Trump's inauguration

Donald Trump, a businessman, television personality and politician, won the elections and became the 45 th president of the US. He won by talking about things that have been concerning the American people for a long time. After his inauguration on the 20 th of January, the new President took actions and he started doing exactly what he had said. The first thing is that he signed an executive order directing federal agencies to weaken Obamacare. But after a day of the inauguration, a worldwide protest which was called Women’s March took place to support women rights, immigration reforms, freedom of religion and other important things that are about to change with Trump as a president. The first protest was planned in Washington D.C. and after that 673 marches were planned worldwide. Whilst organizers expected nearly 200.000 people, 470.000 with 500.000 took part in these marches and that was in Washington only. Worldwide the number of participants were up to 5 million. What

Social Media or Social Disaster?

You know social apps such as Instagram and Twitter ,where you upload a pic,share a moment e.t.c. Yea,these are killing people.Have you noticed how ADDICTED humanity is?I've noticed people in cafeterias who are in a group of friends and they constantly check their phone or the whole group of friends will be on Instagram or Snapchat and taking pics and chatting with other people. That irritates me.We are socialble ONLY  when it comes to chat with people from an internet website rather than in personal.This face-to-face has changed to screen-to-screen.Public relations are gone and only internet relations exist.If you don't have a lot of followers then you are out of the group.I you don't post a provocative picture then you're out of the group.If you don't wear makeup then you're out of the group. Well you know what  Screw the group.A group of what? Of same people? Of losers who try their best to be something their not? To change their image just to be accepted?

In this post I am going to talk about famous books (kind of geeky?!)  Harry Potter is a series of fantasy novels by British author J.K. Rowling (thank you).The novels follows the life of a young wizard named Harry Potter and his friends,Hermione Granger and Ron Weasley,all of them are students at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardy. The central character in the series is  Harry Potter , an English boy who lives with his Aunt and Uncle and Cousin who discovers, at the age of eleven, that he is a  wizard , though he lives in the ordinary world of on-magical people known as  Muggles . The wizarding world exists parallel to the Muggle world, albeit hidden and in secrecy. His magical ability is inborn and children with such abilities are invited to attend exclusive magic schools that teach the necessary skills to succeed in the  wizarding world . Harry becomes a student at  Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry , a wizarding academy in Scotland and it is here where most o

In my previous post I wrote about universities in England.Sot today I'm going to post about universities in Scotland,this very beautiful place Yep I know,it's like a dream 1) University of Edinburgh Probably by the most famous universities in Scotland.University of Edinburgh,placed in Edinburgh (capital city), is approached by a hundreds of students each year,has 80 courses and an excellent status among the UK. So be sure in your UCAS university choices this university will be the first. 2) Glasgow University And here we are with Scotland's largest city and UK's third largest city,GLASGOW.The university of Glasgow is the fourth oldest university in the English-spoken world and one of Scotlan's fourth ancient (1451).It's surely an excellent university with excellent teachers,it's status is very high and students are very happy. 3) University of Aberdeen  Is it just me or universities in Scotland seem like ancient castles? Okay so Univer

BREXIT??!!!

BREXIT!   If someone doesn't know what BREXIT is (even though I doubt anyone hasn't heard of it)  Brexit: The UK's withdrawal from the EU    Surely there will be consequences.But what they will be Maybe : a) Students from EU will no longer study there  b) No migration to UK  c) Bad relationship UK-EU I doubt a and c are going to happen but answer b is maybe a possibility.But I am going to talk a bit later about these issues  Now let's see which parts of UK voted to remain and which to leave from the EU (Image taken by indy100) Cities such as London,Edinburgh or Cambridge had a high percentage on remaining. In Harrogate for example the leave vote was 49% which means 46,374 votes and remain vote was 51% which means 48,211 votes. Age was of course relatable.Most of young people voted for remain whereas most of elderly voted for leave. So now back with the question.What will happen? What's next? Let's start

Deciding where to apply is not easy.Especially if you are thinking of applying outside of your country (like me).I am going to show some of the best universities in specific countries such as Germany and UK. So this post is about universities in UK. ENGLAND: UNIVERSITY OF CAMBRIDGE Who doesn't want to be announced that he is accepted in the University of Cambridge.Don't deny it,I know you would freak out.This is a public collegiate research university in Cambridge,England.It is founded in 1209 (pretty old university),and given royal charter status by King Henry III (He was King of England,Lord of Ireland and Duke of Aquitain).It's the second-oldest university in England (I wonder which uni is first) in the English-speaking world and the world's fourth-oldest surviving universities.But enough wih Wikipedia.Let's look what does someone has to take in order to get in: To say it pretty simple,to get in by the best universities,you have to be good at everyth
