How do American college students manage their time?
1. Make sure to learn something new every day.

This "new thing" doesn't have to be related to the course. It can be reading books, watching movies, watching variety shows, watching plays and so on. It can be a new dish, a new drink, which can make you keep thinking and won't make you feel that life has passed, but you seem to have done nothing and then fell into deep regret and chagrin. Learn something new every day and make continuous progress!

2. Become the project leader

You can actively participate in innovative projects in some schools, form teams with foreigners, write plans, discuss user needs and so on. In this process, if you are a leader, you will definitely keep talking. Don't panic. Anyway, you are the leader, and you assign tasks to control the direction. Foreigners are more anxious when they can't understand what you are saying. But please be a reliable person and don't cheat your teammates.

3. Actively participate in clubs and business competitions.

People with the same hobbies are more likely to have the same language, communicate more easily and improve their language ability. Combining the learned knowledge with practice in time will be more conducive to deepening the understanding of knowledge and stimulating some different professional interests. In addition, the school will organize activities from time to time, such as Thanksgiving, which can help you better understand different cultures and festivals to limit food. Try to get out of your comfort zone. If you feel that you have no friends, try to get out of the room and make more new friends.

4. Be brave in expressing

Many times, if you don't express yourself, no one can help you. For example, once there was an online meeting in the library, and all the discussion rooms were occupied, I crustily skin of head and negotiated with a foreign brother whether I could have that room. He said, of course, he can finish his work now and let me know when he is ready to go to my seat. It's very nice, don't worry, communicate if you have any questions.

5. Ensure regular work and rest

You don't have to go to bed early and get up early. It is most appropriate to find a rhythm that suits you. If your study efficiency will be higher at night, and your paper will be inspired only in the dead of night, then you should also keep "regularity" in the process of your paper. For example, some people go to bed at five in the morning and get up at one in the afternoon. Regular work and rest can not only ensure good health, but also make you feel confused every day.

6. Keep exercising three times a week.

Whether you are lying down or sitting for a long time, you will feel uncomfortable and have a backache. You don't have to go to the gym to press iron to exercise. When the weather is fine, you can go for a walk near the school or apartment, or just jump a few groups of HITT in the apartment to sweat. Good health is the foundation of a good mood!

7. Make sure you have time to clear your music every day.

You can take a shower or be in a daze. Bring a small Bluetooth stereo and give yourself some music every day. Good melody is very helpful for us to relax. If you have the habit of writing, you can also write essays at this time to record your daily life and mood, which is also a good way of expression.

8. Concentrate on your studies and find your own interests.

Although sometimes the academic pressure will be great, it is very rewarding and fulfilling when you devote yourself to your study and pay in direct proportion to your return. In particular, American universities can change their majors and explore their interests in different majors. This process is quite interesting. It is also suggested that undergraduates minor in a major to increase their competitiveness. At the same time, it will also be helpful to apply for research and find a job, or they can run more office hours and do more tutoring when they are free.

9. Properly motivate yourself

You can arrange a small trip for yourself during the holiday. If you have a big budget, you can go farther and see the unused scenery in other countries. If you have a small budget, you can relax with your classmates around you, or even go to the school lawn to bask in the sun and chat with friends. It is also very happy. You can also ensure that you eat at least one good meal every day. Good food can cure your mood. You can take time to cook yourself an exquisite meal every day, mix vegetarian dishes and have a drink to start a beautiful day. If it's a treasure that doesn't like cooking, at least order yourself a delicious takeaway every day. Arranging a small reward for yourself is a good incentive process.

10. Keep in touch with family and friends in time.

Emo, don't hold it all the time. If you miss your family and friends, call them and have a chat. Emo is something that everyone will experience. It is normal. Don't feel guilty. It is impossible to be happy for 24 hours out of 365 days! You can't buy a plane ticket during the epidemic. I called my mother when I was most sad. Even on the phone, I feel accompanied. She also contacted her classmates who lived upstairs to accompany me. It feels like breaking up. Try not to be alone. It would be much better to talk to someone. Moreover, there are free psychologists in the school. Don't be afraid. You don't have to have any mental illness to see a psychiatrist. It's more like chatting with friends. Don't worry about poor English. Speak slowly, just express your thoughts clearly. Make good use of school resources, such as English corner, to communicate with people and make friends.

The most important lesson in life is to learn to be alone. Being alone in a foreign land again and again, emo inadvertently forced us to speed up the study of this course. It is also a lucky thing to think that you can learn the most important lesson in life in your early twenties! In a word, every experience of emo makes us better, and we must go forward no matter what we encounter.
