Navigating College Life: Expectations vs. Reality

我们现在直播了。

And we're live.

嗨，宝贝们。

Hi, babies.

嗨。

Hi.

你好。

Hello.

今天我们要邀请的是娜迪亚和露西，都是我的宝贝。

Today we have Nadia and Lucy, both my babies.

大家好。

Hi everyone.

大家好。

Hi everyone.

我们非常高兴今天能邀请到娜迪亚和露西。

And we were really excited to have Nadia Lucy on today.

实际上，纳迪亚特别期待露西今天能来。

Actually, Nadia was really excited to have Lucy on today.

是的。

Yeah.

因为我们正在做一个系列节目，邀请即将毕业或刚毕业的学生，聊聊他们下一步该怎么做。

Because we're doing a whole series on bringing students in, either like about to graduate college students or recently graduated students, just to talk about like what the next step is.

但你现在正处于大学生活中，露西。

But you're in the middle of your college experience, Lucy.

你上次来这个播客时，我记得是在你上大学之前。

And the last time you were on this podcast, I think it was before you started college.

是这样吗？

Is that

对。

right?

没错。

Facts.

所以我想知道，你是否愿意跟我们的听众分享一下你在大学的经历，以及这是否与你之前的预期不同。

So I was wondering if you wanted to share with our listeners what your experience has been in college and whether or not it's different from what you were expecting.

而且我觉得你得再大声一点，因为你的音量有点低。

And I think you have to speak up a little bit because your volume's a little bit low.

这样好点了吗？

Is that better?

是的。

Yeah.

好的。

Okay.

我在东北大学，现在是大二，今天是2026年3月30日。

I'm at Northeastern University and I'm a second year And it is 03/30/2026.

所以这其实是我的大四春季学期。

So my spring semester of my senior year.

刚才问题是啥？

What was the question?

我大二的最后一年。

Senior year of my sophomore year.

问题是，到目前为止，你的大学经历是否和你上大学前的预期一致。

The question is whether or not your college experience so far has been what you expected it to be before you started college.

我在上大学前其实没什么期待。

I don't think I really had any expectations before college.

比如，没什么让我感到惊讶的。

Like nothing was very surprising.

我确实没什么太高的期待，但那些有限的期待，都实现了。

Like I didn't really have that many expectations, but of the expectations that I had, it is the same.

我觉得是这样。

I think.

我不确定。

I don't know.

我只是顺其自然地进来了。

I kind of just went into it.

我当时并没有想这会发生、那会发生，我要做这个、做那个。

Like I wasn't thinking this is going to happen and I'm going to do this and this and this.

我只是顺其自然地做了。

I was just doing it.

这可能很好，因为最近我常听到一些学生说，大学和他们之前想象的不一样，他们感到失望。

That's probably good because I feel like, lately I've been hearing students sometimes talk about how college is different from what they thought it was going to be and that they were disappointed.

所以你没有抱什么期望，这可能是好事。

So it's probably good that you weren't expecting anything.

是的。

Yeah.

我觉得人们只是对大学有一种固有的印象。

I think people just have this perception of what it is.

但我也不太确定，因为我的第一学期还出国了。

But I wasn't really sure because I was also going abroad my first semester.

所以我本来就对会发生什么不太清楚。

So I was already unsure what was happening.

然后我在波士顿，所以我也很不确定，但我除了从纳迪亚的经历中了解到的之外，其实并没有什么特别的期待，也不觉得那些事会发生在自己身上。

And then I was in Boston, so I was also unsure, but it was like, I didn't really have any expectations besides like what I got from Nadia's experience, but I wasn't really expecting that to happen to me.

那只是我有所了解的一件事。

It was just like something I was aware of.

我们有一些学生正在申请，刚刚得知自己被哪些学校录取了。

So we have students that are apply, that are just finding out what schools they've gotten into.

你对选择大学以及在入学前和刚入学时该怎么做有什么建议吗？

And do you have any advice for, picking a college and what to do, before and when you first start college?

你是说选大学吗？

Cause it's For fresh for picking a college?

我真的不知道。

I don't really know.

我太优柔寡断了，大家总说我在选大学时会特别纠结，我其实有很多选择。

I Well, I'm so indecisive and we always said that I was gonna have such a hard time choosing a college and I had a bunch of options.

很多选择。

Well, a bunch.

我是说，我对任何一个选项都没特别兴奋，但我觉得这个决定对我来说还是挺容易的。

Like, I don't Like, I wasn't particularly excited about a single option I had, but I feel like the decision was still pretty easy for me.

所以，我不确定这代表什么。

So, I don't know what that means.

相信你的直觉。

Like trust your Go gut with your gut.

我本来想说触霉头。

To I was gonna say jinx.

什么？

What?

我本来想说触霉头。

I was gonna say jinx.

你那时候也说了。

You said at the same time.

哦。

Oh.

收到。

Copy that.

我刚才在说什么？

What was I saying?

另外，对于即将上大学的人，你有什么建议吗？

And also, what, what advice do have for people as they transition to college?

哦，对。

Oh yeah.

我最初没被顶尖学校录取，当时很沮丧，但人们总说你会去到你该去的地方，我觉得这说法很蠢。

Well, I didn't get into my top schools originally and feel like I was upset about that and people were always like, you'll end up where you need to be and I was like, that's dumb.

但现在，我现在在东北大学，确实来到了我该来的地方，而且我非常喜欢东北大学。

But now, but now I'm at Northeastern and I did end up where I needed to be and I love Northeastern.

所以，我想我也不过是又一个要说‘你会去到你该去的地方’的人。

So I guess I'm just another person that's going to say you'll end up where you need to be.

我也有同样的感觉，但说不清楚。

I feel the same I don't know.

我当时没被米德尔伯里和伯克利录取，那原本是我的两个首选。

I like was, I didn't get into Middlebury and Berkeley and those were my top two choices.

然后其他加州大学，我本来想上加州大学系统，但我真的很庆幸没去加州大学，我特别喜欢东北大学的方方面面。

And then like other UCS, I thought I wanted to go to a UC, but I'm so glad I don't go to a UC and I like every part of Northeastern.

你为什么庆幸没去加州大学？

Why are you glad that you're not at a UC?

我不知道。

I don't know.

我只是觉得，我喜欢拥有自己独立的生活。

I just like, I like having my separate life.

我觉得如果我在加州大学，根据我学校里其他人的情况，嗯，也许对有些人有用，但我喜欢这种分离感。

I feel like if I was at a UC, just based on what other people at my school are doing, like, I don't know, works for some people, but I like how there's like separation.

有一种明确的分离感。

There's like a clear separation.

而且我喜欢能重新开始的机会。

And I like that I got to like start over.

我去过欧洲，也很庆幸自己离开了加州，因为我觉得我以后会想回去，而现在是我离开加州最容易的时候。

Like I went to Europe and I also am glad that I got out of California because I think that I'm going to want to go back and this is the easiest time for me to get out of California.

我很庆幸能体验一下东海岸的生活，因为我不知道以后还有没有这么容易的机会。

So I'm glad I got to experience the East Coast because I don't know when else it would be this easy.

是的。

Yeah.

纳迪亚，你当初也考虑过上加州大学，即使在你大一出国期间，你还是觉得，我本该去你被录取的那所加州大学。

You had thoughts about going to UC also, Nadia, and you, even after, while you were abroad, your first year of college, you were like, I should have gone to a new a UC that you got into.

对。

Yeah.

圣塔芭芭拉。

Santa Barbara.

我觉得她说的是我本该去圣地亚哥。

I think she said I should have gone to San Diego.

不是，我说的是我想去圣塔芭芭拉，但说实话，我直到大概大二才确定自己做出了正确的选择。

No, I said it was Santa Barbara I wanted But to go yeah, I wasn't actually sure that I made the right choice until probably second year.

我第一年过得非常开心，但回过头来看，我觉得整体上……

I had a really great time first year, but I think like overall, like looking back at it.

但在第二年之前，我其实对自己的决定并不确定。

But I wasn't really sure in my decision until second year.

而且，我当然没有申请转学之类的事情。

And obviously, I didn't like apply to transfer or anything like that.

但我确实很犹豫。

But, know, I was, I was unsure.

我同意。

And I agree.

你最终会去到你该去的地方。

You're going to end up wherever you end up.

无论是不是你的首选，你最终都会找到适合自己的地方。

It's you're gonna, it's going to be the right fit for you, no matter if it's, you know, your top choice or not.

东北大学也不是我的首选，但我真的很高兴自己最终来到了这里。

And Northeastern was also not necessarily my top choice, but I'm really glad that I ended up here.

所以人们一直告诉我——

So People keep telling me-

说吧。

Go ahead.

人们一直告诉我，他们觉得我会是个海狸大使。

People keep telling me that they think that I would be a Husky ambassador.

就是带人参观的那种。

Like the people that give the tours.

是的。

Yeah.

没关系。

It's okay.

竞争挺激烈的。

Pretty competitive.

如果你想做这个，最好赶紧行动。

If you wanna do that, you better get on.

你会明白的。

You'll know it.

我是我大学的代言人。

I'm an ambassador for my college.

我是社会科学学院的代言人。

First college of social sciences.

好的。

Okay.

这可能是个很难回答的问题，但你们两位都说你们正处于对的地方。

So this might be a hard question to answer, but both of you guys said you are where you're supposed to be.

你们能说出东北大学适合你们的首要原因吗？

Can you name the top reason why Northeastern is the right place for you?

就是我所有的经历，比如第一学期就能出国，还有每个人总是来来往往。

Just all of the experience I had, like being able to go abroad my first semester and also maybe going abroad, like everyone's always moving in and out.

我喜欢这样。

And I like that.

我想要这样的经历。

I wanted that experience.

还有所有这些事情，比如我喜欢 coyote，它有点像姐妹会，但又不是特别紧张，我还能参与其他活动。

And all of the thing, like I love coyote, like, cause it's, it's like sorority, but it's also not very intense, but I can also be involved in other things.

我喜欢我遇到的每个人，因为我觉得他们真的都很有动力。

And I like all the people that I meet because I feel like they're all like, actually motivated.

有时候吧。

Sometimes.

还有那个实习项目。

And, and the co op thing.

我现在正在实习，他们做的实习项目。

I'm on co op right now The and I op thing they do.

实习项目。

Co op thing.

我说过一个原因。

I said well- one reason.

我确实说过，如果要总结出一个共同的主线，那就是你喜欢东北大学那种不断变化的动态氛围。

I did say what one- I think if I were to wrap it up in one like common thread, you like the dynamic aspect of being at Northeastern where things are always changing.

是的。

Yeah.

还有各种机会。

And the opportunities.

她

She

不可能只选一个。

can't just pick one.

那你怎么说，纳迪亚？

What about you, Nadia?

我会说同样的话。

I would say the same thing.

说实话，就是这种动态感，好吧。

Honestly, the dynamic, well, okay.

这算是对我一个简单回答的长篇大论了，但动态变化这一点确实让我一开始很害怕，因为我并不擅长应对快速变化，但说实话，实际情况比我预想的要好得多。

This is like a long answer to my one answer, but the dynamic part of it was something that I was scared about because I am not the best with quick changes, but honestly it's been like better for me than I would've thought.

但对我来说，回答这个问题其实非常容易，因为我可以回顾过去四年里发生的一切，真正让我受益的是在东北大学获得的种种机会。

But I think it's really easy for this answer, for me to answer this question because I can look back at, like, everything that's happened in the past four years, and it's, like, truly the opportunities that I've gotten here at Northeastern.

比如，如果我去的是加州大学圣塔芭芭拉分校，我经常这么说。

Like, I don't think that I would've like, for example, if I went to UCSB, I say this a lot.

我不认为我会像现在这样主动出击，通过实习、对话和NUN经历获得这些体验，我怀疑在别的地方不可能以同样的方式得到这些。

Like, I don't think I would've had this taken the same initiative and gotten the experiences that I've had through, like, my co op and through my dialogue and my NUN experience, like, I don't think I would have gotten that in the same way.

在别的学校，我不会获得同样的经历。

Like, I wouldn't have gotten that same experience at another school.

之所以在东北大学能实现这些，是因为这里人人都这么做，而且他们非常帮助你，让你能走到今天这一步。

And the reason why it happened at Northeastern is because everyone does it, and they, like, they help you so much get to they help you a lot to get to this point.

所以现在这一切都显得很自然，但如果没有那种推动力，没有被一群充满动力的人包围，我不认为自己能走到今天这个地步。

So now it just feels natural, but, like, I don't if I didn't have the that push or was surrounded by a like big group of motivated people, I don't think that I would have, I wouldn't be the place I am now.

因此，东北大学让课堂之外的学习成为了一种常态。

So Northeastern normalized the idea of learning outside of the classroom.

是的

Yeah.

课堂外的学习

The learning outside of the classroom.

我也在课堂内学到了很多东西

I did learn a lot inside the classroom as well.

看到这一切如何为我串联起来很有趣，但对露西现在来说可能不容易看清楚

It's cool to see how all of it has like connected for me, but probably not super easy for Lucy to look at it now.

我不知道

I don't know.

一半

Halfway.

她还没有

She hasn't.

是的

Yeah.

但好吧。

But Okay.

说到你和露西的差异，或者你们一起在那里的事，我只知道另一对姐妹也上同一所学校。

Speaking of the you and Lucy difference or being there together, you two are I only know one other sister couple that go to the same school together.

意思是，像儿子们那样牵涉到我。

Mean, like Sons involve me.

不。

No.

不。

No.

不。

No.

我只知道另一对姐妹上同一所学校。

I only know one other kind of sisters that go to the same school.

还有娜迪亚，那是你的朋友、你的室友，和她妹妹。

And Nadia, that's your friends, your roommate and her sister.

实际上，你有两个朋友在东北大学也是这种情况。

Actually, have two sis you have two friends like that at Northeastern.

很多人在东北大学都有兄弟姐妹。

A lot of people have Northeastern have siblings.

至少有四五个有兄弟姐妹的人，有年长的也有年幼的。

Least four or five people with siblings, older and younger.

哦，我没有。

Oh, I don't

那除了东北大学之外，你就不认识其他人了。

know anybody else outside of Northeastern then.

是的，我认识。

Yeah, I do.

我的朋友米拉，

My friend, Mira,

还有她哥哥。

and her brother.

哦，是的。

Oh, yeah.

两人都去南加州大学。

Both go to USC.

确实如此。

That is true.

我的意思是，我不确定。

I mean, I don't know.

这并不常见。

It isn't very common.

也许吧，我不知道。

Maybe it's, I don't know.

没那么常见。

It's not that common.

但在这里非常普遍。

It's just very common here.

所以我的问题是，也许你无法对此发表看法，因为东北大学已经让这种情况变得正常了，但你对和兄弟姐妹上同一所学校有什么想法？

So my question, I guess you might not be able to have a perspective on this because it, again, Northeastern has normalized it, but what are your thoughts on going to the same school as your sibling?

我先问露西。

I'll start with Lucy.

我

I

我的意思是，学校很大，我们年级不同，专业也不同。

mean, it's a big school and we're in different years and also we're different majors.

所以是的。

So Yeah.

除了体操之外，我们根本没有交集。

There's no, like, there's no overlap at all besides gymnastics.

所以有体操这一项，但我们的体操生涯一直都是在一起的。

So there's that, but we've been like, we've been doing gymnastics together our whole life.

而且我们整个生命中都在上同一所学校。

So it's and also going to the same school our whole lives.

但然后，是的。

But then Yeah.

所以，这其实没什么大变化，我从来不会偶然碰到她，因为我们不上同样的课，而且很多情况下不会。

So like, it's it's not a big change, but we like, I I don't ever I'm never just running into her because we're not taking the same classes and a lot of No.

因为我的教室和她的教室在不同的楼里。

Like, because my classrooms are in different buildings than hers are in.

我们住的地方也不一样，在不同的区域。

We live in different places, like on different sides.

所以我们只在体操课上见面，或者约了事情才会碰面。

So we're only seeing each other at gymnastics or like if we plan something.

这感觉并不像人们说的那样，好像你和你妹妹上同一所学校是什么了不起的大事。

It's not, it doesn't feel like a, like such a huge, I feel like it's not as big of a deal as people make it seem like, oh, you go to the same school as your sister.

是的。

Yeah.

我同意露西的说法。

I agree with Lucy.

我还要补充一点，我觉得尽管我们只有在计划见面、一起吃饭或参加训练、体操相关活动时才会碰面，但我们还有很多其他共同的朋友，不仅仅是因为她是我的妹妹。

I also, but to add on, I think even though we only run into each other if we like plan to hang out or have dinner or are at practice or gymnastics related things, we have a lot of mutual friends in other ways apart from her just being my sister.

比如，我觉得这跟她所在的姐妹会有关，或者是因为我的朋友知道得太多。

Like, I think, and it's because of her sorority or it's because like my friend knows so much.

所以，这种情况下看到朋友群体中的联系竟然能让我再次遇到露西，确实有点荒谬，简直太奇怪了。

So it's like, it is crazy in that way to see how, like, there's, like, connections within friend groups that could lead me back to Lucy, which is, like, just kinda silly.

这说得对。

That's true.

我们认识一些相同的人。

We know some of the same people.

是的。

Yeah.

我们认识一些相同的人，但并不是因为她介绍给我，或者我介绍给她，我觉得这还挺有趣的。

We know some of the same people and not because, like, she introduced them to me or I introduced them to her, which I think is kind of funny.

但对我来说，我觉得露西来东北大学的时候，我正处于一种——嗯，我到现在还有一点这样，但没那么明显了。

But for me, I feel like I like Lucy came to Northeastern at a time where I was like, just I mean, I'm kinda still in it, but a little bit less.

我只是有点对波士顿感到厌倦了。

I'm just like kinda being sick of Boston.

我当时就像被困在了某个地方，我不知道。

And I was just like stuck in like, I don't know.

我想多陪陪家人，但同时也喜欢待在波士顿。

I wanted to be around family, but also like, liked being in Boston.

当我刚上东北大学时，我们还有姑姑、堂兄弟和叔叔住在纽约，他们离得很近。

And when I started Northeastern, like, still, we still had my aunt and my cousins and my uncle living in New York, so they were really close.

但在我第一年结束后，他们搬走了。

But then after my first year, they left.

所以我觉得自己特别孤立，完全和你们其他人分开了。

So was like, I felt like I was super, I was just super separated from the rest from the rest of you guys.

但当露西来了之后，你就像是有了一小块家人的陪伴，至少在心理上有个依靠。

But then when Lucy came, then it's like, you know, you get have, like, a little piece of like, you have a you have a family member nearby just for sake of comfort.

但并不是说我们经常一起出去玩，甚至经常聊天。

But it's not like we hang out that often or even like chat that often.

是的

Yeah.

昨晚我们一家人吃了周日晚餐。

Well, last night we had family, like Sunday dinner.

嗯

Mhmm.

在秋季学期第三周。

In fall three.

我姐姐问，他们什么时候回家？

My sister was like, when are they coming home?

感觉就像卡梅拉一样。

It feels Carmella.

她问，不是吗？

She's like, isn't it?

他们已经离开很久了。

Like, they've been gone for a really long time.

他们不是应该已经回家了吗？

Shouldn't they be coming home already?

我们连一半都还没到呢。

And we're not even halfway through.

是的。

Yeah.

我们刚刚才走到合作社的一半路程。

Like we just hit our halfway mark through our co op.

是的。

Yeah.

不过我们会在阵亡将士纪念日回家。

Although we are coming home for Memorial Day.

但那原本并不是计划中的。

But that wasn't originally planned.

它

It's

真遗憾。

a shame.

知道。

Know.

我们本来打算七月第一次回家，那可是很久以后了，我不明白今年怎么了。

We were gonna go home like the first time in July, which is a long And I don't know what it is about this year.

我只是觉得，这一切其实早在我去波士顿之前的夏天就开始了。

I just like, it all, it's like started, honestly started in the summer before I even got to Boston.

我当时就已经觉得，我真的好想加州。

I was like already like, I just miss California.

我不知道我是想念加州，还是想念湾区，或者只是想念家人。

And I don't know if I miss California, if I miss the Bay Area or if I just miss family.

但越来越难忍受隔着整个国家生活了。

But like, it's getting harder and harder to like be across the country.

但就像露西一开始说的，现在正是做这件事的完美时机。

But like Lucy said in the beginning, this is like the perfect time to do so.

我的意思是，我不知道什么时候、去哪里上医学院，但你知道的。

I mean, I don't know when and where I'll be going to medical school, but like, you know.

嗯，这是你内心的想法。

Well, I As your mind telling.

我很高兴你们在一起。

I'm glad that you guys are together.

我本来没打算这样，也没特别希望发生，但有几件事。

Makes I my didn't realize that I was gonna I didn't necessarily wish for this to happen, but there's a couple things.

第一，我很高兴娜迪亚对东北大学足够满意，没有给露西丢脸。

One, I was glad that Nadia liked Northeastern enough that she didn't make it look bad for Lucy.

所以露西对去那里感兴趣。

So Lucy was interested in going.

我当时就想，很好。

That I was like, okay, good.

我很高兴娜迪亚喜欢她要去的地方，因为她没有让露西觉得那里不好。

I'm glad Nadia likes where she's going because she's not making it look bad to Lucy.

其次，我没想到你们俩在同一所学校会让我轻松这么多。

And then two, I didn't realize how much easier it would be for me to have you both at the same school.

比如，我不知道寒假或者别的假期该怎么选，到底该去看谁。

Like, I don't know what I would do during spring break or whatever if I had to like pick who I was gonna go visit.

我只需要去一次东海岸，就能见到你们两个。

And I just go once to the East Coast and I get to see both of you.

这真是太好了。

So that's great.

是的。

Yeah.

对。

Yeah.

所以当你们申请的时候，尤其是露西申请的时候，我本来期待能去了解一所不同的学校，但现在你们俩在同一个学校，我真的很高兴。

So I was at when you guys were applying when Lucy was applying, I was looking forward to being able to check out a different school, but now I'm so glad that you guys are at the same school.

是的。

Yeah.

同意。

Agreed.

好的。

Okay.

我要把话题转到另一个方向，就是我们开始录音前正在聊的事情。

I'm gonna take this conversation to another place, which is what we were talking about before we got we started recording.

这个播客最初是围绕与大学生女性相关的健康问题展开的。

And this podcast, you know, originally started out as being something related to like health issues that are meant to college aged women.

实际上，在娜迪亚加入之前，话题是骨盆底问题，然后是大学生女性的健康问题。

Actually, before Nadia came on, it was like pelvic floor issues, and then it was health issues for college aged women.

但现在我们已经拓展到了很多不同的方向，比如大学生的生活方式。

And now we've gone lots of different directions, like lifestyle of college age students.

不过，回到健康这个话题，我们所有人都感到疲惫。

But anyways, going back to the health thing, all of us are tired.

所以我想聊聊这一点，分享一下最近是什么让你感到疲惫，以及你可能想如何应对。

And so I wanted to, talk about that a little bit and share what is making you tired these days and what maybe you might want to do about it.

对我来说，我刚从日本回来，不到一周前，虽然没有时差反应，但我觉得自己出现了延迟性时差疲劳。

For me, I just got back from Japan, less than a week ago and I was not jet lagged, but I feel like I have delayed onset jet lag.

就像过了四天，现在我才感到疲惫。

Like, it's been four days and now I'm tired.

我真的好困。

Like, I'm so sleepy.

我就是想在白天找个时间小睡一会儿，但现在加州时间是早上6点45分。

Like, I just wanna like take a nap in the middle of the day, but, so it is 06:45 in California right now.

我觉得我会在八点左右就去睡觉，这么早就睡。

And I think I'm going go to bed at like eight, like so early.

这就是我要做的应对方式。

And that's what I'm going to do about it.

你呢，露西？

What about you, Lucy?

嗯，我尽量早点睡觉。

Well, I try to go to bed early.

我尽量在十一点前睡觉，但其实也不一定非得这么早。

I try to go to bed before eleven, but I also, don't need to go.

我明天要到办公室上班，但不需要那么早就到。

I'm working in person tomorrow, but I don't need to go in as early.

这样挺好的。

So that's nice.

我刚才想说什么来着？

I won't, what was I saying?

你也不用太早到公司。

You don't have to go in too early.

对啊。

Oh yeah.

我不用太早到，这样就能多睡一会儿了。

I don't need to go in too early, so I'll be able to catch up on some sleep.

我还该做点什么别的呢？

What else am I going to do?

大概就是小睡一会儿。

Probably just going to nap.

那你为什么这么累呢？

Why, why are you so tired though?

这个周末挺忙的。

Well, this weekend was busy.

而且很难受，因为我刚参加完一个比赛，然后整个星期我的朋友们都在实习。

It's also hard because I'm like, had a competition and then it's like hard because throughout the week, all my friends are also on co op.

如果他们没在实习，就在上课，时间都是早上八点到晚上六点，大家都很忙，然后就累了。

And if they're not on co op, they're in classes, but it's like nine, like eight to six, we're all busy and then we're tired.

我们有时候会在星期中做点事、聚一聚，但其实很少。

We're not, sometimes we do stuff throughout the week and we'll hang out, but not really.

所以我们感觉需要在周末补一补社交，要么就计划周末一起出去玩。

So it feels like we need to catch up on hanging out or we make plans and do things over the weekend.

所以周末不是放松，反而跟上班周一样忙，只是我老是忘了自己在说什么。

So instead of relaxing over the weekend, it's like, it's just as busy as during the week, but it's, I keep forgetting what I'm saying.

就是一样忙。

It's just as busy.

平时也一样忙，但做的事情挺有趣的。

It's, It's just as busy through the week, but it's with fun stuff.

所以也不是那种烦人的忙，我就是一直很忙。

So it's not like annoying, like I'm busy all the time, but it's just like, I'm busy all the time.

所以没什么时间。

So there's not a lot of time.

没什么空闲时间。

There's not a lot of downtime.

我其实挺惊讶你给我发了消息。

Well, I did get surprised to get a text message from you.

凌晨三点三十分，波士顿时间。

03:30AM, Boston time.

所以这可能就是你退出的原因。

So that might've been why you retired.

那是什么时候？

When was that?

星期六。

Saturday.

是

Was

所以是周日早上，周日早晨。

so Sunday long morning, Sunday morning.

那些是星期六早上。

Those were Saturday morning.

星期六

Saturday

早上。

morning.

周五晚上。

Friday night.

你当时在兄弟会。

You were at a frat.

那也可能就是那样。

That could be it too.

星期六晚上或者说是星期五晚上这样很平常，我。

It's pretty normal for a Saturday night or I mean a Friday For a Friday night and I'm

兄弟会派对会开到凌晨三点吗？

Frat parties go until three in the morning?

不，不。

No, no.

不。

No.

嗯，我参加过兄弟会派对，但我们有朋友。

Well, I was at a frat party, but we have, we have friends.

我本来想去，那是个派对后的活动。

I would like went to, it was like an after thing.

我直到凌晨三点才到兄弟会的房子，但我们只是待在一起。

Like I wasn't at the frat house until three in the morning, but we were just hanging out.

那你呢，娜迪亚？

What about you, Nadia?

你最近为什么这么累？

Why are you tired these days?

我觉得一天或一周的时间根本不够做我想做的事。

I feel like there's not enough time in the day or the week to do the things that I wanna do.

所以我感觉，呃，我不确定。

So I feel like, like I, I don't know.

我总是觉得有太多事情要做。

I just always feel like I have so much to do.

然后我就去

And then I go

上班，朝九晚五做我的事。

to work and I'm like nine to five doing my stuff.

我根本没法同时处理工作之外那些我不愿完成的事情。

Can't really multitask and do the things outside of work that I hate to accomplish.

虽然我确实会尝试，但其实我不该这么做。

Although I do try, but I shouldn't.

然后我还有训练。

And then I have practice.

我们这个周末有个比赛。

We have, we had a meet this weekend.

我想和朋友出去玩，也确实和朋友出去了。

Like I wanna hang out with my friends and I go out with my friends.

我连小憩的时间都没有，因为一睡醒我就心情烦躁。

I don't even have time for a nap because when I wake up from the nap, I'm just grumpy.

我确实参与了很多事情。

I'm I'm involved involved in in Yeah.

有太多事情需要完成，感觉一天的时间根本不够用。

There's just like a lot of things that need to get accomplished and it feels like there's not enough time in the day.

但我其实也在积极地和朋友聚会，做那些我总是会做的有趣事情，而这对我的睡眠习惯并没有什么帮助。

But I'm also like actively trying to hang out with my friends and like, you know, do the fun things that I always do, which is not super helpful for my sleeping habits.

我也非常擅长不睡够觉，而且即使没必要也总是早早醒来。

I'm also just very good at not getting a lot of sleep and also waking up early when I don't have to.

但这周特别难熬，因为我们的比赛是在周六。

But this week was just particularly hard because our competition was on Saturday.

我的意思是，周日和昨晚我根本不想今天去上班。

I mean, Sunday and I just like last night did not, I just did not wanna go to work today.

我只是没心情。

I was just not in the mood.

所以今天早上我醒来时，不是心情不好，而是根本不想去上班的状态。

So then today I woke up just in a bad, not in a bad mood, just like not in the mindset to be going to to be going to work.

所以一整天都过得有点浑浑噩噩，现在我们就在这里了。

So the rest of the day was just kinda, And so now here we are.

但，是的。

But, yeah.

我只是觉得我总是在忙这忙那。

I just feel like I'm I'm always busy doing something.

而且并不是大多数事情都是好事，即使是我待办清单上的事，但我也说不清楚。

And not that most of the things are good things, even if it is like stuff on my to do list, but I don't know.

根本没有休息的时间。

There is, there's no time for downtime.

现在都快四月了，我就是——我真的很焦虑。

And now it's almost April, so I'm get- I'm just like, I'm just stressed.

这就引出了那个显而易见的问题。

Which brings up the elephant in the room.

什么？

What?

Nads，你的MCAT复习进展如何？

How was your MCAT studying going, Nads?

糟透了。

Horrible.
