We recently asked netizens to tell us the best post-grad advice they've ever received. Here's what they had to say:

最近，我们向网友做了个调查：大学毕业后，你收到的最好的建议是什么。以下是他们给出的答案：

1. Your major doesn't have to define who you are in life.

你所学的专业并不能决定你人生的方向。

"As a liberal arts degree holder, the best advice I received from my dean was that my major didn't define who I had to be in life." — Es Tee Smith, Facebook

“作为一名文科毕业生，我从系主任那儿得到的最佳建议是：我的专业并不能决定我未来人生的方向。” ——埃斯·T·史密斯，脸书

2. The only thing you have to be is yourself.

你唯一要做的就是做你自己。

"The best advice I ever received came from '90s pop god, Ethan Hawke, in Reality Bites: 'Honey, the only thing you have to be by the age of 23 is yourself.'"— courtneys61

“我收到过的最好建议来自于90年代的流行巨星伊桑·霍克，他在电影《四个毕业生》中说：“亲爱的，在23岁之前，你唯一要做的就是做真实的自己。”——

3. Put on your big girl pants.

别耍小孩脾气，成熟点。

"My sassy grammy said, 'Alex, you just gotta put on your big girl pants, put on some lipstick, and accomplish your dreams. You got this baby girl. No one can hold you down. And if they try to, give them a swift kick in the ass.'" — alexandralmarth

“我时髦的祖母说过：'亚历克斯，你最好穿得成熟些，擦点儿口红，去实现你的梦想。你不再是小女孩的样子，就没有人能阻止得了你。如果他们想要这么做，你也应该一脚把他们踢开。'”——alexandralmarth

4. You have to jump.

你一定要跳下去。

"You're going to jump alone, with no one else beside you. But you're GONNA jump. Just remember you don't jump the same as everyone else. Your timeline isn't theirs. They might land a big dream job in a month, and maybe you'll get yours a year from now, or even 10 years. But you will get there. First though, you have to jump." — MelisCapozio
