Done With Senior Year?没那么快。
This beplay官网体育post was written by Peer Career Ambassador,黄顺平17岁。
去年秋天，I wrote aboutInvisible Pressuresfor seniors to find a full time job before graduation.That burden has been with me since September and is a part of my senior year experience.Now that it's February and that pressure is finally removed from my shoulder,我感到失落；我已经完成了这么长时间，重要的目标，我不知道接下来会发生什么。
我不相信我是唯一一个这样的高年级学生，因为巴布森的学生都是高成就者；beplay官网体育we are always striving towards personal development.So what's the next step after securing a job?下一步我们能做些什么来帮助我们发展自己，在进入现实世界之前利用我们作为大学生剩下的一点点时间？
作为高级系列1的一部分，来自不同行业和生活环境的五位校友小组成员回到巴布森，就如何在大学毕业后掌握成人提出了建议。beplay官网体育Based on that panel,I would like to share ten things you can do prepare yourself for life after college.
- Start a budgeting spreadsheet – you all know my love for excel spreadsheets,so to tackle the daunting task of budgeting,当然，我建议建立一个电子表格。
- 您必须根据与您个人生活最相关的内容定制预算电子表格，which means you will have to make changes to the below templates (add line items,make sure all of the formulas work well,等),以适应你的生活方式。
- 校友小贴士：用于估算必要开支（如杂货）；make sure toadd 10%to your estimate because you'll probably underestimate and it's always better to budget for extra than to not have enough for such necessary expenses.
- Don't forget that your gas,heating,根据季节不同，电费也会增加/减少。
- Start some基本的financial planning: 401K,Investments,Savings,等。
-
Plan life outside of work– the alumni couldn't stress enough the importance of finding a life outside of work.
- 大多数工作场所的初学者都遵循一个很快就会精疲力竭的时间表：醒来，go to work,回家吧，watch TV,睡眠，and repeat.
- Alumni Tip: Don't follow this schedule all the time;下班后一定要学会和朋友见面，schedule workout time with someone who lives close by,或者只是改变一下，让生活充满激情。
- Keeping life exciting does not mean spending money on fancy restaurants,instead,you can save money and keep life exciting by having a cooking night at a friend's place,or volunteer for causes you care about.
- Sign up for a professional society in the area– this will help you meet new people,maintain professional development,and give you a life outside of the office.
- 然而，如果你一周都很忙或者在投资银行（IB）工作，时间可能很疯狂，but still try to have a life outside of work because this is necessary.
-
Build good habits and break bad habits– get a head start in bettering your adult life by building those good habits now!
- Read about why habits are important and how to go about breaking bad habits and creating new ones:http://jamesclear.com/habits#Common
- Ideas for good habits: exercising at 6am (or before work),eating at least one fruit per day,journal every night,sleeping earlier and waking up earlier,等。
-
Take action– take action on your bucket and to-do list.
- Everyone hasat leasttwo lists: a bucket list and an ongoing to-do list
- Tackle those to-do items that have been pushed to the bottom of the list over time due to more urgent tasks.
- 把那些有趣的东西划掉。
-
建立有价值的联系– another big tip that the alumni provided is to network and spend quality time with as many people as you can马上.
- 毕业后，beplay官网地址你可能很少见到这些朋友，而且很难再次建立如此密切的联系，因为你的情况会有所不同。
- Build valuable connections with people that willlast distance and time.
- 你永远不知道将来什么时候需要联系。
- This past summer,10年后，我遇到了我小学最好的朋友，我们在我们离开的地方找到了，因为我们已经建立了牢固的联系。
-
Leave a legacy– think about your reputation on campus,what type of impression do you want to leave behind?
- Is your legacy that amazing article you wrote forThe beplay官网体育Babson Free Pressthat will always be on the website?Is it your involvement in re-designing Trim and Pub?Is it a mentee or little?
- It isnot too late to build your legacy现在。You still have seven weeks to create a positive change.
-
Take advantage of your time as a beplay官网体育Babson student– we were so busy looking for a job or being a student that we didn't have time to fully take advantage of beplay官网体育Babson resources.
- 林达网– now is the perfect time to use Lynda to learn new skills that we've always been interested in because after graduation,we will have to pay for such services!I've always wanted to learn photography,photoshop软件，和vba/宏。
- 学生折扣–使用学生身份，免费去博物馆，buy your next laptop,等。这是一张很棒的单子学生折扣。
- 技术工具– use the programs and technology that comes with our laptops such as Photoshop,Illustrator,InDesign,等。There are more available on the Hub under the IT Section.Again,you'll have to pay for these services once out of college.
-
Plan for the next three years and no more– a mentor once told me that once you beplay官网地址graduate,the farthest amount of time we can plan for are the next two to three years because anything more than that will be restrictive and a waste of time.
- We can't possibly know what we want in five years or what state of life we'll be.Maybe in three years,we will want to switch career paths or build a family.
- For now,think about what you want to accomplish in the next year or so.
-
明智地利用剩余的休息时间-大学毕业后，you'll never have another spring break again so use upcoming breaks to do something special.
-
Research everything– a person can never stop learning.
- Learn about ways to build your net worth/financial profile.
- Consider other forms of personal development or hobbies.
- Become an expert in something to differentiate yourself.
- Do you want to go to beplay官网地址graduate school one day?研究需求和您可以做什么来准备。(Or talk with CCD.)
- Keep building your technical skills through certifications and online classes.
- Build knowledge on industry news and trends.
- Those are all examples,but the key is to keep researching about things that are你很有意思.
And Ta-Da,你又变成了一个忙碌的海狸！祝你和你未来的所有努力好运。敢于冒险，尝试未经探索的旅程。
