At
METU, I have experienced some challenges so far. These things have affected my
school life. First of all, I have met a new climate and environment. These
things need a long time to get accustomed. Because I am from Black sea region,
it is hard to cope with the dry air for me. While I was trying to get used to
the climate and the environment, I could not focused on my studies. But,
besides this, I want to touch on the campus. The campus of METU fascinates me
very much. It has a huge land and a huge
forest. I need something like that because I grew up in a village. At least,
the campus helps me get used to here. Another challenge for me is hardship of
studying. We have always answered test questions in high school years. This working
made us sleepy and we forgot how to study the real things. Here I cannot study
enough for my academic career. The high school was not good for me actually. But,
at least, I found something in high school: listening music is good for me to
study. Music helps me in every aspect. While studying, I listen to music. It keeps
me from the disturbance of others. It relaxed me. It helps me get used to
everything. Music is my best friend.

REVISED JOURNAL ENTRY: THE REAL ONE
THE REAL ONE
A university should provide
everything a student can need. There should not be any missing element. Student
should be able to find what they need easily. In this way, the university can school
perfect individuals. One of these things a student needs is social elements. Social
elements help student make progress. If student focuses on academic career,
he/she fails in time. If a car does not take its gas, it stop when gas run out.
Student is like that, too. If he/she does not participate in some social
activities regularly, he/she cannot go on his/her career, the road he/she needs
to take. social elements can be divided into two part; sport activities and the
activities with friends(dating, gathering somewhere, parties etc.). There
should be sport halls in the campus. Student should be able to access these sorts
of things easily. While some students want do sport, some others can want to
promenade with friends. There should be places that student can wander or sit
and talk or do something with friends. A university should provide these ones. Another
group of needs is academic elements. Student needs to go on his/her academic
education. A university should provide a perfect education for its students. The
student should be educated for their career in a perfect manner, not just
enough to find a job. Besides that, a university should give the student what
he/she wants. Each student can want different career and university should be
capable of that. It should be able to provide all career types for students. It
can be said that METU has some of these elements. It has sport halls, cafes and
a stadium to meet. But there could be a picnic site for students. METU also has
a good education. It has better academicians than most of other universities have.
It leads its students to an academic career. It can be said METU is good for
us.
