I'm going to see the world
In September 2015, Shen Yujie, who had been studying in Hong Kong for a year, boarded a plane to Canada with full of loneliness and infinite curiosity. What awaited her there was a five-year study and an experience of exploring the wider world.
In May 2019, her college years ended in a state of laughter.
During her four years of study at the University of British Columbia, she majored in psychology and minored in business. When asked why she chose psychology as a major, she said: "When I chose a major, I seemed to think more about where my interests were. Where is my curiosity? I am very interested in the human psyche, because the psychological state of man has a great influence on his words and deeds." How exactly does a person's psychological state affect people's words and deeds? With this question, she began to study psychology, and after mastering psychological knowledge such as social psychology, cognitive psychology, and developmental psychology, she had a deeper understanding of the people and things around her, so she also had more tolerance.
Through the process of getting along with people, she also truly understands herself through the eyes of others.
Studying psychology allows her to understand people, which is driven by Shen Yujie's full interest, and minoring in business allows her to integrate into society and better understand the operation of society.
"I also feel that while following my own curiosity, I must also be in line with this society," Shen Yujie said.

"If I want to go to politics, I want to go to government for an internship. I'm interested in the travel industry again, and I want to go to a travel company for an internship...".
"College is the best time to explore myself, so I tried it across disciplines," Shen said. In 2017, Shen Yujie went to the government department for an internship with his love and enthusiasm for politics. During her internship, she studied regional policy trends through research data and field visits, and assisted in writing government development reports in various fields such as economy, culture, education, and science and technology.

Make friends with the world and be ignorant of yourself
In the film of life, friends are an indispensable part and an important supporting role, because with them, the film of life can be more brilliant and wonderful. In Shen Yujie's work and internship, friends play a pivotal role. Part of her internship experience is obtained by submitting her own resume, while the other part is pushed by friends.

They encourage each other and make progress together.

Make friends in growth, in exploration, and broaden your horizons in communicating with others.

For the current topic of college students' examination and employment, confusion and growth, Shen Yujie said: "Confusion, I think it is a stage that everyone may experience, the key is to have the courage to try, because many of your experiences and insights are actually from actual experience."
For students who like academic research, Shen Yujie also said that there is a specialization in the art industry. Competing for graduate school VS employment, Shen Yujie said, "First of all, we must understand what is the purpose of our own examination and research? At the same time, she also said that for students of different majors, they have different grasps of their future development. After you understand your future development direction, you are deciding whether to go to graduate school or employment. "Some jobs it may be more focused on your academic qualifications. But there are also some jobs that pay more attention to your comprehensive quality and work experience, so everyone must think according to their own profession and actual situation, and the most important point is that I am willing, I do not regret the decision I made," Shen Yujie said.
"Time is complete, and you watch them unfold majestically from dawn to dusk; every day is like a flower, like a rose, budding, blooming, not withering away from chagrin but accepting the process of nature"

The process of life, whether it is Yangchun white snow or green vegetables and tofu, is your precious experience. Every step of life is a necessary path, no matter what choices you make, the experience that comes with that choice will actually bring you growth.
"So looking back now, it seems that there is nothing to regret, and every step can bring growth to yourself." And I think that there is no so-called right or wrong choice, because it is just different experiences and different experiences, all of which allow themselves to experience this life, so I think as long as it is myself who makes the decision, not my parents, nor the school, nor the society, but where I am making a decision, I am willing, I will not regret it," Shen Yujie said.
