The day of writing the paper (17) l temporarily ended

(edited)

Before I knew it, I had been away from my student status for nearly two months, and I never thought that the "Days of Writing Papers" series would take so long to write. From the period of "graduate" to the period of "new people in society", I always feel that there is no end, but at this moment I feel as if it can come to an end.

When I started this series of essays, in addition to expressing the pain of writing papers at that time and sharing my own experiences and ideas, because I have also experienced many years of writing papers, I want to say that I want to leave a mark on my research career. . Although I should not apply for graduate school in a short period of time, I will continue to engage in research in the future, but I should manage it as a hobby without investing too much time.

There was a time when I regretted my choice to do research. I remember when I was in my senior year, nearing graduation, lying on my dorm bed one day, thinking about my four-year college career. Although I also briefly participated in clubs and department activities, almost half of the time was spent in a smoky academic environment. Compared with those students who are engaged in clubs, entrepreneurship, and interpersonal relationships, their college career seems monotonous and boring. I even feel that I lack motivation to expand more possibilities because of the long-term expectation of being in the research laboratory, which seems to be a waste of college time. with resources.

Even so, but also because I started to get in touch with research, I feel that I have become more rigorous in the logic of thinking about things. I remember that in my freshman year of a certain class report, I also had to write a small paper. Then I just wrote in the way I felt comfortable, and I was criticized by my classmates for not knowing what I was doing. But after entering the research lab, I found that I knew better how to write reports and how to express my logic better than the average classmates. I also thought that if I hadn't joined the research lab, maybe I'd be just a student with no specialties except for spending time in the classroom and living in the dormitory every day; What, so confused.

Until the time of the research institute, in the process of doing research, I gradually established my attitude and way of dealing with things. For example, I used to speak more directly, or I thought I had said it clearly, but I didn’t know that the other party couldn’t receive it at all, causing misunderstanding. But after studying with Professor Feng, I feel that I know how to express my point of view in a gentler and clearer way. Sometimes when I find that there is a gap in communication between myself and others, I can also catch the difference in the position and logic of the two sides in communication to avoid misunderstanding.

Although my research career is temporarily over, the various abilities I have built during my thesis writing period are, I think, an important asset for me in the future. But I have to say that the days of getting rid of the nightmare of research have been super cool!
