''DIFFERENT'' BUİLDERS

We needed a house where we could live our second life.Therefore,we wore our pink clothes which symbolize a group in perfect harmony and embarked on creating our virtual home.No matter how hard it was to be able to start building for us,we settled down to work by a division of labour.Firstly,we got together in the area which Sedat Akayoğlu-the land owner- chose for us to set up our home.Next,one of us built the bottom of the house and every other ones made the walls of it through a good effort.Although we had difficulty in making the parts compatible with each other,we could finish it in a perfect way by a roof which was last part of it.The last thing to have something with it was to dye it.We decorated it with bright colors as we liked.It was well worth getting tired and had a place to live ,which really made us excited and happy...

IF YOU WANT TO BE HAPPY,BE.

Did you make mistakes?Did you have terrible experiences?Whatever they are, you should let them go.There's nothing you can do about the past.So you'd better focus your energy on the present.You can only be happy if you become who you are.Don't live other people's life by trying to meet their expectations.People may expect you to have certain job or certain way of living but don't intimidated by them.Find who you are and be yourself.Being happy is easy if we are grateful.Unfortunately,seeing what we don't have is often easier than seeing what we have.Sometimes, we need to experience loss before appreciating what we have.Look at what you have and soon you will have plenty of reasons to be happy.Know how to control your mind and don't let negative thoughts come in.No matter how bad a situation seems, there is always something positive to take from it.To be happy you should have freedom and the most essential freedom is the freedom to choose.Freedom to choose requires the courage to take responsibility for your life.You shouldn't blame someone else when something goes wrong.You should use your talents to the fullest.Using your talents fully will make you even happier because of the saticfaction of doing your best.The way to be happy is make other happy first.Happiness doesn't come through selfishness but through selflessness.These are timeless secrets of happiness.Remember that it's you who decide whether or not you are happy in life.

'' METUZONE''

METU embodies every kind of students you can imagine.They can be categorized into main two groups in terms of sociability because of the difficulty of handling all perspectives.These groups are sociable ones that enjoy meeting and talking to other people and unsocial ones that don't want to be with people and spend their full time shuttling between school and home or dormitory besides focusing their profession.The social groups enjoy joining a club with lots of social events which improves their social life and get them off the stress of daily life.They allocate time to many activities by knowing that they'll see their benefits in later times.The other ones avoid forming relationships with other people and think that sparing time to social actions rather than studying is a waste of time.May be they afraid of not being able to accomplish or taking any responsibilities.As a result,you came a university like METU,enjoy it:D

why second life ??

The reasons why people are using SL can be categorized in two types.The first type is for educational or vocational purposes.These people are generally busy and don't have time to talk with anyone when you want to have a chat with them.The second one ,he/she are invited to try it by his/her another friend,in that,for fun, spending her/his free time or meeting new people and talking with them as they get better in time.As you can see,using second life gives to people many opportunities in related to their lifestyles.

THE PEACE

Hi,
First of all,i want to say that i'm in a place where i always imagine living forever.Actually,what fascinates me is the colourful flowers and trees in everywhere.There is such a nice stream that it reflects the perfect harmony of green and blue, so does sky.I'm under a red tree, which tempts me to sleep there.Everywhere i look makes me peaceful.There is a building at a distance i can't see what it is.There is a brown bank where you can sit when you get tired of walking around.You can see the lilac flowers in the stream and they look so sweet,don't they?Also the trees seem like a big flower,i think.There is a thin plant right in front of me.İt's not attractive like the others.Pink,yellow,red,lilac,blue,green...what a nice picture !:)

''ENİGME''

Hi,
I'll talk about my sweat roommate,Gizem.Although we've been friends since last year,she is one of the people that i think i know better.We've shared many things with her in a short time,which has enabled us to get closer.She is not a very tall girl.She has fake green eyes:))The colour of her original eyes is brown and so is her hair now however many colours for her hair she tries.She loves making up and wearing smartly.I can say that she is the most meticulous person i've seen in my life.I and my other roommates owe our room to be tidy to her.:))I remember cleaning the room all together before she came from outside.She eat so heartily that you feel you are hungry while you are watching her.:)However,she can't eat so much in the last days because of her new boyfriend and her deep anxiety to him:PShe is talkative and funny and has always been successful in making me happy in my bad moods.No matter when i have a problem,she listens carefully to me and advices me.She would like to become a phsyics teacher thanks to her ex teacher and her desire to phsyics.I really like her personality and if i could,i wouldn't change anything of her.I like she the way she is, as always has been !
