Being a Metu Student

BEING A STUDENT IN METU

    I am sophomore in METU. Firstly, I wanna mention about the load of our lectures.We already studied so much at high school.As this is not enough, We try to overcome in such a heavy course.Particularly in the first term, like every students,I had academical, social and psychological hardships.To be honest, I wish ı had studied and grade-grubbed less. But this did not happen. I supposed we would have lots of time for outdoor and indoor activities and university would be different from high school like universities in the TV series.But we do not have enough time to participate in communities which include just METU students because of heavy lessons.Instead of joining these activities, most of us would like to rest at their dormitories apart from studying. In that respect,METU does not satisfy me.However, campus life is awesome thing in METU.Lush grass, bushy forrest and historical buildings can be seen at everywhere.They all give me spring time flavor that we almost never know here.Since I am Aegean people,I admire sunny weather and ı hate cloud, rain, dry cold.So the muggy weather in campus makes me depressed.
    Like most of the young people, I stayed in the family nest before coming here.I was so happy at that time.Because staying at home affects my life positively in terms of economics.While I was living with family,I had fewer expenses.But now I have a very large expenditure.As this is not enough, I do not know how the money is spent sparingly here.
    Additionally, since I began to live at dormitories without my parents,sister and my little nephew:(.I have missed them so much.Also, living in dorms has a lot of difficulties.For example, I have to stay in the same room with three people other than myself.I need to plan my sleep and wake time according to their forms of life.However, dorm life is not always a bad influence on me.Because I had no idea about cooking before I began to live alone.Then I discovered that I am good at cooking as housewives:)
     Briefly, being a METU student gives us so many opportunities for the rest of our life.Because METU makes students reliable, diligent, explorer, ambitious, forward-looking,considerate and accomplished.Despite some difficulties, being a metu student is a priviledge and a distinguished feature from other university students for me.
