We went through competitive examinations to enter University for 12 years from elementary school to high school. We haven’t spent enough time on thinking about our true way of things. “Why should I study in University? What do I really want from this?” I’m sure we university students are in the best point in our lives. How can we spend a well-filled university life?

First, 'Make Mentors'. Look around you. One of your friends, professors, or seniors could be a good mentor. The more mentors you have, the wider your thinking is. Joining clubs and participating in contests are good ways to find mentors.

Second, 'Apply to internships'. Many professors hope to add internships for their students as yet another corporate culture. These days, a lot of companies have their own internship system to dig out participants' hidden talents. It’s a good opportunity to discover your talents and weaknesses through internships.

Third, 'Look out the window'. I recommend you to look out the window. There are many universities in the world. If you want to study your major deeply, go study abroad. There are many chances to experience and apply to. Twice a year, there are notices on Waggle for CWNU students to study abroad in at least 5 different countries.
