I am Nazlıcan, a 19 year old student currently attending Foreign Language Teaching Department at METU. I stay at a dormitory and I actually enjoy campus life. I was born and raised in Batman, a city in Southeast. I had been looking forward to leave this place before I spent four months in Ankara. I did not leave Ankara during this period and it was hard for me. I missed my family, friends and even the city itself. Now that I am here nothing seems to have changed. I know that I will get bored in less than 2 weeks. It has always been like this. My life is a constant battle between trying to get out of this place and trying to come back to it. Thank God, my emotional emptiness which resulted from the fact that I did not go home for holidays was filled with the friendship of my roommates. I stay in the same room with Şeyma who is a senior in university this year, Berivan who is in the preparatory school and Duygu who attends the same department as me. We enjoy the time we spend together and have so much fun. We sometimes sing together or go shopping. People in other rooms are surprised that we get along this well.
This term I had a lot of time to question my life, my expectations from it. I have not found the answers yet. I used to believe that my ignorance was a bliss but I feel so bad for my ignorant acts in the past. I am trying to be a better person by understanding the situations well.
I like singing a lot although my voice is not that good. It makes me feel better whenever I am demoralized. I used to go to a lot of parties but I got bored. Now I enjoy going to more silent places like small cafes to have a cup of coffee with my friends accompanied with slow music. It is much better than bars with loud music and it helps me to relax and have peace of mind. I like travelling although I did not get a lot of chances to do so. Seeing new places give people chance to have a broader understanding of the world we live in. I love learning new cultures. I like ethnic music and oriental movies, cooking, animals etc.
Hello Nazlıcan. We haven't talked face to face yet but I started to know you thanks to this task :) I'd like to be in silent and peaceful places, too. I like your photos very much, I hope you will always be happy as much as in the photos :)
ReplyDeleteHey buddy! :D I've just read your task and really liked it. We had chance to talk face to face but I didn't know about you so much. Thanks to this task, now I know you much more. :) I especially like your photos which are very cute and amazing. I' ve also realized few mistakes. Probably you'll also realize them when you read again :) You should use '19 years' instead of 'year' and 'silent places' instead of 'placed'. Good luck :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Girls! I fix the typing mistake I made with the word ''places'' but I am not sure whether 19 year old or 19 years old is right. Using ... year old is common too.
