How do I make the most out of my college experience?

我如何充分利用大学时光？

Go in with an open mind. You're gonna learn so much, meet so many new people.

用开放的心态享受大学。你要多学习，多认识新朋友。

Say yes to every offer and opportunity.

接受任何提议和机会。

Have fun. Get in study groups.

尽情享受。参加学习小组。

Get involved with as much stuff¹ as you can. Be active on campus², because after that, real life hits and you're paying bills.

尽可能多参加活动。在校园里要活跃，因为毕业后你就要面对现实生活的冲击，你就要开始支付账单了。

I like to refer to a Venn diagram³, where you either have a social life, you have good grades, or you get sleep. And you have to choose two. You can't choose all three.

我喜欢用维恩图，你可以选择社会生活、好成绩还有充足的睡眠。你只能选择其中两个。不能三个都选。

When I went to college, it was the beginning of computers, believe it or not. Laptops and technology, like a computer — you know, that's the things that you must have in college.

我上大学时，还是电脑刚刚普及的年代，信不信由你。笔记本电脑和电脑等技术是你在大学期间一定要有的东西。

Shmoop — that's what I recommend. It's, like, a way better version⁴ of SparkNotes. It got me through classes.

我要推荐的是Shmoop网站。相当于是SparkNotes网站的升级版。这个网站帮我通过了很多课程。

Really start thinking independently.

真正开始独立思考。

Be nice to your professors. Be nice to them, 'cause it's way different from high school. Like, they actually care about teaching⁵. And if you're nice with the professors, sometimes the grading is a little bit more flexible.

好好对待你的教授。好好对待他们，因为大学和高中有很大的不同。他们非常关心教学。如果你和教授好好相处，有时成绩可以适当地灵活一些。

I think it's all about time management.

我认为最重要的是时间管理。

Balancing the study and fun. You have to first figure out what are your priorities⁶.

平衡学习和玩乐的时间。你首先要弄清楚你的首要目的是什么。

Work your butt⁷ off four, five days out of the week. And then the two, three days that you're able to relax — you need to go balls to the wall.

每周要有四至五天的时间全力以赴。之后剩下的两三天可以放松，你要用尽全力。

Don't go hard every weekend. Just really learn how to balance it. You know, don't go out the night before you have a test.

不要每个周末都努力学习。你要学会平衡。你知道，不要在考试前一晚出去玩。

The main thing I'd say is probably just weird⁸ stuff with Top Ramen.

我认为重要的可能是Top Ramen拉面那些奇怪的东西。

When there's nothing in the fridge, your best friend — every college student can relate to this — is Cup O' Noodles. You take two of those, and then you put mac and cheese in the middle. And I ate that, and luckily I didn't have a heart attack. But it was delicious.

冰箱里没有吃的时候，你最好的朋友就是杯面，所有大学生都可以参考这点。你拿出两个杯面，然后在中间放上起司通心粉。我吃过，幸运的是我没有得心脏病。其实味道非常好。

Freshman⁹ 15 is a real thing, so make sure you exercise often.

新生15磅这件事是真的，所以要确保经常锻炼。

My fondest memories are not necessarily¹⁰ what was being taught but the activities and the people that went alongside¹¹ that.

我最美好的记忆不一定是在大学中学到的知识，而是参加的活动和在各种活动中结识的人。

One thing that we did was we buried a time capsule. For a bachelor party, when one of us got married like 10 years later, we went back to dig it up. Couldn't find the thing. All of us, whenever we get together, we always talk about, (hushed) "We're gonna go back and find that thing."

我们之前有埋下一个时间胶囊。在一场单身派对上，在我们几个人中有一个人结婚10年以后，我们回去想把时间胶囊挖出来。可是我们什么也没有找到。只要我们聚在一起，我们就一直在说，“我们要回去找到那个时间胶囊。”

First night of college, I took a shower in this group bathroom. And I come out in my towel, and there's this girl walking down the hall with this giant teddy bear. And she just looks at me. I'm just in my towel. And she's like, "Hi!" and she gave me a hug. And I'm like, in my towel in the first night of college. And I call my mom. "I want to go home, Mom! I don't like it here!" Your whole college isn't weird, like, you know? You just got to make the most of it.

大学的第一晚，我在公共浴室洗澡。我围着浴巾出来时，有个女孩抱着一只巨大的泰迪熊从大厅那边走过来。她就那样看着我。我身上只有浴巾。她说，“你好！”然后她过来抱了我。在大学的第一晚，我就那样裹着浴巾。然后我给我妈打了电话：“妈妈，我想回家！我不喜欢这里！”你知道吗，你的大学生活并不奇怪。你只要充分利用大学时光就好。
