Outside the classroom, Wei Yu also cherished the opportunity organized by the college to observe and learn the practical operation of industrial design masters to further improve her professional skills. At the same time, she also actively participated in the NCDA National College digital art design skills competition, taking this opportunity to practice her practical ability.

After her sophomore year, after further contact with professional courses, Wei Yu had higher requirements for her future development. Once, in the daily chat with the counselor, Mr. Yang, we were asked about her future plan.

Wake up at 6:30, memorize words at 7:20, organize notes at 8:40, have lunch at 11:30... According to her schedule, Wei Yu stuck to it for 10 months. Because there is a dream in the heart, so the foot is strong. Wei says she likes to do things in a planned way, which reduces anxiety and insecurity about the future.
