《A wild and unruly young seedling growing towards the sun》
Name: Lan Jingwen
University: Tianjin University
As an upcoming sophomore student, looking back on the past year, the excitement, confusion, and confusion that just entered university have become my nourishment, nourishing my growth towards the sun. I have always been wild and unruly, unwilling to be under the influence of others, but over the past year, under the shadow of excellent peers, I gradually understand that I am not the peak of Xiulin, and countless rainstorm and snows want to defeat me and train me.
In my freshman year, I was a young white person who was full of expectations for college life and wanted to make good friends from all over the world. But at that time, universities under the epidemic were under closed management, and the idea of traveling around was impossible to achieve. At that time, I was thinking, wouldn't it still be possible to make good friends and play at school? So, I worked hard to change my personality, like a little sun, catching and taking photos of everyone, and gradually forgetting what my original personality was. Although I have made many friends and there are many messages on WeChat that I cannot reply to, I still feel that there is something wrong. At the end of the day, when I am exhausted, not only physically but also mentally, I realize that I have lost myself and become less like myself.
After discovering this problem, I began to become exhausted and felt very useless. After a period of depression, I also understood that it was not possible to continue like this, so I still made new friends like before, but there were also differences. I would no longer make friends for the sake of friends, and I would keep my original personality - a quiet and independent personality. Gradually, my life returned to normalcy, without feeling overwhelmed and exhausted like before. Although it took me a long time to recover from that state, I found that there was a change in my heart. The small seedling would not seek to climb due to the social habitation of other plants, but would learn to live alone, welcoming the unknown alone, silently growing towards the sun. This is a change in my personality and spirit.
In addition, I have noticed a drastic change in my attitude and methods in my studies. When I first entered university, I aspired to study hard and remember everything in my notebook, including what the teacher said and what I remembered. But later on, the problem gradually became apparent, and I found that I was unable to handle it. The attention to detail in high school was no longer effective in college. I also tried to write it down in a book in a different way. But it also leads to densely packed books, scattered and chaotic knowledge points, and low efficiency at all. Finally, I had to spend more time on online classes to make up for my doubts and shortcomings in class. Finally, I was also annoyed. After class, I only marked the lines on the book and stopped trying to take notes. I only listened to the knowledge points mentioned by the teacher and simply marked them, without writing them in detail. Later on, I was surprised to find that the efficiency had increased several times compared to the original one. At first, I felt speechless.
However, since I found that the efficiency had improved, I tried again and again, and the final result was still good. Looking back, I realized that in college, what was emphasized was the understanding and application of knowledge points. The era of high school where everything had to be remembered has passed, and now the emphasis is on precision and accuracy, not face to face. After understanding this principle, I gradually mastered the methods of studying in university and adapted to my life and studies in university. After experiencing the cold wind and scorching flames, the young seedling growing towards the sun in my heart became fearless and rebellious in the face of danger!
This is the growth of that young seedling, and it is also my mirror.
