My friend's strange habit

    What I gonna tell later is... the habit that my friend does every time she enters the room at the dorm. I think that this habit is the strange one since I have never see who behaves like my friend.
    Firstly, I want to introduce her for all of you to know for a little bit. She is my friend from high school and we decide to continue studying in Bachelor's degree in Assumption university together. We learn almost every subject together because we are in the same major and the same minor. We also spend time having lunch and dinner together. Not only what I already said but she is also my roommate in my dorm. Therefore, every behavior is noticed by me.
  Next, I gonna tell her strange habit which may not too strange for someone, but for me her habit is quite strange. She always washes her face and brushes her teeth every time she comes back to dorm. The first thing that she does when entering the dorm is going straightforward to the restroom and then wash her face and brush her teeth. She does this like a routine even if sometimes that we did not eat anything for all of  the day or we are going to have dinner together. There are so many times that I asked her why you had to do like this, she told that doing like this make her more confident.
   Lastly, I gonna post her photo for all of you to know. I know that all of you is familiar with her.

My GPA Life Cycle

As you know that the product life cycle is an important concept in marketing. It describes the stages a product goes through from when it was first thought of until it finally is removed from the market.

The main stages of product life cycle are introduction, growth, maturity and decline.

(product life cycle model)

Next, I use the product life cycle theory to apply with my GPA. Product life cycle is an essential concept for marketing. In each stage of product life cycle, marketing team uses different way to promote the company's products.

Introduction – researching, developing and then launching the product
Growth  – when sales are increasing at their fastest rate
Maturity – sales are near their highest, but the rate of growth is slowing down, e.g. new competitors in market or saturation
Decline – final stage of the cycle, when sales begin to fall

Therefore, from my GPA life cycle, I can apply knowledge from this model by assuming that I am marketing person. If my GPA is in the stage of growth, I will know that I should focus on study in this level because it provides the best result. Moreover, I will put more effort to support my growth or to make it continuously grow. If my GPA is in the maturity stage, I will maintain the level of concentration on study as long as possible to maintain the high GPA. Lastly, if my GPA is in the decline stage, I will put a lot of effort on the next semester and try my best to produce better GPA.

(my grade summary from AU Spark)

However, my GPA is always on decline stage. No matter how much I put effort on study, my GPA is still lower and lower. The reasons may be because of the participation or the presentation score in class. As I am a very shy person so I am very excited when I have the presentation or I have to speak in front of the class so my presentation score is always deducted. I always try to improve myself in this area but it does not work. Another reason is that the nearer to graduate, the more difficult of the subjects I have to take. Therefore, I am not much serious about my GPA like before. In other words, I still try my best to improve my GPA but do not put too much expectation.

My Last Three Smartphones

     After I started using mobile phone, I changed mobile phones so many times. Most of the changes are caused by my forgetfulness and my awkwardness.

 

My lastest smartphone is Iphone5s. I have used this Iphone for more than 2 years which is the longest ever after I started using mobile phone. There are a lot of memories kept in this Iphone not only in terms of photos but also in terms of message I talked to others. Therefore, if one day my Iphone is lost, I may greatly regret from the loss.

   For my next-to-last smartphone is Samsung S5. I used this Samsung for only two or three months. And, because of my clumsiness, my Samsung falled onto the floor and the monitor was broken. After that situation, I used it for about 2 months and changed to use Iphone. Now, my Samsung belongs to my mom since she brought Samsung to change or fix monitor at the shop and after it was fixed, my mom liked it very much due to its big screen. Hence, she asked to use my Samsung.

   For my third last smart phone is Blackberry. I got it free from my father's friend after I lost another Blackberry in my birthday. I could not remember how long I used it. What I could remember was that I used in when I was grade 11 and I might use until I was grade 12. I stopped using my Blackberry because at that time Blackberry became obsolete and now I forgot where my Blackberry was.
