Question

If you ask me for my biggest impression of what America’s like over the last three years，I’d say it is how rich and different the student life is. For example，at Princeton，we have more than 100 student organizations planning all kinds of campus activities－from sports，band dancing to juggling and acting to translation，design，publishing，volunteering and camping. You name it.

During my freshman (大一学生) year, I tried a lot of activities，from dancing to design to newspapers. Then I found my passion（爱好）in the environment and volunteerism. I joined Greening Princeton and Student Volunteer Council. A year later，I’d become the publicity chair and project coordinator(协调员)of these two clubs.

Student activities give us a chance to do things we care about and are good at. If we have a good idea，we can put it forward at a meeting，find interested people to form a team，and then apply for funding from the school. We have full control of the project and the ability to make our ideas happen. For example，I came up with the idea of Daylight Dining and was supported by my club Greening Princeton. I wrote a proposal，presented it in front of the college master，and communicated with the head of Dining Services. After a few follow­ups，this project was carried out.

One other benefit of extra curricular (课外的) activities is the friendship that comes with them. Once you become part of a group，it is much easier to adjust to college life. You realize you are not alone. This will most likely increase your study efficiency and in turn help your academics. My headmaster once told me，“Stand on your tiptoes.” In that way，we not only have a better view of life，but will also put out our comfort zone. Getting involved in extra curricular activities has given me the opportunity to stand on my tiptoes.

Make yourself try new things and stick to the things that matter to you. This is one piece of advice I have. Remember，college is a color palette（调色板）. You are the artist who can add your own colors.
