Adjust your schedule around when you are most productive andcreative. If you're nocturnal and do your best work late at night, embracethat. It may be the only time in your life when you can.
调整你的日程到你最有效率和创造力的方式。如果你是夜猫子并且在晚上工作最棒，那就接受这种模式。这可能是你人生中唯一能这么做的时间。

At least a few times in your college career, do something fun andirresponsible when you should be studying. The night before my freshman yearpsych final, my roommate somehow scored front row seats to the Indigo Girls ata venue 2 hours away. I didn't do so well on the final, but I haven't thoughtabout 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。

Become friends with your favorite professors. Recognize that they canlearn from you too - in fact, that's part of the reason they chose to beprofessors.
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。

Call someone you love back home a few times a week, even if just fora few minutes.
每周打给家里你所爱的人几次电话，即使只讲几分钟。

Carve out an hour every single day to be alone. (Sleeping doesn'tcount.)
每天匀出一小时独处。（睡觉不算）

Don't be afraid of (or excited by) the co-ed bathrooms. The thrill isover in about 2 seconds.
别对公共浴室感到恐惧（或者产生兴奋感）。这种感觉进去两秒钟就没了。

Embrace the differences between you and your classmates. Always beasking yourself, "what can I learn from this person?" More of youreducation 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。

If you are in a relationship and none of your friends want to hangout with you and your significant other, pay attention. They usually knowbetter 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/她是怎么一个人）。

If you write your best papers the night before they are due, don'tlet 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... andalways kicked ass. Use the freedom that comes with not having grades firstsemester 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。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。

If you need to get a job, find something that you actually enjoy.Just because it's work doesn't mean it has to suck.
如果你想工作，做你真正喜欢的。就算是工作也不应该无聊。

In thefirst month of college, send a hand-written letter to someone who made collegepossible for you and describe your adventures thus far. It will mean a lot tohim/her now, and it will mean a lot to you in ten years when he/she shows it toyou.
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。

In ten years very few of you will look as good as you do right now,so secretly revel in how hot you are before it's too late.
十年后你多半没有现在这么迷人，所以悄悄地自恋吧，别等到来不及的时候。

In the long run, where you go to college doesn't matter as much aswhat you do with the opportunities you're given there. The MIT name on yourresume won't mean much if that's the only thing on your resume. As a studenthere, you will have access to a variety of unique opportunities that no oneelse 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。

It's important to think about the future, but it's more important tobe present in the now. You won't get the most out of college if you think of itas 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。

Make a complete ass of yourself at least once, preferably more. Itbuilds character.
出次洋相，多几次更好。这能铸造性格。

Things that seem like the end of the world really do become funnywith a little time and distance. Knowing this, forget the embarassment and skipto the good part.
看上去是世界末日的事情，过段时间真的会显得很搞笑。知道了这个，你就能忘掉尴尬直接跳到之后好的部分了。

This is the only time in your lives when your only realresponsibility is to learn. Try to remember how lucky you are every day.
这是人生中仅有的时刻，你仅有的职责是去学习。试着每一天都告诉自己，你有多幸运。

Your health and safety are more important than anything.
你的健康和安全最最宝贵。

Wednesday is the middle of the week； therefore onwednesday night the week is more than half over. You should celebrateaccordingly. (It makes thursday and friday a lot more fun.)
周三是一周的中间。因此周三晚上表示一周大部分过去了，你应该庆祝一下。（这让周四周五更有趣了。）

Welcome failure into your lives. It's how we grow. What matters isnot 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。

Working things out between friends is best donein person, not over email. (IM does not count as "in person.") Oftensomeone's facial expressions will tell you more than his/her words.
解决朋友之间问题的最好方式是面谈，不要用电邮。（即时通讯不算“当面”）一个人的表情胜过言语。
