I entered the university alone, choosing a course different
from the majority and ended up only having 11 students enrolled in the same
course. I decided to shuffle my course plan hence, having less chance to
interact with those colleagues. At the end, I was able to know different range
of students across the university. Somehow, I managed to get along with friends
from opposite faculties and this friendship still continues until now. If there
is one thing that I regret when I moved to another campus is that I didn’t
spend enough time during my stay with them. I also have memorable experiences
and feel blessed to know and be surrounded by magnificent people when doing
social activity, i.e. church.
Be parted with those who are close to us was a difficult moment
for me, especially when I had to move alone to another campus. Having little
knowledge about the new place, I had to endure some hardships especially living
with those who are having very different culture. I remembered the night I
arrived, I decided to call my ex-roommate and almost cried on the phone, in the
middle of a shopping mall because I was feeling lonely. Because I was in a very
remote countryside, there was a huge transition that I had to face. I had to
start all over again, looking for new friends and trying to cope with the new
culture, a very independent one. I have to say there are new hobbies and/or
habits that I developed during my stay in this place. Develop a relationship
with people is not an easy task for me however, I do find few good people here
including, having an intimate relationship with an ex-classmate. One very good
thing that I think is the feature of this place is that we live so nearby to
each other that people are treated as one big family and it is shown through
occasions that we usually held.
This four and half year journey has come to its conclusion;
praise the Lord, I finally hold Bachelor degree(s). There is a huge relief
after the result is announced. I have to say, I have experienced an incredible
journey. Now I can close this chapter and ought to start a new chapter of my
life.
