On College Students' Freedom
Compared with high school students, college students enjoy much more freedom.
They get a lot of time at their own disposal, they have diverse courses to
choose from, and they can also make decisions on their daily affairs.
If the students can make good use of this freedom, they may benefit a lot in
many aspects. For students who have particular interest in some subjects, they
may pursue further study in those fields. For students who are keen in social
work, they can join various organizations or associations to develop and display
their abilities. And for students who want to support themselves, they may take
some part-time jobs to make money.
On the other hand, excessive freedom can also have negative influence on
college students. Faced with so much free time and so many choices, some
students may get puzzled. Some of them may feel overwhelmed or aimless due to
too many courses they register for or various activities they get involved in.
Moreover, some students even get lost in the face of too much liberty.
Eventually, they will be spoiled and lose their self-control. As a result, they
may become addicted to computer games or idle away their precious time in
various meaningless entertainments.
As a college student, I think two things may help us take full advantage of
freedom. First, we must set up clear goals for life and study, and learn to
prioritize things. Second, we should realize that freedom means responsibility.
We have to be rational in every single decision that we make. In this way
freedom can make our college life more colorful and more meaningful.
