章節(jié)摘錄

　　Survival in the real world　　These skills are not necessarily inborn. Matt Sinclair, finance vice-president of the Students Administrative Council, pointed out the first year as a critical time for students to blend into what he referred to as "the melting pot" of the colleges community.　　"The first year on campus is always absolutely critical. If it clicks, the second and the third year click as well. This does not happen to everyone. You see that all the time. In fact, I was like that the first year I was here. I came to school for my classes, then I went home. I didnt participate in any of the events at the college. I didnt do anything. That first year was just miserable. That was because of my attitude, which was, leave me alone, I just want to focus on my studies," said Sinclair.　　While Sinclair understands a new students need to take stock of （鑒定） "the lay of the land", so to speak, he recommends the student not take too long doing that. The key to having fun on campus, he said, lies in a student having an open mind and a willing attitude.　　The only regret in life: risks that you dont take　　"If you dont take the chance and reach out to others, then youll never know what you are missing out on. I dont want to look back years later at my time at the college with regrets and thinking, I wish I had done that in college," said Sinclair.　　Many students come to him on a daily basis. Among all the issues they bring, stress management appears on the top, he said. He takes note of the fact that many students are away from their homes and familiar network of support and can fall victim to severe depression and stress.
