Welcome, the real life of being an MM UGM student! :)))))

Tanggal 4 Juli 2013 kemarin adalah tanggal keramat bagi mahasiswa PRA MM UGM batch 62 (angkatanku nih). Kami semua menunggu nasib apakah kami akan lulus dan memasuki semester 1 sebagai the real student of MM UGM. Dari pagi sms dari akademik MM UGM tidak kunjung muncul dan kami sekelas (kelas B) semakin heboh berbagi nervousness di Blackberry Messenger ataupun WhatsApp. Jam 2 siang, akhirnya berita yang kami tunggu datang juga. Akademik MM UGM memberitakan pengumuman kelulusan PRA MM UGM batch 62 sekaligus memberikan username dan password untuk mengakses nilai kami di Sintesis (Sistem Informasi Terpadu Ekonomika dan Bisnis).

PUJI TUHAN!! Praise the Lord. Aku lulus! Walaupun tidak straight A seperti yang aku harapkan dan impikan, but at least no C in my transcript. Apalagi dengan backgroundku yang sama sekali bukan dari IPS atau ekonomi. I imagined that I had to do my remidial for Introduction to Financial Management and Introductory to Economics for Managers.

Ternyata Tuhan baek banget. Tuhan bener2 liat kerja kerasku. Although I felt there’s no hope anymore when I did the exam, God helped me so that I kept doing my best. Apapun yang terjadi, aku tetap ingin melakukan yang terbaik. Dengan persiapan yang matang dan doa yang kuat juga. Believe me, God never leaves. In a stuck moment, God always have a way to help.

Ketika aku nggak bisa mengerjakan tugasku (everything about stock portfolio), God sends Piwi and Mario to help me. Piwi is my friend since when I was in Senior High School. She’s also my dormmate. Mario is her friend in Atma Jaya University Yogyakarta. They did a lot for me. So thanks a bunch for them. I thank them for their patience, their time, and the most important thing is their sincerety. Gilak deh sabarnya mereka waktu ngajarin aku dari awal mengenai keuangan dan saham. And they always build my confidence. That’s why I love them, they believe that I can, although I’m not sure about myself.

Dear bloggers whoever you are, who like reading my blog, when you face difficulties in your life, never give up. 

No worries.

Tell God what you feel and God must give you what you need.

Things won’t change if you worry and let those difficulties haunt you. but, believe me, things will change if we have more faith.

I learn from this ‘graduation’ that life was so hard for me for last half a year because my dad is sick. I had to spare my time between family and my own study. I broke up with my boyfriend two months ago. Everything changed at one time. But now I realize that God has bigger plans for me.

Tuhan mengirimkan orang-orang di samping kita sesuai waktunya. If that time was the perfect time to break up with my boyfriend, it really was. Toh aku bahagia dengan hidupku yang sekarang. I’m free to do what I love, what I want to catch. Aku fokus menemani bapak sampai sembuh dan merasa lebih dekat dengan keluarga. Now, I graduate!

Semua memang indah pada waktunya.

It’s not easy in the beginning. It feels so hard to live on, but if you keep in your faith, the end will be much much better. Time will heal and tell. 

Keep trusting, God is always good. Forever Good.
