I am finally done with my degree years and for that, I would like to thank everyone whom without, today will never happen. So, what did I managed to pick up within this 3 years besides the food (well, it's Penang anyways) and a degree?
I've learnt that human beings are different in so many ways. I used to have only girlfriends during high school, smart ass during matrix year and I myself think that I am way too serious when it comes to studies and work. I've never seen a group of human beings that are too cool for school and multi- talented. I was a science stream student and changing to art stream has widen my view about how different people are and yeap, I kind of tried a little hard to fit in at first but these people, they're just too awesome and awesome isn't the best word to describe them.
I have 2 ladies in my class. What's so special about them is that they're my dad's age. One is 63 and the other is a bit younger. I am very close with one of them that every time we hang out, she will introduce me and my other 2 friends as her daughters (tho we always get that wth looks) What impress me the most is her struggles and efforts are way more than myself and I am only 22. She hardly skip her classes without proper and solid reasons (read: funerals and emergency family matters). Point here is, knowledge knows no boundaries. I just hope that I'll finish my education with the highest achievement regardless my age. Even if it takes my 70 y.o self.
Make friends with everyone. Doesn't really matter how many people that you're close with but make friends with everyone. Be universal. Well, different people might have different ways of viewing things and I think by just going with the flow and be neutral, you will definitely survive later in life. I'm glad that my course does not consist only people my age but they're technically ranging from early 20s to late 20s and we even have 60ish y.o classmates and all of us can blend in well. It is hard at first. Back in my first year, I am so damn (idk how to put it in proper words) scared? to talk to them because most of them are even older than me by 3-4 years and can't believe that we blend in well together.
Faith. I find myself lost at times. Have the fun all you want, stay up all night and hang out at random places with random people. Fly up to the highest cloud and live your wildest dream. Yet if you still, feel empty and lost. Sad and don't feel belong. You know what you should do. I had my moments and Alhamdulillah, I've found mine. You fight the battle alone and sometimes you don't have anyone to save you when you drown. Hold yourself together and pick up all the shattered pieces of your life and strive for a better life. Insya Allah, it will be if He says be.
You can't summarize your 3 years in only a post can you? I had fun with fun people. Words can never be enough to thank these human beings that happen to bring colors to my life canvas. We might not talk to each other everyday, we might not work in any project or assignment together, we might never hang out together, I may not know your favorite color but just so you know, I'm glad that our path crossed. I wish you well in life and good luck in the future endeavours.
