Social Media

Happy Friday!

Hi reader, do you know about twitter? Facebook? Line? 

No one doesn't know it, does it. Yeah, those are social media which are really famous in this time. But, have you ever thought about negative and positive things about it? I'm not sure if those things have more positive things than negative. 

Why?

1.  College Scholarship Service Financial Aid PROFILE

The CSS/Financial Aid PROFILE application is administered by the College Scholarship Service (the financial aid division of The College Board) and collects information used by many private universities to award institutional (non-government) financial aid funds.

The CSS/Financial Aid PROFILE can be submitted in the fall as early as October 1, but not later than February 15 (12:00 midnight EST).

• Click here to begin and submit the CSS/Financial Aid PROFILE.
• REQUIRED the first year for new undergraduate U.S. citizens and eligible non-citizens applying to NYU New York campus.
• NOT REQUIRED for U.S. citizen and eligible non-citizen returning undergraduate students, transfer students, and graduate students at NYU New York campus, or adult students applying to The Paul McGhee Division at the NYU School of Continuing and Professional Studies, New York campus.
• REQUIRED every year for international students at NYU New York campus.
• REQUIRED every year for all students at NYU Abu Dhabi.  (NOTE: it is not required for Emirati nationals, who will be automatically evaluated for Exceptional Emirati Scholarship upon acceptance.)
• REQUIRED every year for all students at NYU Shanghai.  (NOTE: it is not required for Chinese nationals who complete the Gaokao college entrance examination instead of the SAT college admission test).
• You must list "New York University" as a recipient and include our CSS school code number 2785 when completing your CSS/Financial Aid PROFILE.
• Do not wait until your taxes are done before submitting the PROFILE.  Although it is better to do your taxes early, it is acceptable to use estimates of your income when you initially file the PROFILE.
• NYU does not participate in the CSS IDOC program.
• CSS/Financial Aid PROFILE Help: telephone 305-829-9793.

Our CSS/Financial Aid PROFILE deadlines for Freshmen applicants:

Early Decision I:	November 15 (12:00 midnight EST)
Early Decision II:	January 15 (12:00 midnight EST)
Regular Decision:	February 15 (12:00 midnight EST)

IMPORTANT: The deadline for the CSS/Financial Aid PROFILE application will be extended an additional 5 days if non-custodial parent information is necessary for completion.

The CSS Noncustodial PROFILE is also required, if applicable;

• Students who have families with separated, divorced, or single parents must also complete the Non-Custodial Parent form, which complements the CSS/Financial Aid PROFILE.  NYU requires noncustodial parents to report their income, assets and other information as part of the financial aid application process to assess an applicant’s eligibility for scholarship or other types of aid.
• Providing such information does not necessarily mean that the student’s noncustodial parent will be expected or required to contribute to educational costs.
• Under certain circumstances NYU will consider waiving the requirement for the CSS Noncustodial PROFILE in the event the information cannot be obtained.  Please see the CSS Noncustodial PROFILE Waiver Request form available (October to February) on the Applications and Forms menu in the column at right.
• If the CSS Noncustodial PROFILE is required but not submitted, and NYU does not grant the applicant a waiver of this requirement, the student will not be considered for need-based NYU scholarship or grant funds. Please note that this is important because the amount of scholarship a student receives in their first year at NYU is typically the amount they will continue to receive each year if they remain otherwise eligible. Thus, if a student does not receive any NYU grant or scholarship in their freshman year they will likely not receive any in subsequent years. Failing to submit the CSS Noncustodial PROFILE (or the waiver request) for the first year can therefore affect eligibility in future years.

Our CSS Noncustodial PROFILE deadlines for Freshmen applicants:

Early Decision I:	November 20 (12:00 midnight EST)
Early Decision II:	January 20 (12:00 midnight EST)
Regular Decision:	February 20 (12:00 midnight EST)

2.  Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA)

The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) is a confidential fiinancial statement detailing information about your family’s financial circumstances. When you have completed the form, you submit it directly to the U.S. Department of Education. Using a formula mandated by Congress, the U.S. Department of Education makes an evaluation of your family’s financial strength and estimates the amount your family can contribute annually toward your educational expenses. The Department of Education then sends your family’s financial information and its estimate of family contribution to each college you designate to receive the information. (NOTE TO DENTAL STUDENTS: College of Dentistry students seeking certain federal education loans for the health professions (e.g. the Health Professions Student Loan [HPSL] and Loans for Disadvantaged Students [LDS]) must include parents financial data on the FAFSA even if they are financially independent of their parents.)

The FAFSA is available each year beginning January 1, and should be completed as soon as possible, but not later than February 15 (12:00 midnight EST) for new freshmen, and not later than April 1 (12:00 midnight EDT) for most other students (see Financial Aid Application Deadlines at column upper right for details).  Graduate students should refer to their school or department for specific program deadlines.

• You must list "New York University" as a recipient and include our state school code number 0555 when completing your TAP application.

If you choose not to apply online, an Express TAP Application (ETA) will be mailed to you by the New York State Higher Education Services Corporation (HESC).  Information from your FAFSA and your family's calculated NYS net taxable income will be pre-printed on your ETA. Review this information, change any incorrect items, complete any missing items, then SIGN AND MAIL THE FORM USING THE RETURN ENVELOPE.

If you provide an e-mail address on your FAFSA, HESC will use that address to contact you about your TAP application, give you processing updates, or award information.  Please respond to any requests or instructions sent by HESC.  If you have submitted applications, you can check the status of your TAP at any time.

If you have already received TAP, you must renew your grant each year by returning to TAP on the Web (via the online FAFSA process) to review and confirm your HESC data.  You must submit the FAFSA for each academic year to continue your TAP eligibility.  Based upon the data reported on your FAFSA, you will receive confirmation from HESC about your grant eligibility and award.  Be sure to verify that all information is accurate, and submit any necessary corrections immediately.

HEDWIG

Hi reader! Have you ever seen Harry Potter movie? Ups sorry, perhaps I should ask who haven’t seen Harry Potter movie? No one will raise his hand. It was the most famous and interesting movie has ever been made!  How dare you haven’t seen it?!

As we saw in the movie, Hagrid gave Harry a Hedwig for his first birthday present. Harry was very happy, but it’s not the point. What is HEDWIG?

It’s a creature. It’s not a plant nor human. It’s an owl but it’s not an ordinary owl, because it was snowy owl. I believe you know a lot about an owl, but how about snowy owl? Have you heard it before? So, I will tell you then.

Snowy Owl

           

The regal Snowy Owl is one of the few birds that can get even non-birders to come out for a look. This largest (by weight) North American owl shows up irregularly in winter to hunt in windswept fields or dunes, a pale shape with catlike yellow eyes. They spend summers far north of the Arctic Circle hunting lemmings, ptarmigan, and other prey in 24-hour daylight. In years of lemming population booms they can raise double or triple the usual number of young.

Classification

—  Kingdom         : Animalia

—  Phylum            : Chordata

—  Class                : Aves

—  Order               : Strigiformes

—  Family             : Strigidae

—  Genus              : Nyctea

—  Species            : Scandiaca

About

            The Snowy Owl is circumpolar and can be found in Alaska, Canada, Greenland, Russia, and many areas north of the Arctic Circle.  It has a  wide distribution area and will at times migrate to areas south of the  Arctic Circle.  There have been reports of Snowy Owls in Ireland,  China, and as far south as Texas and Georgia.

            Snowy Owls will most often feed on small rodents including lemmings  and voles.  Rabbits are another staple of the Snowy Owl's diet.  The  owls are opportunistic and will also feed on other types of birds such  as ptarmigans as well as bird eggs of larger birds. 

            Snowy Owls are very large owls with smoothly rounded heads and no ear tufts. The body is bulky, with dense feathering on the legs that makes the bird look wide at the base when sitting on the ground.

            Snowy Owls are very large owls with smoothly rounded heads and no ear tufts. The body is bulky, with dense feathering on the legs that makes the bird look wide at the base when sitting on the ground.

            Look for Snowy Owls sitting on or near the ground in wide-open areas. They often perch on rises such as the crests of dunes, or on fenceposts, telephone poles, and hay bales. When they fly they usually stay close to the ground.

            Snowy Owls will build their nests on the ground, typically in a higher place than the surrounding land so that they will have good visibility to  predators and prey. In winter, look for Snowy Owls along shorelines of lakes and the ocean, as well as on agricultural fields and airport lands. Snowy Owls breed in the treeless arctic tundra.

            Mating season for Snowy Owls can occur from April - June and  sometimes throughout the summer.  The female Snowy Owl will lay  between 2 - 14 eggs per clutch.  After the eggs are laid it will take  between 4 - 5 weeks for the eggs to hatch.  Both the male and female  will tend to the nest until the young are ready to leave.

That's all, a short describe about a cute Hedwig.

Thanks for reading! ^_^

Surabaya

A long time ago in East Java there were two strong animals, Sura and Baya. Sura was a shark and Baya was a crocodile. They lived in the sea. Actually, they were friends. But when they were hungry, they were very greedy. They did not want to share their food. They would fight for it and never stop fighting until one of them gave up.
It was a very hot day. Sura and Baya were looking for some food. Suddenly, Baya saw a goat.“Yummy, this is my lunch,” said Baya.“No way! This is my lunch. You are greedy! I had not eaten for two days!” said Sura.Then Sura and Baya fought again. After several hours, they were very tired. Sura had a plan to stop their bad behavior.“I’m tired of fighting, Baya,” said Sura.“Me too. What should we do to stop fighting? Do you have any idea?” asked Baya.“Yes, I do. Let’s share our territory. I live in the water, so I look for food in the sea. And you live on the land, right? So, you look for the food also on the land. The border is the beach, so we will never meet again. Do you agree?” asked Sura.“Hmm... let me think about it. OK, I agree. From today, I will never go to the sea again. My place is on the land,” said Baya.
Then they both lived in the different places.
But one day, Sura went to the land and looked for some food in the river. He was very hungry and there was not much food in the sea. Baya was very angry when he knew that Sura broke the promise.“Hey, what are you doing here? This is my place. Your place is in the sea!”“But, there is water in the river, right? So, this is also my place!” said Sura.Then Sura and Baya fought again. They both hit each other. Sura bite Baya's tail. Baya did the same thing to Sura. He bit very hard until Sura finally gave up. He went back to the sea. Baya was very happy. He had his place again.
The place where they were fighting was a mess. Blood was everywhere. People then always talked about the fight between Sura and Baya. They then named the place of the fight as Surabaya, it’s from Sura the shark and Baya the crocodile. People also put their war as the symbol of Surabaya city.

SWaD

Hi!
I don't really know what I should talk about. Hmm... Actually there is a topic. It's SWAD. Just for your information, I just knew what that's mean. Strength. Weakness. Ability. Dream. But I think i don't have any ability, hm... no, I have of course, I just haven't known yet, so I just wanna type SWaD. Strength. Weakness and Dream.
By the way...
I wanna tell you  about my strength and my weakness, but I think it is just the matter about perception. Because sometimes, when I thought it was my strength, but for some people think it was my weakness.
So, I just tell you, I'm just an ordinary girl who don't have any special things and love freedom. I like having friends with everyone, whoever you are, I always welcome. If you have any secret, you can tell me, and your secret will be safe. I hate every cheating, eventhough I do it too. Oh, and when you're sad, just come with me, probably I can cheer you up. I use to lie but I hate a liar, a lot. In the some situation, I can't control my emotion well. I'm too lazy to do some works and sometimes don't really mind it. I think it's a negative things, but sometimes it could be positive things.
I think that's long enough to describe myself. If you wonder which one my strength and which one my weakness, it's up to you.
One more, my dream. I wanna be a success person. Success before I die and success after I die.
That's all.
Thank you.
