Millions of college students will be released from their college careers and into the Real World (not the TV show, thankfully). It’s such a promising time. Here are 9 ways to make the most of it.
数以百万的毕业生即将结束他们的大学生涯，步入“现实世界”(注意下，这里可不是为“现实世界”做电视宣传)。这是一个开启希望之途的时刻。这次，送上9种充分利用这一特殊时刻的诀窍。
1. Think Beyond Work.想想工作以外的事
Your career might be your main focus as you leave college, but remember that work isn’t everything either (and you don’t want to burn out). Go see the world, even on a budget or for free. Go on dates. Keep up your own creative side projects. Challenge yourself to see the world in new ways. (Yes, take the commencement speech to heart.) Life is like a video game, so spend your time and energy in the most important areas.
你的工作或许会成为你毕业后的主要关注焦点，但是请记住，工作并不是一切(而且你也不想把自己弄得筋疲力尽)。有时间出去看看外面的世界，穷游或者免费的游览都可以。去约会，继续你的创意项目，改变你的视角，从新的角度看世界。(是的，用心记住毕业演讲。)生活就像是一场电子游戏，所以你得把你的时间和精力都花在最重要的地方。
2. Prepare for Your First Job为第一份工作做好准备
You might have held jobs in college, but once you’ve got your diploma in hand, it’s time to completely dive into the work you want to do. Learn how to ace your job interview and create a great resume. Even though you might not have a ton of relevant work experience to put on the resume, you can still beef up your resume by adding personal projects on it. Once you land the job, learn the basics of navigating your first job: stay organized and never miss your deadlines, pay attention to the company culture, and more. Don’t get too wooed by your employer, however—remember that the company you work for is not your friend.
你或许在大学时就做过一些工作，但是一旦你获得了文凭，你就完全可以全身心投入到你想要做的工作当中。学习如何在面试中脱颖而出，如何制作好一份简历。即时你的简历上相关的工作经验，但你依旧可以添加一些个人项目来充实你的简历。一旦你得到了这份工作，要记住一些基本要求：有条不紊地开展工作，绝不错过最后期限，注意企业文化等等。别太在老板面前抢风头，但是请记住——你工作的公司，它不是你的朋友。
