The end of a chapter

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.
