I lived 16 years, and I made countless relationships with numerous people. When I first came to KMLA, I felt a bit nervous since I never experienced dormitory life. To me, my room meant more than just a place to live in. Like a little castle, I felt cozy and comfortable, and no one could disrupt my comfort. However, my two roommates who lived with me for the first time in my life each possessed distinct and charming characteristics, and all the memories and experiences with my roommates granted me with a strong bond with them. Before I came to KMLA, one of the graduate students told me, sharing a dorm with friends will help me to get closer and share internal emotions with them, feeling precious to each other more than anything else in KMLA....

Popular Screen Entertainment: NCIS and Titanic

NCIS: A Gripping Crime Drama

In my country, NCIS has been popular for a long time. However, it seems fashionable these days to criticize popular American TV series, but who doesn't watch them from time to time? There are different NCIS series, and I'm going to talk about NCIS: Navy.

Meet the NCIS Team

Gibbs is the main character. He's a tough guy with a big heart, who never rests until he has found the criminal. His team is made up of:

• DiNozzo
• Ziva
• McGee
• Abby
• Ducky

Teenagers with the typical nervous smirk on their faces shout acute screams throughout the slopes, ups, and downs of the red roller coasters.
