Mornings on a college campus are ... let's say .. significantly slower paced than a typical afternoon on campus. And while many students sleep in or otherwise let their days get off to a slow start, you can capitalize on the unusually un-busy campus in ways that prove extremely beneficial. So just how can you utilize mornings in college in ways that are productive but also enjoyable?

　　大学校园的早晨······这么说吧，它明显比午后时光的节奏更慢。然而许多同学或是沉入梦乡，或是懒洋洋地地度过一整天，你可以好好利用没有平时那么拥挤的校园，事实证明它将会对你十分有益。所以，怎样才能利用好校园的早晨，使其给你带来收获和欢乐呢?

　　1. Sign up for a class on a topic you really love. Getting up for an 8:00 a.m.

　　报名参加一个你喜欢的培训班。早上八点就可以起床。

　　class that you aren't excited about but have to take can be challenging. Getting up for a 9:00 a.m. class that you really love, however, can be a great way to start the day. Treat yourself to some tea or coffee and settle in two or three mornings a week to learn about something you have a passion for.

　　参加你不感兴趣却又不得不去的培训班确实是一件充满挑战的事。但是，起床参加一个你喜欢的九点钟的培训班则是开启新一天超棒的方式。你可以喝点咖啡或茶，每周去两三次，学习一些你感兴趣的知识。

　　If you aren't sure which class to pick, ask around for something taught by a great professor, in an engaging way, on an interesting topic, and without a burdensome homework or reading load.

　　如果你不确定该参加什么培训班，可以打听一下优秀的老师都开了什么课，有哪些课上课方式吸引人、主题有趣、或是没有沉重的课业或阅读负担。

　　2. Get some exercise. The campus gym is likely packed in the afternoons and evenings. But in the mornings, you might have better luck getting some time on your favorite machine or in your favorite yoga class. Similarly, going for an early (or even semi-early) morning run or walk outside can be invigorating and a great way to see and interact with your campus in a new way. After all, when's the last time you were able to move around campus freely without really seeing anyone else around? Additionally, starting your morning off with a work-out can make you feel pretty dang awesome for the rest of the day.

　　锻炼。学校的体育馆在下午或晚上 可能就已经关闭了。但在早上，你可能会幸运地用上你最喜欢的运动器材，或是参加最喜欢的瑜伽课。同样地，早起(或者稍微晚点)去外面跑步或散步会使你精力充沛，而且也是你畅游校园的一个充满新意的好方法。毕竟，你可以自由地畅游校园，而且无需留意周边的人的机会不多。除此之外，晨练可以使你在一天其他的时间里都充满活力。

　　3. Use the quiet for some quality study/homework time. It can be hard to study and read -- and really focus on doing so -- when the campus is at its peak hustle and bustle. What takes you 2 or 3 hours to get through when you're fighting distraction might only take you 1 or 2 hours to do when you're really able to focus, calmly, in the quiet.

　　利用这段安静的时间来学习或做功课。当校园最喧闹的时候，要想学习、阅读和集中注意力是非常困难的。在你与分心作斗争时，可能会花上2-3小时来完成任务。但如果你在一个安静的环境集中注意力的话，可能只需要1-2小时。

　　Head to a coffee shop, common area, or other place where you can enjoy the campus and get some serious studying done.

　　你可以去咖啡厅、公共场所或其他能够使你欣赏校园并认真学习的地方。

　　4. Get your work hours out of the way. While students might not be up and running first thing in the morning, many campus departments are. If you have a campus job, see if you can work in the morning hours. You're likely to not be as busy as, say, if you were to work during the afternoon -- which can mean you have a chance to multitask productively. (And who wouldn't want to be paid for being at work while also getting some reading done during the slow periods?)

　　起来工作。虽然许多学生不会一早起来去做某件事，但学校许多部门可不是这样。如果你在做校园兼职，看看自己能不能在早上工作。你工作起来可能不会像中午那么忙，这样你就可以做很多事情了。(谁不想一边得到工作，一边还能在人少的时候做做阅读呢?)

　　5. Sleep! Never underestimate harmful effects of sleep deprivation. Even if you have ambitious goals for all the things you want to get done during the morning hours on campus, getting enough rest should rank pretty high on your priority list. Let yourself sleep in every once in a while (without missing class, of course), as being rested can make you more productive throughout the day. Even your brain needs a break every once in a while!

　　休息!绝对不要小看缺乏睡眠的危害。即使你早上有很多事情要在学校完成，也要把获得充足的睡眠放在第一位。每隔一段时间就要休息(当然，不能缺勤)，因为休息可以在一天里做事更有效率。即使是你的大脑，也需要隔段时间就休息一下。
