成長與蛻變，是我在邁入大學一個月，又或者可以說三週就體會到的事。相信每個學生在高中階段都會有個大學夢，恨不得快點逃離家裡，越遠越好，以前的我也是如此。而上了大學才會發現，現實並不是這麼美好，真希望當時有更珍惜在高中和在家裡的時光。
我目前就讀輔仁大學新聞傳播學系，很開心高中時期我對於科系的探索、各種考試的嚴謹態度，讓我能如願考上自己所愛的校系。然而，環境的變動、生活模式的改變，經常使我懷念過去三年只要在學校按部就班生活的日子。上了大學，課程雖然不再是每天早上八點到下午五點多，但我卻明顯地感受到比高中生活更加疲憊。班級人數是高中的兩倍多，這意謂著我必須面對更多來自四面八方、不同生活背景的人，而像高中那種單純卻真摯的友誼也顯得更加可貴。所以，學弟妹們更應該珍惜現在身邊的每一位同學！另外，大學的分組報告量也在開學僅僅一週就讓我感到驚訝，在還沒完全認識班上的每個人，居然就要一起做報告了？這更訓練了我們的團隊合作、適應力以及包容性。
生活上，比起高中只需要等待每天營養午餐到來，回家就可以有美味晚餐的日子，大學後的生活更需要獨立自主。三餐都需要自己想辦法在人擠人的學餐裡找到划算的食物，回到宿舍環境不像家裡一樣舒服，換洗衣物都得自己清洗，有時候還會大排長龍。
課業上，不再有人監督。課表也不再是等學校直接公佈，而是在暑假要隨時注意通知，上網搜尋老師評價、課程內容，再搶課。有些學長姐沒有搶到課，還需要寄信或者是直接去上課教室請求教授開放加簽。而每個教授的評分方式也都不同，所以上課抑或是做報告的時候都必須更加謹慎。大學課程內容也相對專業，教授總能讓我們以與普遍大眾不一樣的觀點思考。比起過往單純接收資訊，需要獨立思考的時間更多了！
雖然在許多方面都讓我深刻感受到踏上新的求學旅程的壓力和責任。但正因為我選擇了自己所愛的科系，使我在面對這些變化的時候，更能告訴自己我是為了夢想，所以必須面對這些新的挑戰，這是在鍛鍊我自己！十分感謝自己的選擇以及家長的支持和高中各位師長的照顧，讓我能從容地面對新的環境、新的生活。
From High School to University: My Growth and Reflections
By attending university for three weeks, I experienced significant growth and transformation. Like many high school students, I had eagerly anticipated university life. However, I soon realized it wasn't as ideal as I had imagined and wished I had cherished my high school years and time living at home more.
Now studying under the Department of Journalism and Communication at Fu Jen Catholic University, I am grateful for what I’ve gained from my high school that helped me get into my desired program. Despite having more freedom for my own schedule, I find university life more exhausting. The larger class sizes and diverse backgrounds of my peers make high school friendships feel even more precious.
Daily life now requires me to be much more independent and respomsible, from finding affordable food to managing laundry in less comfortable dormitory conditions. Academically, without supervision, I must be proactive in enrolling in classes and adapting to different professors' grading methods. University courses demand more specialized knowledge and independent thinking.
Despite these challenges, pursuing my passion of becoming a journalist keeps me motivated. I appreciate the support from my family and high school teachers, who helps me to adapt to this new chapter in my life.
