25张图告诉你留学美国必知常识，送给即将上路的你

后申请季的你是否觉得万事大吉了，只欠offer了？可留学这条路哪有这么简单，小编我赌一罐旺仔牛奶，你从来没离开父母独自生活1个月以上，而面对着即将离家万里，告别父母和朋友，你是否揣揣不安，满心期盼。

你们眼里的美国人

This pretty much sums up what most people think of Americans:

别惧怕期盼与现实的差异

Don’t take it personally; instead take pride in defying expectations.

到达之前，学几句有用的俚语。

Learn a few key phrases before you leave.

带的没用，用的没带。

You will never actually wear all the stuff you packed.

黄金原则：背包好看，东西轻巧。

So get a good backpack and pack light.

把你所有的包和所属物标上姓名和电子邮箱（因为手机可能会跪）

Clearly mark all of your bags with your name and email address (since your phone number will likely be out of service).

别去找Skype，这个软件才是你的好基友。

Trying to get a decent Skype connection is an actual joke; this app is your new best friend.

把重要的人，地址，联系方式上传到云上，i cloud掩护你！

Store important names, addresses, and phone numbers in i cloud so in case you lose all of your crap, you’re covered.

确保你的卡不收巨额跨国手续费。

Make sure your credit card doesn’t come with any crazy international fees.

用apple pay来保管你的信用卡也是一个好主意。

Download the free Apple Wallet app to safely store all your credit card information.

没事看看汇率，了解理财系统。

Learn the money system ASAP to avoid any confusion.

“嘀” 请拿好你的学生卡。

Get your International Student Identity Card (ISIC) before you leave and save money on transportation, accommodations, and entertainment.

别蠢到出去浪的时候把护照丢在宿舍。

There is nothing worse than losing your passport — leave it in your room when you’re going out for the night.

珍爱公交，远离吃土。

Pretty much every country has better public transportation than America. Take advantage of it.

别完了停下脚步，看看这个世界。

Spend your weekends traveling — don’t miss the opportunity to explore everything your new country has to offer.

如果你迷路了，记得问本地人，带一个小地图来方便他们指路。

If you’re lost, ask a local for help, but always keep a simple map on hand so they can point you in the right direction.

既然已经累成狗，随地睡吧。

Prepare to sleep anywhere.

小枕头和眼罩，和熊猫眼更搭哦。

But pack an eye mask and an inflatable pillow to save yourself some restless nights.

记得尝尝黑暗料理，说不定哪天就找到了真爱。

Try new foods even if they sound weird. You’ll have a new favorite dish in no time.

巧克力酱？花生酱？榛子酱？别管了，拥抱它们。

Embrace Nutella as your peanut butter substitute.

别去low格的美式酒吧，除非。。。。👇。

Avoid cheesy American-style bars. Unless you want to see a lot of this:

不如和当地人喝喝酒，交些朋友

Instead drink with the locals and make some new friends.

无意路过的风景也许会很美丽。

Remember that getting lost is oftentimes the best thing that can happen.

虽然跌跌撞撞，懵懵懂懂，但你突然发现也能照顾好自己。

And remember despite the many bumps, bruises, and terrible mistakes you will inevitably make, at the end of the day, you’ll find you can actually take care of yourself.

所以。。。青春岁月，尽情享受。

因为。。。世界在等你。
