Last Blog: What's Next?

Actually I can not believe that we are at the end of this semester; It was really fast.  It was really amazing.  I learned a lot of things, and I made a lot of friends from different countries.  I feel that this class has really improved my writing since I got a good score in the writing part of Ielts test.  Since we began this semester, I have been wondering how Mrs. May could mange the time of this class.  Even it was more than 2 hours, I never felt bored.  Thank you so much Mrs. May.  In one week, I am going back to Saudi Arabia for the Christmas holiday, then I will come again to California.  I am planning to study Linguistics in CSUF, and I need one more semester in ALP to get the required score in Ielts or Toefl test.  I glad that I am coming back again to Fullerton.  I would like to say goodbye to all of my friends who are not coming back, and I hope to meet them again.

Topic #7: Happiness

The feeling of being happy is one of the essential motives that makes us do different and many things. I can prove that the whole things that we do are considered as seeking of happiness.  Ask yourself about anything, "why am I doing this?", and after each answer, ask "then what?".  The final answer will be "I want to be happy".

For me, there are many things that make me happy. Being with my favorite friends, achieving goals, helping people and trying to make them feel happy can make me the happiest person on this world.  However, the most important factor, that makes me happy, is inner peace. I believe that whatever I have, money, job, friends, family ...etc, without inner peace, I cannot be happy.

Finally, when I think deeply what happiness means, I remember one of the sayings of Prophet Mohammed, peace and blessings be upon him, which is: “Whoever among you wakes up secure in his property, healthy in his body, and he has his food for the day, it is as if he were given the entire world.”

                      Topic #6 Pet Peeves

   Actually, there are many pet peeves that annoy me so much. I believe that sleeping is a paradise. Poeple sleep not for intertainment; they sleep because they are so tired of working, studying, or maybe having a horrible schedule of classes like ours.

     One of the most important things, that I care about, is to be quite when someone is sleeping. I appreciate people who do that because when I am sleeping and someone start making noise, I feel soooo annoyed. Thanks God that my Germanic roommate has the same point of veiw; otherwise, we would fight everyday.

Topic #3: Popularity, Accomplishment, or Organization?

Topic #3: Popularity, Accomplishment, or Organization?

Of course all of these three things are important, and each one of them can be useful when it takes part in our lives.

Popularity, communication with people and shaing ideas and feelings are an essential needs. Happy moments, and even diffeculties have special empress when you are among the people who you care about and about them you care.

Organization is also important. It saves time and efforts. Being organized makes you feel more calm and comfortable. In other words, if you want to get rid of stress, just try to be organized.

Despite of what I have alredy said about popularity and organization, I think accomplishment is the most important, and I can say that no need for popularity and organizatoin if there is no accomplishment. We spend money, work hard, wake up early, and live far from our homecountries in order to accomplish our goals.

Finally, I think popularity and organization are so helpful for anyone wants to accomplish his goals and be successful.

Topic #2: Time Travel

Topic #2: Time Travel

I really enjoyed watching some fiction movies about travelling through time. I know it is impossible to be real, but the idea attracted me. I think past is beautiful. Yes it was difficult to live in luxury as many of us do now, but I think past was more simple, calm, and peaceful. Now we don't own our time; life is full of stress, hustle, and mental illnesses. It looks like we are in an everlasting race with everything around us, and we just keep running.

 For me if I imagine that I could go back in time, I would like to live return back two or three centuries ago. No electricity, no internet, no cellphones, no pollution, no nucleus weapons. Just a simple and natural life.  

Topic #1: What do You Want to be Remembered for?

Actually, life is so short and death is a fact that everyone in this life is going to face sooner or later.
And because of that , I think everyone should care about what he will be remembered for.
 In my opinion, I can say that there are some choices, and as we still alive we can choose.
  For me, I don't want to die then remembered for nothing even though I think it is better than to be remembered for bad things. The thing I want is to be remembered as a person who passed his life learning, helping people, serving his country and nation.
