大学时光不能虚度：给大学生活的5条宝贵建议

Some of the best lessons available to us can come outside of the classroom in the form of a mentor. One of the most powerful growth opportunities is being a mentor. Early on, find someone on campus who you feel can help you grow and develop a relationship with him or her. Also find someone for you to mentor. You will reinforce and enrich your own learning experience by teaching someone else.
一些对我们而言最重要的课程，并不是在教室中学到的，而是来自那些良师益友。而对个人而言，最有利的成长机遇之一是成为别人的良师益友。刚开始时，在校园里找一个你觉得能帮助自己成长的人，和他或她建立起良好的关系。也找一个你能帮助的人。通过教导别人，你会加强并丰富自己的学习经历。

Get the job done
完成学业，拿到学位

It is natural to occasionally feel you want to quit, when it makes more sense to you to go find a full-time job. Resist that urge. As Jocelyn Negron-Rios, a mother of two, who is currently completing her degree, advises, “No matter how difficult it seems, keep at it because however insurmountable it feels now multiply that by 10,000 and that is how it feels when you are in your thirties with a full-time job and a family and are trying to pursue a degree.”
偶尔有想退出的感觉这很自然，当你想去找一份全职工作时这种感觉就更强了。要拒绝这种冲动。乔斯·林古龙里奥斯是两个孩子的母亲，目前她正在攻读学位。她建议，“无论看起来有多难，一定要坚持下来。因为虽然现在看起来这些困难无法克服，但是当你30岁的时候，有着一份全职的工作，有着一个家庭需要供养，那时再去努力攻读学位，那种感觉会是你现在感觉的一万倍。”
