Find your own busy rhythm
The two years of postgraduate study at the University of International w88 and Economics are actually very short. The scene on the day I first entered the w88 casino seemed to have happened not long ago, and I was about to graduate in the blink of an eye. If you make full and efficient use of these two years, you will gain a lot. My plan is very simple. I will focus on courses and competitions in the first year of graduate w88 casino, and focus on internships and job hunting in the second year of graduate w88 casino. The first year of graduate w88 casino was a very fulfilling year for me. I was lucky enough to join the JHJ competition team when I entered w88 casino in September. From September to July of next year, from the Asia-Pacific competition to the global competition, I experienced a high-intensity preparation process with a group of outstanding student coaches and teammates. From the beginning, I knew very little about WTO laws, to gradually adapting to the rhythm of the model competition, and the thinking and methods I learned from it will benefit me for life. In this process, we need to constantly look for countless small details that can be improved and refine every point that can be argued. This kind of training of repeated deliberation and refinement in logic and expression greatly exercises legal thinking. I also really feel the improvement brought by the model court. Therefore, it is recommended that law students can participate in more training in this type of model if they have the opportunity and time.
I often felt like a spinning top during the entire graduate w88 casino period, spinning around in classes, mock exams, exams, papers, seminars, interviews, internships... I would also stay up late at night and hit deadlines from time to time (I would even fantasize about whether my job could be... 3+1 model, that is, every three years of working can lead to one year of gap haha~) But for me personally, compared to many people who hate a busy life, I am more afraid of the feeling of having nothing to do, so it is necessary to exercise my ability to work in multiple threads. This is also a cliché. In the process of being forced to move forward by various things, I gradually discovered that I have areas where I can improve in terms of arranging my time properly, focusing on work, and solving problems. I strive to find a busy but self-consistent state. This process of "self-growth" will give me a greater sense of accomplishment.
Be prepared to accept some variables
The past two years of graduate w88 casino have always been accompanied by many emergencies. During the entire postgraduate period, various buffs were piled up, such as w88 casino closures, "staying at home", transfers... I remember that there was a time when my home community was closed and I had to miss some internship opportunities that I wanted, and I felt very helpless. However, these are all uncontrollable factors. The job market is like this. It changes turbulently. Occasionally, you will encounter good luck. Sometimes you have to lower your expectations appropriately and allow bad things to happen. All we can do is strive for every opportunity. In the later period, I gradually calmed down and accepted some variables. Going to graduate w88 casino is undoubtedly a turning point. Even if you are studying law, you will face many different tracks when you graduate. My partner lawyer during my internship told me that only about 1/3 of his classmates are still engaged in legal work. So there is no best, only what suits you best.
Students can try to enrich their internship experience as much as possible during w88 casino. Especially when the competition for job hunting becomes increasingly fierce, the ideal state is to form a certain "focus" on internship experience, aim at a job search goal, and "connect" relevant experiences as much as possible to make the resume more complete and "beautiful." But in fact, like many people, I did not have a single definite goal when I first applied for a job. In this case, the internship is not only to enrich my resume, but also a process of pursuit and exploration. Only after experiencing it can I know which track is suitable for me. I happen to be an "experientialist" player. In my second year as a graduate student, I had internship experience in law firms, large factories, and state-owned enterprises. Only after personal experience did I truly understand the nuances of working in different industries and environments, and know what I want. I also like to read various experience posts from my seniors, but often "practice brings true knowledge." In short, job hunting is a very realistic process. We will face many choices. Everyone has different ideas and goals. When choosing, you must weigh the pros and cons, pay attention to the gains and losses when choosing, and keep an eye on the scenery!
Life is about acting out your own script
I really like what Teacher Luo Xiang said. The general meaning is, "No one has set his own script. People can only act their own script well. In the face of setbacks, one option is to give up acting, and the other option is to put everything into play." "Accordingly, no one is set with exactly the same parameter values in their environment. A little difference in experience is likely to produce hugely different results due to the butterfly effect. Especially in the past few years of the epidemic, this feeling has been magnified. I rarely compare myself to others, which relieves a lot of the internal friction caused by "peer pressure." Results and rankings are only superficial quantification methods. Everyone has their own potential ability points or even "superpowers". For example, someone who is particularly good at writing materials is a "superpower", and someone who is particularly good at staying up late is also a "superpower"... Therefore, I always believe that people only need to compare themselves vertically, find ways to explore and develop their own strengths, and make up for their own shortcomings. They will grow much faster and more directly than horizontal comparisons with others.
I have always had this belief that as long as I do everything carefully, the results will come naturally. But actually I have also had some moments of confusion and anxiety. If I had not answered that question that way, would the result of the interview have been different? If I had chosen another internship offer, would the road ahead have been easier? If I had read the question twice more, would I not have missed that point in the exam... These thoughts and emotions are all It is inevitable that I cannot always maintain a natural and stable mood, and sometimes I need a certain amount of stress relief. For example, I was anxious for a period of time and would become addicted to eating potato chips at the Hongyuan self-service machine in the middle of the night for a week or two. After being frustrated in an interview, I decided to buy a ticket on the spot and go to Tibet for half a month. I am personally very playful and like to go on the go. The way to relieve stress is to eat and play. I feel that the experience of playing some things when I am older cannot compare with the feelings I experienced when I was young, so I should play as much as I can when I am young. "Playing" is also a serious matter to me. I had plenty of time during my four years as an undergraduate. I would travel everywhere. During my postgraduate period, although I lost a lot of free time, I still had a good experience studying in Beijing. I visited many museums, parks, other university campuses, etc. with my friends. All of the above constitute wonderful memories of my graduate student life!
Graduation message
I wish everyone’s wishes will come true, and the good wind will send you to the blue sky with its power!
