Millions of college students will be released from their college careers and into the Real World (not the TV show, thankfully). It’s such a promising time. Here are 9 ways to make the most of it.

　　數以百萬的畢業生即將結束他們的大學生涯，步入“現實世界”(注意下，這里可不是為“現實世界”做電視宣傳)。這是一個開啟希望之途的時刻。這次，送上9種充分利用這一特殊時刻的訣竅。

　　1. Think Beyond Work.想想工作以外的事

　　Your career might be your main focus as you leave college, but remember that work isn’t everything either (and you don’t want to burn out). Go see the world, even on a budget or for free. Go on dates. Keep up your own creative side projects. Challenge yourself to see the world in new ways. (Yes, take the commencement speech to heart.) Life is like a video game, so spend your time and energy in the most important areas.

　　你的工作或許會成為你畢業后的主要關注焦點，但是請記住，工作并不是一切(而且你也不想把自己弄得筋疲力盡)。有時間出去看看外面的世界，窮游或者免費的游覽都可以。去約會，繼續你的創意項目，改變你的視角，從新的角度看世界。(是的，用心記住畢業演講。)生活就像是一場電子游戲，所以你得把你的時間和精力都花在最重要的地方。

　　2. Prepare for Your First Job為第一份工作做好準備

　　You might have held jobs in college, but once you’ve got your diploma in hand, it’s time to completely dive into the work you want to do. Learn how to ace your job interview and create a great resume. Even though you might not have a ton of relevant work experience to put on the resume, you can still beef up your resume by adding personal projects on it. Once you land the job, learn the basics of navigating your first job: stay organized and never miss your deadlines, pay attention to the company culture, and more. Don’t get too wooed by your employer, however—remember that the company you work for is not your friend.

　　你或許在大學時就做過一些工作，但是一旦你獲得了文憑，你就完全可以全身心投入到你想要做的工作當中。學習如何在面試中脫穎而出，如何制作好一份簡歷。即時你的簡歷上相關的工作經驗，但你依舊可以添加一些個人項目來充實你的簡歷。一旦你得到了這份工作，要記住一些基本要求：有條不紊地開展工作，絕不錯過最后期限，注意企業文化等等。別太在老板面前搶風頭，但是請記住——你工作的公司，它不是你的朋友。
