Week 1. 1st Semester?

Every time I heard the word "College" it makes me
start to feel nervous, and mixed emotion. I'm scared
of entering my college life because I know this is
much different in High School. Its getting near. Orientation. On that first day, I already met new friends. At first, I'm getting a hard time to adjust with other people. But time passes by and we get more and more close to each other. And now. In this first half of semester. I might say that its very enjoying entering college, although there are so many stuffs to do, and stay focus on your study. There always be a time for us to get bond with each other. And that what I like the most about college. 



Many event that comes, and we enjoy it all together. Its not so hard to get close with each and everyone because they are all friendly and easy to get with. So that's one thing I love the most about this course. And also, all my 'ates' and 'kuyas' are very nice. They treat us freshmen students as a part of them. Even our professors. 

I know that it would be more and more harder for us, but we will do our best just to make it.

Social Media

The Social Media is very important for every us. When they say 'media', the first thing came up to my mind is that this is an interactive form of communication using technology. This includes Internet, Social Networking and other text messaging that makes our communication much easier.

We communicate with other by sending some message or ideas with different form. Example of this is Facebook. Any form of communicating with your friends is here. Such as sending message ( though you should expect a delay feedback ) , instant messaging or chat ( which you can chat with your online friends. And the latest is the video chat. ( the more easier way of communicating where you can see the actual face of your friends ) these are only some example of how we communicate with other people. 


Does new media limit or expand our personal freedom? YES. Because through this, we can have other what exactly how we feel or rather they can feel our personal ideas by means of communicating with others. There are chat, blogging, social networking, bookmarking sites etc. that  our truly want is that they have to feel what are we trying to tell or explain to them.

Social Media Revoution

The first video we watched is about the sites the we most visited. Such as Youtube, this says that this is the 4th most visited sites, you can see all such different kinds of videos. Then, the Facebook, the number one social networking sites which have 300+ million active users. One of this is the Wikipedia, the top research sites. We can search different datas in this site, which helps a lot in our studies. And after I watch the first video, I realized that almost most of us were actually used this. And everyone of us would take so much hour in using the internet. 

Then, the second video we watch is about one businessman who build his own ice cream shop. At first, it becomes popular with his neighbor, and then, one they he found out that they also build their own shop. The businessman thinks some idea that's different from the others, such as making some flavors of the ice cream that make each costumer curious on how it tastes. One of these is the invention of the "pickled flavored ice cream". This story is about the cycle of each. Making some competition on their products. And to advertise this, they also uses some networking sites. 

Mediocrity VS Excellence

First, I'm not that quite familiar in this word. And so, I found some research about this. According to the dictionary, "mediocrity" means "ordinariness, averageness, commonness, common placeness, normality". And I got a meaning for this. Everyone of us, when were trying to do something, we actually didn't do our best and we just say "i'm fine with this". For me, that's traits is so wrong. In every challenge, we must do our best so that in the end, we would not get disappointed.


And the word "excellence" or state of possessing good qualities in an eminent degree. This is what exactly the opposite of excellence. In life, we must do our best to the fullest. Excellency is the best key to success. We must do the right in order to pass different challenges.

Mediocrity and Excellence, such an important word in our life. With this, we will definitely reach our goals into a success.
