Reason for writing a diary: I have never liked writing a diary, but recently I saw that many of my good friends (...) are going abroad, and many children are already abroad. I suddenly wanted to summarize my two experiences. Here are some things I learned in 2016 for reference: Just my personal opinion, my talent is sparse and my knowledge is shallow. 1. ! ! ! (Important!!) What is a friend? What is a close friend? In the United States, there are different definitions. In China, my definition is that we hold hands every day, talk about everything, and only talk to you if we have anything to say. We even go to the toilet together (girls know jf, zya, zyt). But in the United States, everyone is basically very independent. Generally, two Americans will not stick together all day long, unless they are lovers. And they usually have 2 to 3 best friends. For example, one of my best friends, we don’t talk to each other more than once a week, but she and her mom gave me a Chinese red envelope (with candy in it. Disappointing jk) on Chinese New Year with her imitation on it Chinese characters for Happy New Year (touching) 2. ! ! ! (important)! ! In China, maybe we have the best friends, two people stick together. But in the United States, there are often cliques. There are many categories in cliques, such as football guys and gossip girls. Most of them are classified according to sports teams, clubs, grades, or personalities. There are big and small cliques, and they usually hang out together. So choose your circle carefully =) Or like me, I have many circles. The main one has about 10 people (all Americans). We spend our weekends skating, rock climbing, movie night with cake, etc. together. 3. ! ! ! ! ! ! Very important! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! First, don’t measure your American life by the number of American friends. This is not your only purpose. Second, don’t flatter Americans. They are just human beings. Treat them equally and respect themselves. Third, don’t exclude Chinese people. Many Chinese in the United States are elites, especially in universities. Fourth, don’t force yourself to make friends, just let it happen naturally and be patient. Let me explain =) First, think about your goals for coming to the United States. Like the yzf kids, it’s best to write them down, otherwise you will forget them. , really, if I write it and post it, I can see it and remind myself every day =). In this way, you will not be lonely all day long, feel like you have no friends, or rush into love to fill yourself up. The number of friends is not a criterion for measuring people. Why? Because the easiest way to make friends in the United States is to go to parties and dirty dancing, and you are guaranteed to have all your friends in no time. Third, please treat Chinese and international students equally. It is not easy for everyone to come out. Take care of those who can. open mind. Open mind, or open mind. Let me briefly talk about my situation in the past 2 years, but being an audience has unlimited benefits. First, I have accumulated a lot of slang
