It is universally known that friendship is one of the eternal themes in the literature of all languages. This is because human beings were born to need the warmth and laughter of friends. However it is impossible for us to make friends with everybody. We have to choose true friends. Some of us like similar friends, while others different friends. Personally,I prefer both.

It goes Without saying that having similar friends has many advantages, We can feel a sense of strength when we have a group of old friends who would share our sufferings and happiness. Moreover, old friends always know how to maintain mutual trust and how to avoid potential friction. I always feel delighted when I meet an old friend after a long departure. Immediately, hearty laughter fills the atmosphere.

It's about half a year since I entered the college, and I find the way of study in college is different from the study in high school. Next I will share my opinions with you.

It has been half a year since I entered the university, and I found that the way of learning in university is different from that in high school. Now I will share my thoughts with you.

Firstly, we're more or less pushed by our teachers to learn to get a great grade at high school. That's to say, it's not initiative. On the contrary, on the college campus, no one would push us to study, except our-self. What's more, at high school, our teachers explained almost every word and text specific, but our new teachers would not explain as detailed as high school teachers.

First of all, in high school, we were more or less forced by teachers to learn to achieve good results. In other words, they are not proactive. On the contrary, on campus, no one will force us to learn, except ourselves. Moreover, in high school, our teachers almost all explain word for word, but our new teachers do not explain in such detail as high school teachers.

Secondly, at high school, we're only permitted to study science subject or humanities subject, and we would study extremely hard to get more marks which made us stay up. Worse still, in spare time, we never did some sporting and relaxed ourselves so as to not fall behind in the study. However, in college, we're allowed to learn what we're interested in. Besides, when we're free, we always take part in great variety activities which makes us obtain different ability.

Secondly, in high school, as long as we study arts or science, we will work hard to get high scores, and even often stay up late. Moreover, in our spare time, in order not to lag behind in our study, we never do some sports to relax ourselves. However, in college, we can learn what we are interested in. In addition, when we are free, we often participate in various activities that can improve our ability.

Last but not least, in high school, we aim at being admitted to a famous university. But in college, we are not only study but also to establish a relationship with students to get along well with others.

Last but not least, in high school, our goal was to be admitted to famous universities. But in college, we should not only study but also establish friendly relations with students and get along well with others.

To conclude, although our lifestyle has changed a lot, we still need more self-control and self-awareness in college. We can't only focus our energy on computer games; we should not kill the time. Instead, we had better take advantages of the time to obtain the ability to confront the challenge. Only so, we will become more competitive and we can have a bright future.

Finally, although our lifestyle has changed a lot, we need more self-control and self-consciousness in college. We can't just concentrate on computer games; We shouldn't kill time. On the contrary, we'd better make good use of our time to acquire the ability to face challenges. Only in this way can we become more competitive and have a bright future.
