5 Tips for Students Living Away From Home
Don’t Skip Orientation Week
Be involved! It’s the most effective way to make friends during the first couple weeks of being away from home. I am a fairly quiet person, and I came to university without knowing anyone. It was a little hard at first, but as long as you participate and keep your spirits up, you should make new friends in no time. Resist the Urge to Go Home
I would suggest not making a habit of going home every weekend so you won’t miss out on things that happen during the weekend at school. Try to avoid going home the weekend after O-Week ends, or for all of September if possible. The first month will be the biggest adjustment and it's just easier to settle in, hang out with people and explore the city on weekends. Stay Connected
I message and text my sister often and Facebook my friends to keep connected. Making new friends and diving into activities and homework is a great way to keep
yourself occupied, but in those moments when you are feeling incredibly lonely and
wondering what your mom is making for dinner, you need something extra. My recommendation is to have a couple photo albums to look through. It's also a good idea to make a plan to have a friend or family member come visit you. That way you have a piece of home to look forward to. Spend Time on Campus
I met many off-campus people during O-week and in my classes, and some are now my best friends. Get involved in clubs, talk to people and don't go home immediately after your classes are done.
Live in Residence Halls (寄宿)
What you have to remember is that everybody else is going through the exact same things, so take comfort in that. Get to know your floor, let them become your home away from home and you'll see that you'll get through it easier than you thought. My residence holds lots of events such as parties and mixers for us to meet new people, I've attended all the events in my residence and school, and I've met tons of awesome people! What I'd say is: don't be shy, and socialize(社交). You'll make friends in no time. I've found residence halls to be beneficial, because my floor has helped each other through the transition (过渡时期). People living on your floor are more likely to understand your problems with school rather than your friends from high school who go to other universities.
56. When you fees extremely lonely, you are advised to
A. go back home immediately B. invite a friend to visit you
C. devote yourself to homework D. Facebook your friends or family 57. Why is it beneficial to live in residence halls? A. It is full of people with the same experience. B. It is as comfortable as your own house.
C. It is convenient to hold parties and activities.
D. It's similar to your old school.
B
Growing up in the 1950s,I was a 10-year-old risk-taker who caused his mom lots of stress. Once I got into my aunt’s car so I could pretend to be a race car drive and accidentally knocked the parking gear stick(变速杆) off. The car rolled down the driveway as fast as it could go, crossed the road and finally stopped up against my neighbour’s curb（路边）。 I thought it was fun,but Mom didn’t think so. Normally would see a spanking (打屁股) coming,but this time I lucked out. I guess she was glad I was all right.
I enjoyed watching The Adventure of Superman on television so much that I wanted to fly just like him. One day I got into the closet and picked one of Mom’s best pillowcases(被套)。 I went out onto the front yard and tied the case around my neck,pretending it was a cape（斗篷）。Then,standing on the side of the porch(走廊),which was about 7 feet high, I jumped. The spanking my mother gave me didn’t hurt as much as my scraped knees.
But the worst thing I ever did happened when I tried to impress the new girl across the street. She was incredibly cute,so I went over and introduced myself.
After I told her my name,she said she wanted to show me something she had found. We went into her backyard,and in the knot of the biggest and oldest tree was a beehive. She said she liked
