We made it: the end of the year. We’re positively encouraged to take ourselves apart so we can wake in the morning with groggy designs to reassemble for the better.
我們又圓滿地度過了一年的時間。那么不妨放空自己，用天馬行空的計劃重新打造一個更好的自己吧！

下面是每個學生都應該制定的新年計劃：

Get work experience
積累工作經(jīng)驗

This is the priority. Employers asked for a degree or experience; now they demand both. It’s up to each student to use their degree to its full advantage: sadly, there is no longer an irrefutable corollary between qualification and employment. Work where you can – every job will provide some useful experience.?
積累工作經(jīng)驗應在新年計劃中優(yōu)先考慮。雇主曾要求雇員具備學位或工作經(jīng)驗二者之一，但現(xiàn)在他們卻要求兩者兼具。把學位作為自己的全部優(yōu)勢是每個學生的自由，然而令人沮喪的是，學位資格和就業(yè)之間再也不能劃等號了。只要能工作的地方就去試一試：任何工作中都會幫你積累有用的經(jīng)驗。

Kick the procrastination
趕走拖延癥

No one can stick to this, but just remember that tweeting about your work doesn’t count as doing it. 140-character wonderings may give you practice for crisp writing, but that only counts if you get anything useful down.
沒人能始終堅持不犯拖延癥，但是要記得在社交網(wǎng)絡上發(fā)有關工作計劃的文字不代表你已經(jīng)完成了。140個字也許能讓你練習簡短寫作，但只有你開始著手做有用的事情時，這些字才有意義。

Buy a calendar
買個日程表

Whether it’s online or in print, a calendar is a must. No more ‘Oops, just missed a seminar lol’ updates. Just write or type your obligations down – preferably somewhere you won’t forget.?
無論是網(wǎng)絡在線的，還是印刷版本的，日程表必不可少。別再發(fā) “誒，剛剛錯過一場研討會lol” 這樣的狀態(tài)更新了。把你應該做的事寫下或者打出來，然后最好放在你不會忘記的地方。

Budget for emergencies
存錢以備不時之需

The moments money takes your?guts?and?twists?them with worry is when unexpected costs occur – when the laptop throws a?hissy?fit midway through an essay, resolves to?hibernate?permanently?and you urgently need a replacement. Budget for your weekly spend and then put a little extra aside as often as possible. This makes big spends more manageable.
意外花銷產(chǎn)生的時候，如果囊腫羞澀你就不免底氣不足、憂心忡忡。比如說筆記本電腦在你論文寫到一半的時候死機罷工，這時候你就急需一臺新電腦。在做開銷預算的時候，除了日常支出以外要經(jīng)常增加一些額外開支。這會使數(shù)額巨大的開銷更加可控。

Do a little more work at university
珍惜大學的學習時光

Not to be a bore about it, but the biggest mistake any student can make is to not work hard enough. Skipping non-compulsory lectures can become a rather pleasing pastime, but what is missed now will not be covered in a series of catch up lectures.
聽煩了吧，但每個學生都會犯的錯誤就是學習不夠刻苦。翹選修課可能會讓你開心一陣子，但現(xiàn)在錯過的知識卻無法在以后的一系列課堂中得到彌補。

Finally … eat more all-day breakfasts
最后……養(yǎng)成吃全日早餐的習慣

For reasons I don’t accept or agree with, I’m not allowed to stroll out of my office whenever I like and seat myself elsewhere for an all-day fry up. Most businesses have similarly draconian policies. Have as many as you can while you are a student: they are an uncelebrated joy you will miss once your rights to them are revoked.?
雖然我不接受也不贊同，但公司規(guī)定員工不能隨時隨意地走出辦公室、出去找地方吃個全日早餐，大部分公司有類似這樣的嚴格規(guī)定。所以在你還是個學生的時候就多吃點早餐吧：一旦你被剝奪了這個權利你就會開始想念這段盡情吃早餐的時光。
