1. Your major doesn't have to define who you are in life.

你所学的专业并不能决定你人生的方向。

"As a liberal arts degree holder, the best advice I received from my dean was that my major didn't define who I had to be in life." — Es Tee Smith, Facebook

“作为一名文科毕业生，我从系主任那儿得到的最佳建议是：我的专业并不能决定我未来人生的方向。” ——埃斯·T·史密斯，脸书

别耍小孩脾气，成熟点。

4. You have to jump.

你一定要跳下去。

"You're going to jump alone, with no one else beside you. But you're GONNA jump. Just remember you don't jump the same as everyone else. Your timeline isn't theirs. They might land a big dream job in a month, and maybe you'll get yours a year from now, or even 10 years. But you will get there. First though, you have to jump." — MelisCapozio

“没有人在你身边的时候，你需要一个人跳下去。你一定得跳。记住，你要跳得与别人不一样。你的时间线与他们不同。他们可能一个月内就找到了理想的工作，而你可能需要一年，甚至十年之久。但你一定会找到的。不过首先，你一定要跳。” ——MelisCapozio

5. You're now your own personal brand. Be sure to market wisely. — Margaret Aprison, Facebook

All of these adults you look up to, and admire, they're all making this shit up as they go. You're not all alone in this big scary world. I promise.'" — lailar

“毕业前上最后一周课的时候，我很沮丧，我的教授看着我说：‘实际上，没有人真正明白自己在做什么。你所敬仰并羡慕的那些成年人，他们做事情的时候也是这样。我可以肯定地说，在这个大千世界，并不是只有你一个人充满恐惧。’” ——lailar

7. You are your biggest obstacle.
