10、光流逝，但你內(nèi)心深處確有一些很想追尋的東西，卻無法實現(xiàn)。你一直在尋找的，我的朋友，就是將你自己投身到大學社團中的機會，去發(fā)現(xiàn)各種各樣的活動。這些團體在像牛津這樣的城市里散發(fā)著勃勃生機。不論你是想保持已有的興趣，還是培養(yǎng)新的愛好，你首先應該到牛津大學學生會的新生集會上去看看那些令人眼花繚亂的俱樂部。手持一張新生集會的入場券，你就可以得到一份嶄新的關于牛津大學方方面面的綜合指南。如果你錯過了這場集會，別泄氣，在新生周里發(fā)給你的牛津目錄上，你將看到各種社團的介紹。你不妨稍作瀏覽-這可是你見識大學生活的重要機會。人們投身社團生活的程度各不相同。有的完全沉醉于一個俱樂部，在接下來的三年里幾乎不跟非本俱樂

11、部成員說話，直至成為該組織的領導者。其余的人更愿意選擇靈活的方式，參加幾個社團，參加凡是他們感興趣的活動。還有許多人，也許有點笨，完全無視大學社團的存在，只是與大學里的伙伴們在一起打發(fā)時間。社團使人們有大量的機會結識校園以外的人，特別對于文科學生來說，這是難能可貴的。但是別忘了，許多學院有自己興盛的社團，你也能在新生周里加入這些社團。音樂和戲劇總是很受歡迎，有興趣的人聚在一起做點什么，也并非難事。如果你有心為學校新搞一個莎士比亞說唱社團，你可以向大學校監(jiān)申請注冊，還可獲得啟動資助、貸款及其他好處。尤其是對大社團而言，其中的一個負面就是學生的鉆營。鉆營指的是有些學生在俱樂部或社團里追求職位的提高

12、（通常是要做主席），有些社團，比如牛津大學學生俱樂部或同業(yè)協(xié)會總能吸引那些比別人更有野心的人。當學生們突然想到他們空白的履歷，想到履歷將與他們將來能否找到一份高收入的工作密切相關，想方設法往上爬就幾乎是在所難免的了。盡管如此，也不用擔心：絕大多數(shù)學生不贊成這種自我鉆營的行為。他們能夠從容的面對生活。三百多個社團，對每個人來說，都應該能找到自己的位置。除了一些傾向明顯的政治聚會和體育俱樂部外，所有的主要宗教都有自己的組織；有熱衷于不同國家或地區(qū)的社會與文化的社團，從中國到保加利亞，以及從蘇格蘭到埃塞克斯的英國各地區(qū)；有熱衷于義工、文學、音樂、戲劇和科幻小說的協(xié)會；還有五花八門的奇特組織，比如瑪格

13、麗特女子學院布丁協(xié)會，牛津特技協(xié)會，以及普胡牌友協(xié)會。你會喜歡它們的。PassageBAWell-BalancedLifeAwell-balancedlifeisnecessarytoliveintodaysworld.Withoutawell-balancedlifeapersoncanneitherfunctionproperlynordevelopintoawell-roundedindividual.Withoutsomesortofbalanceinlifepeopletendtobeunfulfilledandunhappy.Iveexperiencedgreatstressinm
