You must have made tons of great friends and had many exciting experiences. Im writing because I want to tell you a few things I wish Id known when I was in your position. It might not seem like it, but the choices you make now affect the rest of your life. Do you want to spend your boring life, counting the minutes until the end of the day? Start looking now and youll be better off. Waiting too long to find mine was a huge mistake. I chose an easy employable major. I thought Id be happy doing anything that paid well. Consequently, I set myself back a couple years by wasting this opportunity. Now Im sweating my guts out to catch up. Youll meet a thousand dead ends, but finding the right path is priceless. There is a lot more to success than having the best grades and there is a lot more to having a great time than partying nonstop. By being one dimensional (方面的), you cut yourself off from meeting people with different views. If you focus on grades, you wont realize there are many smart people who dont get good grades. And success is built on more than following the professors instructions. It took me long to learn that partying nonstop is just dull. So dont miss a great opportunity to meet interesting people and discover what really makes you happy. I hope this letter inspires you to make the most of your college experience and avoid my mistakes. By being smart now, youll save yourself time and hardship later.

They will sometimes go to look for the perfect pair of shoes to wear only once with the perfect outfit or the fashion of the day. Once worn, these fashionable designer shoes may spend weeks, months, or years in the closet without being worn again until another special occasion comes up. With that said, are expensive designer shoes really worth their cost? Historically, shoes were invented to free feet from sharp rocks, hot sands, and blisters. Shoes were made to be simple and functional, with tough leather soles and straps. As society became more sophisticated (复杂的), the role of shoes changed; shoes were made to add status to the wearer. Shoe designers began to work on the production of fashion shoes for the wealthy; shoes meant more for show than for practical use or simplicity. Good shoemakers became well known and printed symbols on their shoes, so people could recognize the maker of that particular design. Designer shoes were thus born. Many women develop serious problems with their feet after wearing these designer shoes during the workday and the medical costs for dealing with these problems can get very high. Some popular makers of designer shoes have been working towards combining comfort and practical use into their shoes, but it has been noted that women still go for style, beauty and uniqueness above everything else. So to answer the question as to whether or not designer shoes are worth the cost, the answer is certainly yes, but be smart and invest in a pair of comfortable, not so stylish shoes for the days when you stay outdoors for hours! They can also be very expensive, but I can surely say that they are worth the cost.40. When shoes were first made, their main use was to _.

The launch comes just weeks after Chinas regional competitor Japan put a probe into orbit around the moon in a great step forward for Asias undeclared space race.
