I am a freshman majoring in tourism management. How can I spend my freshman year more effectively? I always feel that my life is a bit wasted and I can’t find the focus.

In fact, freshman life can be very colorful, it depends on how you grasp it

A significant difference between a university campus and a middle school campus is that the extracurricular life at university is rich and colorful. In addition to daily teaching activities, there are also various lectures, seminars, academic reports, cultural and entertainment activities, club activities, public relations activities, etc. These activities are indeed dazzling for college freshmen, so they often have no idea how to arrange their spare time.

To arrange your spare time reasonably, you must first make a rational analysis of your activities in the near future. Take a look at what goals you want to achieve in the near future, how significant various activities are to your development, etc. Then make the best possible timing and continually revise and develop the execution plan. College freshmen should be good at using their spare time to carry out some useful cultural and recreational activities, such as physical exercise, participating in clubs, etc. They should try their best to cultivate a variety of interests and hobbies, cultivate their tastes, and make their lives full and rich. It is best to have one or more hobbies that you are interested in and good at in college. This will not only help build self-confidence, but also enhance social adaptability.
