In the journey of life, we will encounter all kinds of forks in the road, the most tangled of which is the choice after the college entrance examination. That summer, we were all "freshmen" who were about to enter college, but when the river took us to different shores, some of us became the "former graduates". These two words are simple but very different.
What is a "fresh graduate"?What is a "previous session"?Just in the literal sense of the word, one is "being faced" and the other is "already experienced". But that's just the tip of the iceberg.
When we look at it from the perspective of the campus, the freshmen are the freshmen who have just stepped out of high school and stepped into the university with ignorance and longing. They are facing a new environment, new challenges. In this new world, they need to adapt, they need to learn, they need to grow. In the past, it was the old students who already knew a little about the university and even experienced those challenges. They may have found their place, or they may still be groping their way forward. But in any case, they have already left their mark on this university.
In the context of society, the fresh graduates are the young people who have just stepped out of the ivory tower and stepped into the society with passion and dreams. They are facing the real world, real life. The real world may confuse and confuse them, but it is also the way they must grow. In the past, it was those "veterans" who had been in the society for a while. They may have found their way, or they may still be exploring. But in any case, they have left their mark on the real world.
Let's take a concrete example to illustrate the difference between the two: Xiao Ming is a recent college graduate, and he is a fresh graduate. For him, university is a new world, and he needs to adapt, learn, and grow. Xiaohua is a college student who has graduated for a year, and he is a former student. For him, although university is no longer a new world, every step forward is full of unknowns and explorations.
Of course, whether it is a current or a previous year, we are the people who have pursued or are pursuing their dreams. The current session has the ignorance and longing of the new year, and the previous session has the maturity and exploration of the previous session. On this path of life, we are all brave travelers, moving forward with dreams and hopes.
