Because the time has changed



Because the time has changed
by : Siti Nur Qomariyah

A teenager is someone that ages for about 13 and 19 years old. That age is the people experienced a significant change in physical and psychological. Teenagers in this era are different with teenagers in past. Teenagers in 90s do not dependent on technology. However, teenagers in this era have been introduced to sophisticated technology and they are very addicted to it. They are famous as millennial generation. In fact, the lifestyle teenagers today are very different from a teenager in the millennial era.
The difference that was really clear from teenagers in 90s and millennial era is when they were in the school.  in the past, teenagers had a high enthusiasm for learning. Although at that time still there was no motorcycle, they still spirit to take a walk in the far away for learning. Moreover, when the teachers gave them some assignments, they never complain. At that time there was no internet but they did it well by look for the answer from a newspaper, book and also television. On the contrary, today’s teenagers are lazy to go to school.  Even if they have personal transportation such as a motorcycle, they still do not have a spirit to study seriously. Moreover, they mostly grumble when they get some assignments from the teachers. Whereas teenagers in this era are really easy to get the information, they just need to open the internet and type what they want to know.
When gathering with friends, 90s teenagers spend a long time joking and telling about something. Especially if anyone can play a musical instrument, usually they sing a song together regardless of their voice sweet or not. Sometimes, if they do not have a topic of conversation, they usually watch TV together. Unlike, teenagers in the millennial era preferred to play their gadgets than gathered with their friends, even if they gather in a place, but they are still busy with their gadget. Millennial generations are more individual than teenager s in the 90s.
A feeling of gloom is definitely experienced by a teenager in the 90s and also in the millennial era. Even so the way they express it is different. The teenager in the 90s, the first thing they did was write it in a diary or tell to their close friend. The teenager in 90s did not like to drag on grief. They will immediately find a solution and cover it so that no one knows. Whereas millennial generations really like to upload status when they are sad, they even upload to those who are crying or with puffy eyes as if they want to show off that they are sad. The worst thing is sometimes they shut up in rooms for days.
The difference between adolescent in 90s and millennial generations is already apparent from their daily lives. The changes that occur in adolescents are due to increasingly sophisticated technology development. With this increasingly sophisticated technology, we should be able to be wiser to use it well. We must be able to take every positive side and apply it to everyday life. Even though adolescence is still an unstable age, I hope with the technology that they have now, they can use it to support their country.

My 3rd Semester

My 3 rd Semester In the third semester, I felt very comfortable. My classmates are very friendly, so I'm not too difficult to adjust with them. They are also good and like to help each other in the lesson. When I did not understand about the lesson, I will ask and discuss it with my friend. In the third semester, I also just got to know the lesson called linguistic and literature. At first I had a hard time because I had not gotten a picture of the lesson. Then, I learned that linguistics was more focused on memorization, and literature focusing more on practice. In my opinion the most difficult lesson is grammar, because if we don't understand the lesson we will also have difficulties in writing, reading, and etc. Sometimes I have difficulties to divide time to study between one lesson and another. The reason is because sometimes I more focus on learning to lessons that I can't and other lessons are little disturbed. Therefore, in the next semester I will change...
