Thoughts on lecture & career center


Library is one of the most significant part of campus life for it’s the place where all students and teachers come to look for resources to do research on their projects. It’s a wonderful place to study, to enjoy yourself, and to explore. It’s a sacred ground where knowledge is highly valued and open to all who truly craves to dive in the ocean of books. Even it’s just been 3 weeks, I have already spent most of my time in library, either to finish my homework or simply to have some peace. The lecture on Tuesday gave me an impression that our library is powerful and available as long as I know how to use it. It gave me much knowledge I didn’t acquire about how to utilize our library efficiently, together with many other surprising information of activities in our library. I didn’t realize that there are so many other functions of our library that I didn’t know and the lecture definitely offered me new ways to explore our library.

I’m really surprised that we have such a useful place on campus that I didn’t know of. There are so many information about how I can get an internship opportunity on campus which I am truly interested in, and other information about career suggestions of certain majors. I found a lot flyers that I thought are useful to me. Even more convenient for us, we can apply for an intern opportunity online, simple and effective. However I’m still not very clear about what my career should be and I’m still lingering between choosing occupations of my own interest and choosing the more promising work.

  1. John,

    I like how you’re spending time in the library. That’s smart. Aside from using it as a place for resources, it’s also an “academic sanctuary.” Libraries are places to tune out from the outside world and tune into your studies. Like coffee shops—they’re thinking spaces.

    You wrote a very interesting comment: “I’m still not very clear about what my career should be and I’m still lingering between choosing occupations of my own interest and choosing the more promising work.” Everything you said right there is OK and perfectly normal. You’ll find your way in time. For now, put forth your best foot, work hard, and try to keep your eyes/ears tuned to what captures your curiosity the most.
