Journal Set 2 - Perfectionism

                                                         PERFECTİONİSM

      
        Today I'm going to tell you about Perfectionism and its positive and negative effects.On the one hand,It can have some damaging effects.  Perfectionist people’s goals can be difficult to reach, so they can easily disappointed by this thougts and get depressed.In addition,expecting big things from life can lead not only failness but also hopelessness.But,on the other hand,it might contribute a great deal to them in some ways. For example; perfectionism can give motivation for accomplishments and encouragement to face obstacles.In addition to this,perfectionist people have high standarts of life and fewer mistakes to fix later.Finally,perfectionism is not fully useful but not totally harmful.

Journal Set 1 - video entry

     This is one scene from Leyla ile Mecnun.Mecnun is lost among parallel universes.This universe is where he has very bad luck,leave his home,go to the Germany.When he comes to his own home finds his father in a bad situation.After this,It comes to a funny state.

   

     This scene is very good example of Leyla ile Mecnun's feel both sad and funny at the same time.There are a lot of secenes like this in Leyla ile Mecnun.In that way it attracts a lot of people's attention.

      In addition to these feelings The soap opera also gives chapter and verse some other operas,films or social events.

Journal Entry 4 - Slogan for METU

 
                 
                      I think the present slogan "I brain ODTÜ" is not appropriate for METU whose education language is English.Because it is not grammatical.I haven't come up with an idea what it means actually since I heard it. On the other hand,it sounds good to me.Its comic is also funny and like "I <3 NY "

                   When it comes to my slogan , it is "I just MET U " it may sounds strange firstly, I come up with this idea when I was on Facebook. I saw that one of my friends shared Carly Rae Jepsen's song called "call me maybe". I think it is really funny and original, also attractive to students of METU who are mostly young people.. :)
       
                 

Journal Set 1 - LEYLA & MECUN

        "LEYLA İLE MECNUN" the name of which inspired by a book Fuzuli, but actually its subject not related with the boo.In the first episode two babies are born in the same hospital and their families gave their names according to this tradition Leyla and Mecnun.They grows and not see each other but Mecnun's family want to marry their son with Leyla.Firstly,Mecnun doesn't want to marry but when he see Leyla he fall in love.After this,story starts...

          

       Leyla ile Mecnun has a very fantastic context that you may suddenly cry while you are laughing.It is the most impressive and emotional soap opera I have ever seen. 

       Now , Its 3.season on air  and there are over 70 episodes.

      Finally, I can say that it is worth spending time for Leyla ile Mecnun After watching episodes you will justify me.. :)
