10、光流逝，但你內(nèi)心深處確有一些很想追尋的東西，卻無(wú)法實(shí)現(xiàn)。你一直在尋找的，我的朋友，就是將你自己投身到大學(xué)社團(tuán)中的機(jī)會(huì)，去發(fā)現(xiàn)各種各樣的活動(dòng)。這些團(tuán)體在像牛津這樣的城市里散發(fā)著勃勃生機(jī)。不論你是想保持已有的興趣，還是培養(yǎng)新的愛(ài)好，你首先應(yīng)該到牛津大學(xué)學(xué)生會(huì)的新生集會(huì)上去看看那些令人眼花繚亂的俱樂(lè)部。手持一張新生集會(huì)的入場(chǎng)券，你就可以得到一份嶄新的關(guān)于牛津大學(xué)方方面面的綜合指南。如果你錯(cuò)過(guò)了這場(chǎng)集會(huì)，別泄氣，在新生周里發(fā)給你的牛津目錄上，你將看到各種社團(tuán)的介紹。你不妨稍作瀏覽-這可是你見(jiàn)識(shí)大學(xué)生活的重要機(jī)會(huì)。人們投身社團(tuán)生活的程度各不相同。有的完全沉醉于一個(gè)俱樂(lè)部，在接下來(lái)的三年里幾乎不跟非本俱樂(lè)

11、部成員說(shuō)話，直至成為該組織的領(lǐng)導(dǎo)者。其余的人更愿意選擇靈活的方式，參加幾個(gè)社團(tuán)，參加凡是他們感興趣的活動(dòng)。還有許多人，也許有點(diǎn)笨，完全無(wú)視大學(xué)社團(tuán)的存在，只是與大學(xué)里的伙伴們?cè)谝黄鸫虬l(fā)時(shí)間。社團(tuán)使人們有大量的機(jī)會(huì)結(jié)識(shí)校園以外的人，特別對(duì)于文科學(xué)生來(lái)說(shuō)，這是難能可貴的。但是別忘了，許多學(xué)院有自己興盛的社團(tuán)，你也能在新生周里加入這些社團(tuán)。音樂(lè)和戲劇總是很受歡迎，有興趣的人聚在一起做點(diǎn)什么，也并非難事。如果你有心為學(xué)校新搞一個(gè)莎士比亞說(shuō)唱社團(tuán)，你可以向大學(xué)校監(jiān)申請(qǐng)注冊(cè)，還可獲得啟動(dòng)資助、貸款及其他好處。尤其是對(duì)大社團(tuán)而言，其中的一個(gè)負(fù)面就是學(xué)生的鉆營(yíng)。鉆營(yíng)指的是有些學(xué)生在俱樂(lè)部或社團(tuán)里追求職位的提高

12、（通常是要做主席），有些社團(tuán)，比如牛津大學(xué)學(xué)生俱樂(lè)部或同業(yè)協(xié)會(huì)總能吸引那些比別人更有野心的人。當(dāng)學(xué)生們突然想到他們空白的履歷，想到履歷將與他們將來(lái)能否找到一份高收入的工作密切相關(guān)，想方設(shè)法往上爬就幾乎是在所難免的了。盡管如此，也不用擔(dān)心：絕大多數(shù)學(xué)生不贊成這種自我鉆營(yíng)的行為。他們能夠從容的面對(duì)生活。三百多個(gè)社團(tuán)，對(duì)每個(gè)人來(lái)說(shuō)，都應(yīng)該能找到自己的位置。除了一些傾向明顯的政治聚會(huì)和體育俱樂(lè)部外，所有的主要宗教都有自己的組織；有熱衷于不同國(guó)家或地區(qū)的社會(huì)與文化的社團(tuán)，從中國(guó)到保加利亞，以及從蘇格蘭到埃塞克斯的英國(guó)各地區(qū)；有熱衷于義工、文學(xué)、音樂(lè)、戲劇和科幻小說(shuō)的協(xié)會(huì)；還有五花八門(mén)的奇特組織，比如瑪格

13、麗特女子學(xué)院布丁協(xié)會(huì)，牛津特技協(xié)會(huì)，以及普胡牌友協(xié)會(huì)。你會(huì)喜歡它們的。PassageBAWell-BalancedLifeAwell-balancedlifeisnecessarytoliveintodaysworld.Withoutawell-balancedlifeapersoncanneitherfunctionproperlynordevelopintoawell-roundedindividual.Withoutsomesortofbalanceinlifepeopletendtobeunfulfilledandunhappy.Iveexperiencedgreatstressinm
