As students, we have 【小题1】 from early morning till late afternoon. Therefore, 【小题2】 a ten-minute break between classes is very important and necessary. Otherwise, we may feel both 【小题3】 and mentally tired. During the ten-minute break, we do something to get rid 【小题4】 tiredness. What we need is to have a good rest, instead of 【小题5】 more tired. So don’t do anything that makes you too 【小题6】. My ten-minute break is always 【小题7】. I usually do some simple exercise. 【小题8】 I take a walk during the break or have a free chat with 【小题9】 classmates. 【小题10】 the new class begins, I feel fresh again.

Twelve years, two months, and 28 days. That’s how long I’ve been 【小题1】 to the polos and plaid skirts of the uniform. Though most teen girls frown (皱眉) at the 【小题2】 of uniforms, at my high school, Carondelet High School in California, many students change their uniforms to suit their own style.

Uniform rules have always been 【小题3】. The restrictions are down to the inch: Gray or plaid skirts must be no shorter than two inches above the knee and only white, blue, black, and gray sneakers or flats are 【小题4】 . With all these rules, one can’t help but wonder how the typical rebellious teenager can express her 【小题5】 .

Still, they manage. Senior Michelle Ferrer says she accessorizes by wearing bright colors like green and pink in bracelets, shoe laces, and headbands to stand out and be fashionable. For any stylish Carondelet student, accessories are 【小题6】.

At Carondelet, one thing’s for sure: The older a student gets, the more she’s 【小题7】 to bend the rules. Senior Natalia Piwek admits that she often 【小题8】 her “tights and colorful socks” with “illegal shoes”. If you happen to see a girl with colorful tights or boots running across the hallway, it’s most likely that she’s running from a dean (院长).

In about two months, I will say goodbye to my uniform. I will miss the 【小题9】 of wearing it. However, I must say, wearing a uniform has taught mean important 【小题10】 that I will take with me when I go off to college: It doesn’t matter what you wear, but how you wear it.

Before starting college, I was told to make friends because friends could offer precious help with notes and homework. They could tell you where the parties were happening, and being in their company meant 【小题1】 well adjusted. But friends in college, a time of being away from family for the first time and facing emotional challenges alone, mean a lot more to me than that.

During my freshman year of college, two of my roommates were 【小题2】 around with me about how much I hated chicken salad. To mess with (招惹) me even more, they opened two packets of chicken salad and started eating it right in front of me. I decided to take one of those packets and throw it at them! We 【小题3】 each other up and down until I found that I had lost my favourite pair of earrings.

I started to get really 【小题4】, but my roommates assured me that we would definitely find them. About 25 minutes later, they finally found the earrings in the elevator. I was so happy that I instantly gave them a(n) 【小题5】. Then they told me that no matter what happened they would always be there, have my 【小题6】, and never leave my side. It was right then and there that I knew we would be close friends for the next four years.

As an introvert (内向的人), I do think that it can be 【小题7】 to talk about certain topics with other people, such as academic struggles and complications in relationships. While there are often many resources available on campus, such as professors and advisers, I have found it most comfortable and convenient to turn to friends. Especially where emotions are 【小题8】, outside views can provide a distance that is objective and clear. When combined with knowledge obtained through 【小题9】 experiences, this added point of view is of great help.

The numerous assignments, extracurricular (课外的) activities and social events tend to add up throughout a semester. I can confidently say that college would be much more difficult to navigate without the 【小题10】 of my friends. Much as I look forward to returning home during breaks, I have come to see some of my college friends as a whole new kind of family.
