From Campus To The Community

This paper is concerned with the questions of the school-to-work transition as these are experienced by the contemporary college students.There is a kind of mood that is nostalgia for the past lives in campus pervading among the contemporary college students, especially the senior college students and the undergraduates who attend work for short time. They are different from the former youth generations. The difference between generations exhibits that the contemporary college students not only express their feelings and perception spontaneously by the Internet technology, but also spread and share them among the same generation who possess the same experience and will produce resonance.Based on theories on socialization, life-course and youth transition, this paper presents a case study of a class BBS, which encompasses a range of complex transitional themes and characterizes with distinct ways to go through the transitional phase of life. Case study enables us to know and understand the process and nature of the youth transition more directly, clearly and deeply.This paper concludes by reflecting on the case that this youth transition is marked with two features. The first is the purchase of stable identity and self-value determines young people's mood state and strategies. The second is the subculture of peer is formed around the self-value. The subculture provides emotional backup force for young people who have encountered transitional problems.
