                                 DELETE FROM THE START

             Would you like to delete some memories in  your mind?How would it become?Would it be very good to get rid of something which you do not want to remember?You will not feel as if you have ever lived these things.Would you want to try this if there was such an opportunity?Think about it.

         At first,I think it sounds like something good.We people,usually remember bad things we have lived in our lives.Everybody has hard times in certain periods of their lives.Maybe,it would be good to not remember these hard times but I am not sure.We can not remove people or  places because we just have bad moments with them.Maybe,we also had beautiful moments with them and these moments were the most beautiful moments we have lived.Will we give up these beautiful moments in order to get rid of only bad things?From another aspect,we may have had today's position thanks to bad things which we lived.Maybe,if they did not become ,our lives could go to another direction.Our lives might change so I do not know about it.I think we must not do such things we are really not sure.Such decisions are radical and we can not go back if we regret.Think about it.

        I want to talk about a film which is called ''delete from the start''.Its original name is 'Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind'.Its leading artists are Jim Carrey(Joel Barish) and Kate Winslet(Clementine Kruczynski).I will tell you its topic.Joel Barish ,who get a pretty amazing news from his lover he is with for two years,try to remind their relationship to his lover who are involved in a technological experimentation.Barish gets angry with this event and he does the same thing,too.While the man's memory is deleted and when it comes to experienced beautiful things,he wants to stop intervention on him.He regrets.

        It is very good film.I liked it very much.If you watch it,you understand me easily.Watch and think about it.

                                    BEING A STUDENT AT METU
   
           Before I came here,METU,I had thought METU was a wonderful university.I used to want to earn METU excessively.Because it was said a lot of things about METU,I liked it.I thought a lot of things would change in my life when I earned METU.That was not only why I wanted to earn METU but it was also Ankara.I had never been in Ankara.I had not seen Ankara before but I liked it .I wondered it very much.It sounds very strange but it was.
           Now,I am at METU.I think METU is not like I have thought at first.For the time being,I do not like METU like the first thought.I say I wish I did not come here.Nothing is not like the thing I am waiting.Everything is very hard here.There are reasons for this.First,I did not like Ankara.It has very strange weather.Although it is hot during the day,it is too cold in the evening.Actually I like winter and I like snow but  I think it will be extremely here.Then, this city is far away from my city,Salihli.I miss my family very much.I am staying at dormitory but it is far away from everywhere.There are not the minibuses at sometimes when I go out the school.So,I have to walk everywhere I want to go.Actually,I regret that I chose this department because I feel as if this department does not belong to me.I am not happy.

                                           UNIVERSITY FOR ME

        University for me must be complete with everything.There are a lot of things for this.For istance,I think a campus must be in a university.The areas on the campus must be green.The buildings of the universitymay have a meaning.They can be aesthetic.
        For students,there must be laptops,proper dormitories,many laboratories,internet and a very good library.The students must be able to attain everything they want.The university must provide various facilities for students.They must make travel easy.The food costs must be low for students.The students must be provided with various scholarships.
         There must be academics who have time for students,who have fame around the world.The prelectors must be evaluated by students.The prelectors whose communication is bad must not give a lecture.
         The students must be given various projects.The university must work actively after the students graduate from there.
         Middle East Technical University have many of these characteristics.The areas are green but I am not liking the buildings.There are a lot of benefits for students but I think they must be developed a bit.I do not like some dormitories.Some of them are inadequate.All dormitories are not equal.The rooms in some of them are too narrow.There are not laboratories in some of them.The wardrobes and beds are old.
        I like the library because it is really very big.There are many books in every field.The transport is not good because I can not find any minibus every time.Additionally,everything is expensive for students.For the time being,the rest looks good.

TEST ANXIETY

    Test anxiety mostly results from the personal structures of parents.Some parents are very anxious and distressed.They think that the child who goes to school will be in trouble.This anxiety of parents often passes to the child.

   Some parents are perfectionist,rigorous and prim.They are intolerant.As they know the most accurate one,they expect others to abide by this rules.They want to decide how,what and when their child will study.They think their child will not achieve if he does not study in the way they decide.In other words,they struggle to control their child's life completely.On the contrary,this may cause the child to behave conversely.

   Some parents are in dreams to being the most beautiful,handsome and successful.They want their child to be like that.If it does not happen,they may be disappointed.They see their child's success as their own success.This is a source of concern for the child.

  Some parents'self-confidence is low.How well the child prepare for exam,both parents and child can not live the comfort of being ready.Moreover,people like this have high expectations.

     Some parents are shy.They think about things which society says and they live for this.They are afraid of doing wrong something because they are afraid of being ashamed in society.They reflect these fears to the child.They want   their child not to be ashamed.

                                     LIVING THE MOMENT

      Let's think the baby who is in the first period of his life.Firstly,it is wondered when he will get walking and talking skills.When he walks a little,he  is sent to kindergarten or primary school.He finds himself in the marathon test when he is at the end of primary school age.When he starts going to high school,it is wondered whether he passes the university exams or not.When he passes the exams,the arguments about vocational and university preferences start.When he finishes the university,it is expected that he must find a good job.Then,he has to join the army.He is expected to marry and when he marries,he is asked to have a baby.Even if he has a baby,pressures will never finish.

        This situation is so common in a large part of society that it causes to forget that the life which we live in belongs to us and we are free about our choices.While we are running through the endless targets with values of the society,neither can we understand values of what we have,nor we can give enough value to our people we like.We postpone our dreams and suppress our longing.When we aware of this situation,we will have come to the end of our life.

        We must learn to live without postponing our dreams because tomorrow may be very late to recover time that we lose.

                      BEATING TO MEMATI'S MURDERER

             Rating race that has been increasing among televisions recently causes     irreparable harms on young people.Tv serials which include violence make bad     effects on young people who are in the age of development.Young people  reflect to their own behavior and attitude by acting like heroes of these tv serials.Particularly,young people who grow in environment that includes communication problems within family are directly affected from uncontrolled and unsupervised tv serials.

         A group of people beats an actor for he kills a person who is liked  by these people on tv serial.It is evident that people are affected by tv serials.No people can say that they are not affected by tv serials.This is acceptable for not only young people but also adults.There are good and bad people on tv serials.We see as if bad people were bad in real life and good people were good in real life.So,we do not like or like those people in real life.I could never understand that.How can people confuse a scenario with real life?People just act on tv serials.Is it hard to see that for people except from young people?If they are unable to do this distinction,they will not watch tv serials because almost all tv serials today include violence or bad things.

         Tv serials must be televised after they are controlled by experts.For this ,legal regulation must be created.We must not watch each tv serial because we can undertand its topic immediately.We must object to these tv serials.Only in this way,these tv serials can decrease because they do not draw attention.We must aware of this issue for our children's health.
