When I got the college entrance notice, I was so excited, all of my hard work had paid off. I could see my bright future. But going to the college is not as easy as I thought before, there are so many things I have to learn, I am happy to broaden my vision and enrich my knowledge.
当我接到大学录取通知的时候，我很兴奋，我所有的努力都得到了回报。我能看到自己光明的未来。但是上大学并没有我之前想象中那么容易，我要学习的东西还很多，我很高兴开阔了视野，丰富了自己的知识。

Before I go to college, I had the beautiful imagination about the campus life. It felt like that I could do what I wanted and study was not the first thing. But the fact is that study is still the most important thing. So many students fight for their dreams here and they study so hard to be the excellent students. If I focus on playing, then I will lag behind. So I also have the pressure and I have to keep up with my classmates. 
在我上大学以前，我对大学校园生活有着美好的幻想。似乎我能做自己想做的，学习不过第一要事。但是事实上，学习仍然是最重要的事情。很多学生在这里为他们的理想奋斗，他们是如此努力学习，为了成为优秀的学生。如果我专注玩耍，就会落后。所以我也有压力，要赶上同学。

Besides knowledge, I also learn to be an independent person. I lived with my parents before I moved to the dormitory. Living outside, I need to learn to get along with others and solve the problems by myself. I am growing up and learn to be a mature person. 
除了知识，我也学着去成为一个独立的人。在我搬去宿舍前，我和父母住在一起。在外面住，我需要学着去和别人相处，自己解决问题。我不断成长，学着成为一个成熟的人。
