20几岁是人生最艰难的时光1.You’llprobablybelivingwithyourparentsformostofit.你可能大多时间还是和父母住在一起Thisisactuallyasmartthingtodobecause,unlessyoucomefromaloadedfamily,youwon’treallyhavethefundstogooutandbuyyourownplacestraightoutofcollege.Imean,youcouldbeoneoftheluckyonestogetanawesomesalariedpositionstraightoutofyoursenioryear,butmostofusaren’tthatlucky.这样的做法其实很明智,因为除非你家里有钱,否则刚毕业的你真没有足够的钱去买房。当然,你也可能是那个毕业之后就有份好工作的幸运儿,但我们许多人都没有那么好运。2.Yourparentswillgetonyournerves.你的父母可能会烦你Yeah,yourlivingsituationincollegemightnothavebeenamazing,whatwithweirdroommates,loudmusicemanatingfromeverywheredayandnight,andthesmellofacertaingreensubstancewaftingthroughtheairatallhours.Butstill,itbeatsgettingnaggedonbyyourparentseverydayforonethingoranother.Ifyou’reincollegerightnow,enjoytheride.住校的生活可能并不好过,有奇怪的舍友、日夜吵闹的音乐、绿色植物的气味充斥着你的房间。但是,即使这些也没有父母每天种种的唠叨烦人。如果你现在还住在学校,那就好好享受学校生活。3.You’llhavemorefreedomthanyoucanhandle.自由太多,你不一定能掌控好BythisImeanthatyourlifeisnolongerstructured.After21to22yearsoflifeinthesystem,breakingoutofitandhavingfreereignoverwhatyoudoandwhereyougonextcanbeintimidating.这点我想说的是,你的生活已经不再是像前面21或22年那样组织化的。不过,一旦冲破缰绳不再有束缚,你想做什么、想去哪儿都随心所欲的话,这也是很吓人的。4.Yourcollegeaccomplishmentsmeanlittle.你的大学成绩已不那么重要Idon’tmeaninthesensethatyourdegreeisworthless,onlythatemployersandpeoplearoundyoudon’treallycareaboutallofthehardworkyoudidincollege.Youcouldhavebeenanamazingstudent,andprofessorsmighthavelovedyou,butintherealworldyou’rebasicallybacktosquareoneintermsofhavingtoimpressawholenewsetofpeople.我不是想说你的学历一点也不重要,只是你的老板,你身边的人并不在乎你在大学的成绩。可能你原来是个优等生,老师很宠爱你,但现在你得从头再来,让别人对你有个全新的认识。5.It'shardtomakefriends.很难交到朋友MaybethisisjustmesinceI’manintrovert,butithasbeentoughmakingfriendsaftercollege.Younolongerhaveeasyaccesstoawealthofpeoplearoundyoursameage,andallofyourhighschoolandcollegefriendsarescatteredlikedustinthewind.I’msureitgetseasierlater,butwhenyou’refirststartingoutit’sabitofapainfulprocess.也许可能只是我内向的关系,但大学毕业之后交朋友真的有些困难。很难有机会和你差不多大的人做朋友,高中同学、大学同学也像风中之沙一样分散而去。我相信以后也会变得比较容易,但最初的时候还是会很困难。
