By now, freshmen have thrown open the door to their coveted college life.However, some may have been disappointed and ask themselves questions like: should I stick to my original major? Should I keep working on campus activities alone or can I widen my horizons and reach further?

These questions will remain throughout a student‟s four-year campus life.But by seeking answers as early as possible, students can enjoy a more organized college life.Xu Jingxi interviews upperclassmen, counselors and experts to offer you tips on making a wise choice.Change in major

According to a recent survey by MyCOS and Tencent on the 2014 Class college freshmen, 54.1 percent of the 4,891 respondents are dissatisfied with their majors.Fortunately, many universities allow students to apply to change their majors in the second semester of the freshman year.However, the quota is limited and many universities set high requirements in terms of the applicant‟s academic performance in their original major.Hu Tingzhou, 20, a freshman at Zhejiang University of Finance and

Economics was told that he needed to have a grade point average(GPA)of at least 3.5 in his original major in order to apply for a new major.“It‟s self-contradictory.It‟s hard for a person to score that highly if he is not interested and confident in that major,” said Hu.Fortunately, Hu successfully changed his major from credit management to finance.But it was definitely not an easy option.He needs to start from the beginning – make new friends and get accustomed to a new set of professors.Ma Xiaolu, a counselor at Beijing Foreign Studies University, suggests another option for those dissatisfied with their majors – pursuing a second major.However, Ma suggests that the key to success is persistence, no matter what major you are studying.“Be prepared to take classes at weekends, sit more exams, and write one more thesis paper,” said Ma.“If you fail to get the diploma for the second major, you may need to come back for exams and papers – even after graduation.Part-time jobs

A part-time job is often the first step college students take when they reach out to the “real world”.However, they face a dilemma in terms of which job to choose.Should they opt for a well paid but time-consuming position, or a job that fits in with both their study time and choice of major?

Lu Miaomiao, 22, a junior in accounting at Wenjing College, Yantai University, suggested the latter.She has taken many part-time jobs: private tutor for kids, newspaper sales, marketing training courses, and handing out leaflets.None of these jobs looks as glamorous and profitable as modeling, which some of her classmates do.“They even skip classes to take the well-paid part-time jobs,” said Lu.“But I don‟t think it‟s worthwhile.Money is not my top priority when I work part-time.”

Lu feels that personal development is much more valuable for her.Being naturally shy, she used to stammer when speaking to strangers, so she took jobs which all required good communication skills.Ma suggested that students apply for schools‟ work-study programs.“The school will help arrange your work schedule to ensure you don‟t need to sacrifice your study time,” explained Ma.Lu also feels that work-study programs is a much more reliable source of work than job websites or job agencies.Campus clubs

Campus clubs usually elect leaders from among freshman members in the second semester.But, are you sure you want to aim for such a position? Being a club leader can hone the skills related to your future career.Yet it may shatter your balance between work and study.Zhu Liwei, 24, was the president of the student union when he studied at South China Agricultural University.He had to put aside his textbooks often in order to meet with his colleagues.Some freshmen put up with the workload in order to enhance their future CVs, but this is not necessary, according to Ma.“A better choice is to look for internships, which look more attractive to

employers.After all, working in a campus club is very different to experiencing a real workplace,” said Ma.English study

If the ultimate goal of your English study is the College English Test(CET)certificate, you may be counting the days until you can kiss the language goodbye.However, smart senior alumni said that a CET certificate is not the end, but a new beginning, to fun English learning.Liu Zheng, 24, a junior in clinical medicine at North China Coal Medical University, improved her listening and spoken English by watching US TV dramas.“You could see it as a „leisure activity‟ spicing up your daily study schedule,” she said.Zhao Jiankun, CET and TEM(Test for English Major)project manager at Beijing New Oriental School, proved that continuing to study English can enhance your future career development.Zhao graduated from college with a major in Chinese and worked in a real estate company in Beijing.Thanks to the high standard of English he attained during his college years, Zhao got more opportunities than his colleagues.For instance, He acted as the interpreter for his boss when the company hired a US designer.He was also invited to accompany his boss on trips to international meetings.Language tips

English study tips from Zhao Jiankun, CET and TEM project manager at Beijing New Oriental School.Listening: Find materials at the websites of China Daily, CRI and 21st Century.Refer to the script while listening to the materials.Speaking: Read aloud after listening to your CET course materials.There are less background sound effects than in movies, and the contents are more closely related to your daily life.Reading, writing and translating: Use bilingual texts.Many English news articles have Chinese versions online.Find out the differences in sentence structure and choice of words.Interviews by Xu Jingxi

I am honored to be here to give a speech about my career choice.It is very likely that our primary school teacher have asked all of us the same question:”Can you tell me what you are going to be when you grow up?” The question must have left a indelible impression in our mind, and althongh we may be too young to think about it, all of us considered carefully to find out the awnser, which mostly will be occupations such as scientists, doctors and teachers etc.When it comes to me, the only voice I heared from my heart is being an engineer, which is almost a dream during my childhood.When I was a child, the reason for making engineer when I grow up is very simple, which is my interest in playing with all sort of things.Believe it or not, all of my toys are disassembled without expectation.I was just intended to figure out what is inside the toys or in a word, their structure.Once I took a telecontroller apart, I was amazed by the precise components in it.While restoring it, I decided to study and invent technological products in the future and become an engineer.As time went on, I have gradually understand the world better, which have strenthened my original thought.Up to now, I have sudied from primary school to college for approximately thirteen years.During that period of time I have acquired large quantities of knowledge of physical science, which is the basic knowledge one should master to gain the ability of being an engineer.Besides the knowledge, what I have also learnt in school is the value this occupation can create for the society.For instance, if I were a mechanical engineer, I would produce a number of functional machines to make people’s work and study more efficient.In conclusion, I choose engineering as my future career on account of not only my own interest in it, but also its capability of creating great value for human beings.But to be qualified, I still have a long way to go.So under no circumstances should I get slack at my current study, which means diligence is the only way to achieve my goal.

As we know, after one year most of us will graduate and have to find a job.But when it comes to career choice, there are hundreds of career out there,should we choose our career for high salary? For the expectation of our families? Or justfollow the fashion?

No.The choice of career is also choice of life,and I think personal interests, personal ability, the values and demands of the society will be most important when choosing a job.With so many career options available for us.We first have to learn about our inner personality.It is our interests, characters that determine who we will be.We all have certain personality, which will make some careers especially suitable for us and some inappropriate.If we even don't know what we want to do,how can we make the right choice? Secondly，we need to have a good knowledge of our abilities and choose what we are good at.Every profession needs people who have mastered certain skills and possessed certain qualifications.But no one can master everything.In order to make full use of our abilities，we must clearly know what we are good at.So from now on,we have to think carefully about ourstrengths and weaknesses, and choose a profession that won't conflict with our strengths.And I think a wise choice of career consists in the combination of the social and personal values.We choose a job not just for the salary but also for the respect from society and the social welfare.In order to get both of them, we need to know what society demands from us，and choose the job which meets the social values and social demands.Finally I wish every one of you can find a good job and live a brilliant life.

科学工作者实事求是的态度等，都是在职业动中和适应中要求而形成的。甚至不同的工种对性格的形成也有较大影响，石油工人的豪放、粗犷；精密仪器修理工的细致、精确；高空作业工人的大胆、勇敢，都是由于在实践中的特定身份，为了适应环境反复锻炼的结果。总之，要根据自己的性格选择职业，才能使自己的行为方式与职业工作相吻合，才能更好地发挥自己的性格特长，但我们也不能忽视职业要求对性格特征的影响作用。人们的性格可以用颜色区分的，甚至可以用唐僧西天取经时师徒四人的性格来描述人们的性格。那么我们来看看色彩与性格是怎样的结合的，唐僧师徒四人的性格又与色彩又有什么关系呢？

红色性格：代表人物孙悟空

红色是一种鲜明的颜色，它所代表的性格特点是：勇敢、果断、爱憎分明、敢于冒险、不屈不挠。红色性格又有它的不足：刚愎自用、人际关系欠柔和、冲动等，这些词汇很好地呈现了一个性格鲜明的孙悟空的性格。红色性格适合的职业：军人、警察、新闻记者、律师、营销人员、冒险家等。不适合的职业：办公室主任、秘书、司机、客户服务人员等。红色性格人群在心理健康方面要注意的是：由于拥有红色性格的人们容易成为工作狂，常常会得心脏病，不注意劳逸结合有可能出现过劳死的现象。再有红色性格的人容易刚愎自用，自恋狂妄、嫉妒他人。又由于红色性格的人急躁、缺乏耐性，而会有焦虑症状、易激

黄色性格：代表人物猪八戒

黄色是一种明亮的颜色，它所代表的性格特点是：活泼开朗、喜欢表达自己、崇尚浪漫、与人为善等。黄色性格的不足是：做事虎头蛇尾、为人热情过头稳重不足、粗糙且细致不足等。这些词汇也同样是一个活脱脱的猪八戒的性格特点。黄色性格适合的职业：作家、艺术家、公关人员、教师、导游等。不适合的职业：电脑编程人员、保管员、策划人员、1

会计等。黄色性格人群在心理健康方面要注意的是：黄色性格的人们由于缺乏冷静而出现焦虑症状，其情绪不稳定而容易心理脆弱和神经衰弱。上面表述的两种颜色基本是外向型

格的写照，接着我们再说说内向性格。

蓝色性格：代表人物唐僧

蓝色是一种沉稳的颜色，它所代表的性格特点是内敛深沉、谦虚谨慎、善始善终、严格自律、善解人意等。蓝色性格的不足是：刻板、缺乏灵活性、较真、过于追求完美等。这些词汇是一个执卓于取经不畏艰难的唐僧性格的真实写照。蓝色性格适合的职业：参谋长、心理学家、秘书、哲学家、神学家等。不适合的职业：攻关接待、工会主席、节目主持人等。蓝色性格人群在心理健康方面要注意的是：由于过于追求完美而会产生容易自责进而否定自己，产生不自信和自卑。再有做事和为人刻板容易小心眼、钻牛角尖，从而响

睡眠等，容易出现抑郁症症状。

绿色性格：代表人物沙和尚

绿色是一种平和的颜色，它所代表的性格特点是：情绪平稳、为人随和、工作认真负责、宽厚待人等。绿色性格的不足是：缺乏主见、容易被忽略、随遇而安、不思进取、自我封闭等。也是对沙和尚的恰当表述。绿色性格适合的职业：保管员、护理人员、摄影家、保密工作人员、雕刻人员、打字员等。不适合的职业：公关人员、推销员、接待员等。绿色性格人群在心理健康方面要注意的是：由于他们自我封闭而会成为自闭症，有自杀倾向等。由于对新生事物的麻木和不接受也容易出现焦虑症症状等。其实在人们的性格中不完全是“纯色的”，每个人的性格中都有着混合色，都是以一种颜色为主，而又会有另外一种、两种或三种的混合，人们的性格就像人们的生活般多色多彩，没有好与坏之分，而只有扬长

避短的发挥更好的它们才是目的，好的发挥让我们的心情更好、感觉更幸福。
