1. Answer the question, "Why am I going to college?"

　　解答问题：“我为何要读大学？”

　　Many college students really don't have a clear reason for being there other than the fact that they don't know what else to do yet.  They inherit goals from family and peers which aren't truly their own. What are you there to learn?  What do you want to experience?

　　许多 学生针对读大学也没有确立的缘故，除开一个客观事实——不清楚也有其他的事能够做。她们的总体目标并不是出自于心里只是深植于家中及其伙伴。你在这儿学习什么？你要想历经感受哪些？

　　2. Imagine your ideal college experience.

　　想像你的学校生活

　　Once you know why you're going to university, imagine your ideal outcome.  Whether you've already started university or not, stop and simply write down some attributes of your ideal experience. Describe it in as much detail as you can. Real life will of course turn out differently than you visualize.  The point of visualization is to give you more clarity for making decisions right now.

　　一旦确立了读大学的目地，就想像一下*爱情盛宴。不管你是不是早已开始了你的学校生活，停一会儿，将你的一些*想象的特性都简易地写下来。尽量地叙述详尽。真正的日常生活自然会有别于你的想像。但想像的关键所在能够协助你如今能够更好地做决定。

　　3. Take at least one extra class each semester.

　　每学年最少要报一门选修课程

　　The real benefit to a dense schedule isn't that you'll graduate sooner.  The real benefit is that you'll enjoy a richer experience.  This sort of thing sure looks great on a resume.

　　紧凑型的学习规划的真实益处不是你能迅速大学毕业。真实的益处就是你能够享有一个更丰富的历经。并且这也会让你的个人简历画龙点睛。

　　4. Set clear goals for each class.

　　每一个课程内容都建立总体目标

　　Decide what you want out of each specific class. Sometimes you'll achieve your goals; sometimes you won't.  Even if you do your best, you may still fall short. You'll have to pick your battles.  Some are worth fighting; others are best ignored.

　　考虑到决策好你要从每一个课程内容里获得哪些。有时候你能做到你的总体目标，有时候不容易。虽然你尽力了，但给你很有可能依然不成功。你需要挑选你的竞技场。有一些非常值得作战，有一些彻底能够忽视。

　　5. Triage ruthlessly.

　　有一定的选择

　　You don't need to put an equal amount of effort into every class.  Inject extra effort when it's important to you, but feel free to back off a little from classes that are a low priority based on your specific goals.

　　你不必对每一个课程内容都投入一样的勤奋。关键的课程内容能够多加倍努力，但针对这些对你的总体目标不值一提的课程内容能够懈怠一点。

　　6. Get an early start to each day.

　　一天之计取决于晨

　　Getting an early start each day helped you get a lot more done, not just in the morning but throughout the day.

　　每日早上对你好处许多 ，不仅是早上只是一整天。

　　7. Reclaim wasted time during your classes.

　　灵活运用课堂教学時间

　　Not every class is going to require your utmost concentration. Sometimes teachers babble.  Sometimes they reiterate what you already know. If a class is really challenging, sit in the front and soak up every word.  But if a class isn't challenging you, then sit in the back, do homework for other classes, and pop your head up every once in a while to see if there's anything worth jotting down.

　　并不是每一节课都想要你专心致志。有时候教师仅仅在东扯西拉，有时候仅仅在反复你早已了解的物品。假如这堂课很有趣，那麼坐着前边，用心听每一个字。假如很无聊，那麼坐着后边进行其他课程的课外作业吧。自然，每过一会要仰头听一听是否有什么地方值得记录下来。

　　8. Learn material the very first time it's presented.

　　回绝反复学习培训

　　One of the biggest time wasters in school is having to relearn something you didn't learn properly the first time.  When students say they're studying, most of the time they're making up for a previous failure to learn the material.

　　院校里较大 的一个時间消耗便是持续重学你一直在*一次沒有彻底把握的物品。学员们说她们在学习培训时绝大多数的時间全是在反复之前的不正确。

　　9. Master advanced memory techniques.

　　科学研究记忆力

　　One of the keys to learning material the first time is to train yourself in advanced memory techniques. I don't recommend memorizing by repetition because it's way too slow.

　　学习培训的重要*便是把握科学研究的记忆法。不强烈推荐反复记忆力，由于太沒有高效率了。

　　10. Have some serious fun!

　　Challenge yourself academically, but give yourself plenty of time for fun as well.  Don't squander your leisure time hanging around doing nothing.

　　课业需要勤奋，但还要为自己充裕的游戏娱乐時间。别在碎片时间浑浑噩噩。
