University Life
How time flies! One year has passed before I could take any notice of it. This is the start of my freshman year in University. At the very beginning, everything and everyone is strange to me. But now, everyday and in everyway, I am getting better;I am getting used to it.
I would like to tell you two things in my university life that are of great importance and interest.
Freedom is what I am looking forward to since the very first day of my primary school. A lot of people said to me, "Study hard, and you will get freedom when in university." But when I really entered university, I find the real situation is different.Freedom costs me a lot. If I refuse to wash my clothes, for example, they will just lay there, unclean. In a word, I have to do everything and take care of myself. Well, it doesn‘t mean that I don‘t like the life style. On the contrary, I like it very much though it is hard at the beginning. It is really a challenge for me.
I appreciate a famous saying from Albert Camus, "Freedom is nothing but a chance to be better." That‘s right. Real freedom comes with responsibility. Some teenagers believe that freedom means doing whatever you like. But I think that is not real freedom at all. One can have his or her own freedom, while at the same time respect others‘. It is not easy to think on behalf of others. University life provides me with this precious chance to practice it.
翻译：时间过得真快！一年过去了，我才注意到这件事。这是我大学一年级的开始。一开始，我对所有的事情和每个人都很陌生。但是现在，无论在哪一方面，我都在进步，我已经习惯了。
在我的大学生活中，我想告诉你两件非常重要和有趣的事情。
从我上小学的第一天起，我就盼望着自由。很多人对我说：“好好学习，上大学你就会获得自由。”但是当我真正进入大学的时候，我发现真实的情况是不同的。例如，如果我拒绝洗我的衣服，他们只会躺在那里，不干净。总之，我必须做所有的事，照顾好自己。嗯，这并不意味着我不喜欢这种生活方式。相反，我很喜欢它，虽然一开始它很难。这对我来说确实是个挑战。
我欣赏阿尔伯特卡姆斯的一句名言，“自由不过是一个变得更好的机会。””“是的。真正的自由伴随着责任。有些青少年相信自由就是做你喜欢做的事。但我认为那根本不是真正的自由。一个人可以有自己的自由，同时又尊重别人。为别人着想是不容易的。大学生活给了我这个宝贵的机会去实践它。
