主题札记：
　　那晚，心情有些烦躁，于是很自然地就拿起了桌上的大学毕业纪念册。捧着它，一页一页地读，已经远去的大学时光顿时历历在目：白云山、相思河、图书馆、白千层树……虽然已经走出大学，但心始终牵挂并留恋着那美丽宁静的校园。
　　从懵懂地向往大学到亲身体验大学生活的点点滴滴，再到告别斑斓五彩的校园，走进社会这所更大的“大学”，这期间有欢笑，有泪水，有收获，也有遗憾……但毫无疑问，这是我们人生中一段最宝贵最难忘的时光，惟有亲身经历并细细品味过，方懂得其中滋味。
　　金秋九月，新的一批学子将走进大学，开始他们的象牙塔寻梦之旅。因而，这期我们特别策划了“锵锵大学行”这个主题，希望可以和大家一起走进大学，感受大学，或者，找寻那份记录青春的大学回忆。
　　“走进大学的那一刻，倒计时就开始了。离开大学时会有很多遗憾，要从现在开始一天一天减少遗憾！”这是我的一位优秀的师兄的大学感言，与大家分享并共勉！

　　The first three months of my college experience has taught me that when you leave the social atmosphere that once locked your identity in place, you 1)shed unwanted skin, and develop the ability to 2)reinvent yourself.
　　Since birth we have been following along a path that our parents carved out for us, not
　　really knowing why we are here or who we are. By high school, we have been 3)stapled into the social 4)spectrum; our status is determined and hard to change; our friends 5)have us down pat, and we as human beings have no more room to grow. Boom! High school ends and college begins. As our high school peers are no longer there to reinforce our previous social status and identity, a sense of security is ultimately lost. No one knows who we are in college. No one knows anything about us. It’s almost as if we are completely starting over, which to some, can seem exhausting while to others may feel 6)exhilara-ting. While we break loose from our “safety box” at home, we finally get to write the chapters in our own book, so to speak.
　　College gives us the opportunity to completely turn around and look at things from a different point of view. Popularity in high school is irrelevant in college. My roommate wasn’t popular in high school. A girl who is popular and lives on the same floor told me. One weekend, some “popular” friends came up to visit the previous “popular” girl. My roommate stopped by to say “Hi”. A few minutes later she decided to drink with them. And then my roommate returned with a “popular” guy, and they started talking and 7)fooling around. That was about it, no big deal, but this was something that wouldn’t have happened in high school. In college, the rules no longer apply, unless you allow them to. College sets no guidelines; we are on our own. We are reinvented. Forget the labels. It’s all 8)bullshit. Get over it. You are now who you want to be.
　　
　　Although reinvention is an important part of college, the establishing of our identity still remains to be achieved. In addition, our eagerness to 9)fit in is still very present. We want the security we had in high school, but in a different way.
　　College is like an 10)audition. You walk onto the campus and understand that no one has a clue about you. It’s all up to you. Your parents are no longer 11)at your service, and independence is the name of the game. We are forced to make choices, and become our own thinkers.
　　Transformation through a person’s college experience doesn’t just happen right away. Being in
　　college doesn’t automatically guarantee that you will change and move away from the social 12)cliques in high school that might have left you trapped. In the beginning, I was still thinking like a high school student, trying to fit in, and finding friends that would be compatible with me. One night at dinner, I was eating with three girls from my floor. They weren’t 。
