Beıng a METU student

I feel,of course,i am going through an adaptation process from being a high school student to a university student at Metu.Many things influence this process.One of them is psychological effect.I know that i am not comletely an adult,but i know that i am not child anymore.Now i can think more logically or focus on important things which affect my entire life or i can live without my family.And i am learning how to live by myself.In these ways,i feel that i am developing psychologically.Second one is social effect.Now i have a new class,new friends and new life.And day by day i meet different people.So i do not feel lonely.Third one is academic effect.When i came to here,i had some fears about lessons.For example,I thought that German would be difficult for me.But now,i understand and can do it.I am learning how to speak English very well.But of course,i have some challenges.At high school times,we did not speak English.We always solved test.Thus,i did not develop my speaking skill.But at here,i am supposed to speak English in lessons.So i do not know what to do and i am worried about this.There is other problem.I am a bit sorry.Because i miss my family very much.I had never been away from them in my entire life.I am sometimes happy but sometımes unhappy because of this situation.Even these problems when i came to Metu,i was not worried so much like other people.I feel lucky because i am with my best friend,Buket,who i have known for four years.We are in the same dormitory,actually same room and same sections.I have not adaptation problem thanks to her.Whenever we are bored,we make something.For example,we learned Metu quickly or we help each other about everything like lessons,homeworks.So i have not problem like being lonely.
I think,being student at metu is privilige.It has a big campus.While some universities has not campus,Metu has a big campus.It offers many oppurtunies.There are so many groups that keen on interesting things.Thanks to these groups,people can meet different people.But one thing does not satisfy me.I thought that we would have an amphi.But education faculty does not have it.This situation really upset me.Learning something at amphi would be interesting.
To sum up,being a student at metu means being free.It means not having prejudice.It is to feel yourself special.It means that you will have a bright future.And it is to show off that i am student of METU :)
