A Day at the University: Still Surviving and Saving Good Memories in College.

Hello! I just had another fruitful day at school. The day was so perfect because it didn't rain and the clouds were so beautiful to watch. I also had a good trip because the road was wide and there was almost no traffic. I hope the city looks like this every day. Maybe I'll be able to enter better and not be sleepy during the trip. Actually, my school is so close to where I live, and I am one of the fortunate students who can study for free at a state university. All you have to do is study hard so that the professors will not give you a low grade.

As I entered the school, I got dramatic because I suddenly felt like I was graduating. The days go by so fast, and I feel that anytime soon, I will see myself in the office, doing the things I studied for four years.

Today, I got a chance to see the magnificent views of our university in my last moments before I graduate. I have to admit, I've been studying here for several years, but until now I still haven't mastered the whole school because it's so big.

I saw a lot of students at the quadrangle; some were doing PE (physical exercise), and some were school athletes. Tiredness is visible on their faces, but hearing them laugh makes me wonder about their level of happiness with their co-classmates and the experiences they were having. Honestly, it's sad because I didn't experience running on the school's quad because it was still pandemic when we took the subjects of PE and NSTP (National Service Training Program). I felt a little jealous of the other students I saw dancing and having fun because my classmates and I had never experienced this. But it's okay; I was still able to participate in many activities that I know I can use more of when I'm done. Others said that I should just go through college. There are more opportunities outside of school, and I can engage in more activities soon.

However, there are many things I don't like about school, and one of them is the grumpy guards at the gate who once harassed me. I can also add those other professors who are always late to announce whether there is class or none, and when we are already at school, that's when they will tell us that they cannot make it to attend our face-to-face. In the end, we will wait a few hours for the next class. What's even worse is that sometimes the last professor won't come. It's annoying, isn't it?

However, there are still some good things I will treasure forever from this university, and some of them are the people I helped. Since I am one of the elders in our block, many students have asked me for help academically several times. It's really funny when my fellow students always greet me, even if they're from a different block. I feel that I am a very friendly and approachable person, even though there are times when I am being strict and grumpy as well. I have also added the people I have been close with throughout my college journey. Because they are the people I know secretly support me. I am not super close to them, but I do feel their honesty and respect. They are the people who have been with me through the hardships of schoolwork, people who cheer with me every time we hit achievements and milestones, and they are the people who are happy when they see me excel. I am a person who always wants to go solo in school activities because I'm tired of lifting my groupmates, but I'm proud because I didn't expect from myself that my version 2.0 would be amazing.

I'm really emotional today. And until I return home, I will also carry new pressures that will add to my stress for a few days. Please pray for me, for I will be taking another examination for a job title.

Anyway, this is my blog. See you again next time.
