A-Trans-1 < Back Reading A 上大学有些事情是你从未处理过的：独立生活、与室友相处、自己动手洗衣服等等。但只要稍做准备，你就可以树立足够的信心去面对任何压力。

A-Trans-2 < Back Reading A 对一年级学生而言，独立生活往往最难适应。从小到大，你一直很清楚在家扮演的角色。但无论你在家成功地扮演过什么角色，离家后你不一定能找到适合自己的舞台。似乎你不在家时家里一切也还好，而你却会为这些改变感到伤心。

A-Trans-3 < Back Reading A 在开学后的几周至数月里，你可能还会想家。首先你应该明白，有这种情绪是很普遍、很正常的。其实几乎每个人一生中都会或多或少经历过这种思念。但即使这样想，你也许仍会感到孤独或受到冷落。

A-Trans-4 < Back Reading A 有些学生会因此借抽烟喝酒、频繁聚会、整日昏睡来消愁。但过多的聚会只会给你带来更多的麻烦，使你不能按时完成作业、论文或准备考试，这样一来，事情会变得更糟。

A-Trans-5 < Back Reading A 尽量弄清楚你的感受和焦虑，并找人倾诉。越早这样做，你的心情会好得越快。要是想家，打个电话，写封信，或是发个电子邮件给你的父母、家庭其他成员和朋友，让他们知道你过得怎么样，告诉他们你想念他们，这些都会对你有所帮助。

A-Trans-6 < Back Reading A 你还可以向谁诉说呢？首先，同室的室友就是最好的对象。室友本应是很好的伙伴。同样是新生，他们也许有着相同的焦虑与烦恼。

A-Trans-7 < Back Reading A 可一旦与室友相处不好，你又该怎么办呢？

A-Trans-8 < Back Reading A 室友也许与你差别很大，就如同食堂里叫不出名字的肉与妈妈做的炖肉味道完全不同一样。某些时候，这倒是件好事。相异有时相吸。不同的视角也许正是你所需要的。但如果真的合不来，也不必生气，毕竟还得共度大学时光，所以要尽量去尊重你们之间的差异。

A-Trans-9 < Back Reading A 找一个你确实感觉能理解你的人会有益处。校园里同龄人很多，找到一个与你谈得来的人并不困难。如果等不及，你就去学校心理咨询中心。所有大学都设有心理咨询中心，那里的顾问对新生的这些焦虑十分了解。
