Studying is Awesome

A university student had better to be an autonomous learner. In university, the teacher does not present all of materials anymore. The students should be more active in developing their skills. I am really aware that I should study autonomously and explore my skills. Consequently, I should study hard.

Graduated from Senior High School made me confused in which university I should register. I registered PMDK in UM, but I was not accepted. Then, I joined intensive course for preparing SNMPTN. I registered for UM through SNMPTN and UIN through PMB Mandiri. The announcement of the acceptance was on the same day. Unbelievably, I was accepted both in UM and UIN. Yet, my father asked me to put my name down UIN. It means that I am supposed to stay in dormitory for a year.

I accustomed to stay far away from home seeing that I have ever stayed in boarding school for six years. In this dormitory, I was obliged to stay with my seven friends in a wide room. They are Fida, Irine, Azizah, Ifa, Ana, Putri and Dewi. That was totally different with my last boarding school where I was required to live with my eleven friends in a fairly small room. Staying in one room for a year made us just like family.

I had to join Intensive Arabic Course for two semesters. This course went on for around four and a half hours a day and five days in a week in a year. Every class consisted of approximately thirty five students from different department with the nearly same of Arabic competences. In the end of the year of Arabic course, the lecturer held a competition for the students, such as speech contest, quiz program, drama, nasyid, calligraphy, wall magazine and so on.

I had the most memorable holiday in the end of the third semester. My friends and I have planned to either hiking mount Bromo or travelling to a nice waterfall named Madakaripura. The beauty of Bromo and Madakaripura made me completely paralyzed. We got the peak of mount at 5 a.m. I waited for sunrise while both having breakfast and enjoying the beautiful scenery. We had to walk around forty minutes to get the waterfall. Bathing in the river was like pouring water comes from heaven.

In this fourth semester, I have four kind-hearted friends. They are Irine, Ilin and Icha. They are in the same class as me. A friend in need is a friend indeed. We share our happiness and sadness together. We tried to help each other. We often go somewhere and discuss assignments together. We have ever gone to Blitar just for having fun together. We used to discuss our assignments at my home stay. We have ever gone biking around our campus.

I ought to enjoy my time being a university learner. This is the time to explore all I have. Not only just studying hard but also improving my abilities. Filling in this precious time with valuable things and not wasting it by doing useless things.
