2020 Year End Reflection
2021 年已经过去 13 天了。
这篇总结已经被我拖了小半个月。准确的说,是逃避。逃避考研的失败,逃避别人的目光,逃避内心的自己。
今年是近 4 年来,经历事情最多的 1 年,也是最为充实的 1 年。
1 月中旬,我正式着手准备考研,目标院校是北京邮电大学。这个时候,我的梦想就是硕士毕业后能够进入阿里巴巴、字节跳动等所谓的“大厂”里去工作,并在几年内实现部分财富自由。
3 月,由于疫情,开学时间推迟。
6 月,学校允许部分学生回校,于是我和舍友开始朝7晚10泡在图书馆。
回校后,我发现我的复习进度已经远超身边的人,不禁沾沾自喜。当舍友们整天在我的身边交流数学题的时候,我又产生了一种本能的排斥。并不是对数学的厌烦,而是一种心理上的拒绝。
就是别人都在做的事情,我就偏偏不去做。从小到大,别人都在听的歌,我几乎不会去听;别人都在追的剧,我也几乎不会去看。我总是想成为少数人,和大多数人不一样的那个人。
慢慢地,这种心理演化成一种思维惯性和本能反应。
7 月,认识了一个重要的人,后来给予了我非常大的心理慰藉和考研复习上的帮助。
8 月初,个人生活出现了些问题,内心开始间歇性的痛苦。
8 月中旬,考研复习变得紧张起来。撤销了每天总会抽时间写代码的安排,并为过去 8 个月来自己的这个习惯感到后悔和自责。
8 月末,任课老师正式通知我延迟毕业。内心崩溃,几近绝望。因为这意味着我没法继续参加考研。那时的我就像个走失的绵羊一样开始四处打探消息。找任课老师、班主任、导员、教务处,“求爷爷告奶奶”。持续了大概半个月,以一个虚假的通知 —— 在毕业前,我会被安排重修(因为这门课是在大三学期上的,正常的话,大四学期会有重修),而告终。
9 月初,意识到数学的复习效果较差。逐渐静下心来,深入到每一个学科。
9 月中旬,因为私事,个人生活再度陷入深渊,内心彻底崩溃。开始偶尔晚上去校外酒店休息,不想和任何人交谈。
持续一周后,该事以一种逃避和自我欺骗暂时被强行搁置。
9 月 23 号,我搬出了宿舍,在校外租了间房子,安心准备考研。
大概也是在这个时间结点附近,我在千里冰封(昵称ID)等人的间接影响下,开始了解PL(Program Languages)。于是几天后,我决心改考中国科学技术大学,研究方向定位 —— 形式化验证(隶属于PL应用范畴)。几年来对研究方向的迷茫被彻底解决。因为它真的太吸引我了,就像“一见钟情”得那种狂热兴奋。
10 月,考研报名截止。期间,调整了下学习时间 —— 07:00 - 次日 00:30。
11 月,我意识到 —— 毕业前我可能不会被安排重修。这个时候,只有间断性的痛苦了。
后来,我抱着一丝希望,向导员核验此事。可是无论我说什么,他给我的回复都是 —— “耐心等待学院官方通知”。那时候的我一直不理解为什么他不能去问一下学院的具体安排,毕竟这也是他的本职工作。无果后,我发现谁都帮不了我,也没有义务来帮我。于是,我自己去找了校教务处和校长。最后在给校长发了一封电子邮件后,事情得到解决。
任课老师改口,说我这门课本来就是及格的(并不是因为我的成绩被修改,原因过于复杂,暂不陈述)。班主任讲可能是我没把话讲清楚,导致任课老师误解了我的本意。导员说你其实没必要找校长,你找了校长最后也是在我们这里落实,都是我们来解决这个问题。
最后在学院给予的回复邮件里,是这么写的 —— 该学生太过急躁,还以耐心等待通知为宜。
终于,在考研前 1 个多月的时候,这件事情画上句号。这个时候的我没有从心里真正的抱怨哪个老师,只觉浑身轻松,可以喘口气了。
12 月末,考研结束。当天晚上,对完答案后,根据往年平稳的历史均分,我知道我没能力去读(形式化验证)这个研究方向了。至于读一个不错的学校,似乎还有可能。后来,爸妈说只要在过线的前提下,可以走下关系,去读一个和中科大齐名的高校。我除了惊讶外,没有多大的兴趣。
12.27 - 12.30,我窝在房间里看了3天电视,吃了两顿饭。本来以为会一直不饿的,最后只能说饭菜真香…
12.31 非常美好的一天😁。
这就是我的这 2020 年。有很多的不如意,却没有留下什么遗憾。包括考研失意,前期复习策略是肯定有问题的,至于后期,在当时的情境下,(个人认为)我已经尽了我最大的努力。如果幸运,我愿意接受调剂的话,我可能会被中国科学院录取吧。
但也是平庸的 1 年。
In my junior year of college, I was thinking about how I should spend my life.
At that time, I felt that I must do something I love and must do something great.
How to define this greatness? I imagined being someone like Steve Jobs or Elon Musk. This idea sounds absurd, because we all hear more or less young people boasting about it, and the only people who have achieved it are Steve Jobs and Elon Musk, who have become themselves.
To this day, what I see in front of me is mostly fragmented, right?
But when I think about it, suppose we can live for 90 years and then die. Born as a human being, what kind of posture should we live in. Sooner or later, everyone will have their own definition. It may be in adolescence, or it may be in old age.
If you want to do something big, the road may go farther and longer. But no matter what, what happens, that’s the path you have to take. So how to arrive before you die? I think the most fundamental point is to “think”. Reflect and work hard, and then do your best to seize the opportunity, walk steadily to the far.
There will be many people on the road you want to take, and there must be a few people who can go to the end.
I couldn’t accept my failure at first, mainly because my ego couldn’t accept it. Just like today, looking back at the college entrance exam. Is it really that important to life? Let’s just say it is the catalyst, if one is admitted to a top college, then there is the chance of guaranteed admission to the college of one’s choice, as well as the ability to have relatively good educational resources and eyesight. How not, that comes here, is just another opportunity.
Don’t worry too much about what others think, everyone has their own development interval in the timeline, either sooner or later. I’ve always been one of those people who really likes to have people think highly of me. It really doesn’t matter that much.
Also, to live well and enjoy this process of life. In the past, I didn’t do this very well. For example, there are still a bunch of hobbies that I haven’t tried. I always used to give myself too many excuses, the essence or inertia.
Due to the failure of many previous relationships, I have a deep-seated sense of inferiority. Although it has been overcome, but still because of some words and that what that what… Today temporarily not to write, these topic points are too big.
2021, may you and I enjoy life and become interesting people.
