I wanted to to go a school far from home, but when I did go to the college, I often felt homesick. Of course, it also made me learn to be independent and I began to deal with problems on my own.
-
Myths:Before I went to college, my parents and teachers told me that college life was pleasant and comfortable.
Facts:But over the past year, that's not what I've felt. At the beginning of the semester, I encountered the epidemic, and stayed in the dormitory all day, which was very boring and accompanied by fear. In the study life of the next semester, I think the previous myth can also be correct. We can use our spare time to join clubs and visit outside to broaden our horizons. But the most important thing is to study.

When I was in high school, many teachers told us that we could do anything we want to do and enjoy the best stage of life. However, as a freshman, early reading and evening study quickly broke my fantasy. Due to time conflicts, I even had to get up at six in the morning to accomplish the school running task. Fortunately, I have made plenty of friends, with their company, my college life is still colorful.

When I was in high school, I fantasized about college life all the time. At that time, all the elders around me told me "Be sure to study hard now, when you go to the college, it will be free." Now, I am in college, but there is still a big gap between myths and facts. In my fantasy college, I can study easily and find the job I want as soon as I graduate. However, the reality is that college subjects are more esoteric. At the same time, college study needs a lof of self-control so that I may not pass the final exam. But, there are still many wonderful things in college. For example, I have many opportunities to cultivate interpersonal relationships, I can learn more profound knowledge, I can also improve my sense of social responsibility and so on.

Before I went to college I thought college life was all about enjoyable activities, wonderful double days and endless good food.But the reality is that college has countless group assignments, a lot of deadlines and crowded weekends.There's a big gap between the ideal and the reality.Now that you have chosen college life, you have to face it bravely.
-
In the past,I thought the college life is easy and free, just like what some person said on the Internet. But in fact, college life is not as easy as what we thought before. We still should pay a lot of time on our study. Of course, we also have enough time to develop our own interests.So after the real experience will find, although not as happy as I thought before. But such a lifestyle is also a better way than imagined.
-
When I was a high school student,I thought it would be easier for me to enter the university, but in fact, the courses in the university are more profound and require stronger understanding ability, and there is no teacher's supervision all the time, learning depends on our own consciousness. At the same time, we also have to get various certificates in order to find a job more smoothly in the future, and it is not as simple as imagined in high school.

Myths:Before entering university,I think my college life must be colorful and I’ll meet many new friends.Meanwhile, I don’t need to spend too much energy on studying like in high school.I’ll have enough time to do what I want to do.
Facts:College life is different from what I imagine.In the past year, I still need to get up early and complete the tasks assigned by the teachers after class.And I still worry about whether I pass the exam or not. I haven’t become very outgoing,and most of the time I’m always silent.
