Recently, a problem has been brought into focus when some of my friends sitting around and talking about our lives. It is no exaggeration to say that all my friends, graduated from other schools and now studying in Tsinghua University, have lost their excitement, and I was no exception. We kept on asking ourselves the same question: “Is it really a good place for me to study?” When I got the enrollment notice from Tsinghua University with people’s praise and admiration , I began to expect the fresh, new life — learning the spot-lights and pretty manner from famous professors, experiencing the academic atmosphere which is particular to itself, joining in lots of students societies to enrich my life…. In a word, the life of a graduate student in Tsinghua University should be pursuing my goals ambitiously and happily. But why lots of us feel so unhappy, depressed and gloomy? All of my these friends trapped in this kind of position have one thing in common with me, that is we all come from other schools. Being educated in different universities for four year has made us form a different study habitant and knowledge structure. They have well suited to the way of teaching in English; they know how to solve their problems in an efficient way; they have used to handle various kinds of things simultaneously, they are more confident and sometimes a little over aggressive…. In addition, the professors seem to be partial to their own students, think that the native students have more knowledge about the subjects, believe that they are more intelligent and capable. In brief, they have more advantage both in study and work. As the above reasons, I spend the past two month very ignorant and humble. I forced myself to catch up with others by staying up every night, learning inadequate knowledge, dealing with the difficult homework, tutors’ projects and work of Graduate Propaganda Department of Communist Youth League, etc. The worst is that I have stood still and made no progress so far. During these two months, a self-doubt and self-hatred period, I have been torn and complained to my friends, sulk, disillusioned, sometimes burying my head in the sand. I kept on thinking that I would live a happier life if I stayed in Southeast University. I always think Tsinghua like a brother, handsome, solid and reliable. The study in Tsinghua is not only limited in books, but also the atmosphere of superior, especially for a graduate student. So I don't want this situation to affect my personal life and my dream of living an enjoyable and good-quality life. What should I do? Actually, I know that these emotions are related to mental attitude. I talked to my friends who have the same problem, and we decided to change our situation by adjust our attitude. Asking ourselves what we really want and how far can we go if we exert ourselves, and tell ourselves to face the reality and stop being an ostrich. Maybe this is the only effective way to make us not so depressed.
