This is a continuation of the post from my Instagram.
Time really does not wait for anyone. We as human beings can only plan for our future but then we can't really do anything about it without the consent of God. This is going to be a post regarding on my journey throughout my life as a student.
Something to ponder...
The picture above was during my first convocation. Took Diploma in Public Administration and chose a very different path for my Bachelor Degree. Three years of Diploma and add-on another three years of studying for my Bachelor Degree.
I was not a very good student back in high school. My result was meh. I scored ABCD and E for my SPM. There were 3E’s fyi 😂 and entering Diploma was the best decision for me ever. My SPM results consist of 2A's 2B's 1C 1D and 3E's. You tell me who would want a student that scores such shitty result? No famous university would accept that kind of results for their first choice. You know during that time the only thing on my mind was I want to further my studies in Swinburne(bloody expensive private university). Not to forget I was a rebellious teen who just wants to follow her peers around and go study in a private university without thinking about her parents. Yes I was dumb I know. But throughout the time of applying to every university that I can apply, I can see the struggle of my dad trying to get me into UiTM. He told me to take Public Administration and me being me ofcourse I wouldn't know what the hell was Public Administration. The only thing that I know about the Major was that I am going to get exposed to political talk and other stuff. 2012 was a really tough year for me but then I adapted myself to the Major sooner than I thought.
So throughout Diploma, I learned to love the Major but during my fourth semester I questioned myself whether or not I love this Major. I wanted to quit halfway not because my result was bad but then I don't feel the challenge from it now that I've discovered the reason why. Thank God that I didn't quit *fuh* , A big shoutout to my partner in crime Hajar, who constantly reminded me to actually hold on to myself for one more semester. The reason why I wanted to quit was that I always compare myself to the people that are close to me. Throughout my university life, I tend to get close with the smartass people I don't even know why. It's not like I am using any of them it's just happened like that. As a normal being I do compare myself with Hajar but then I don't want to be like her. You get me right? I'm still that lazy arse human being who was reluctant to study for more than an hour. Yeap that was me during Diploma. I really took my Diploma for granted last time but Alhamdulillah I was given the most moderate CGPA ever which was 3.21 out of 4.00. I am grateful for that because I know how I was back then. *serves you right*
Well during Diploma I was still in my comfort zone but for Bachelor Degree was a different story. Went to a different State(Shah Alam, Selangor), new environment and the most horrific one was the Major itself. Bachelor Degree in English for Professional Communication. If you know me well, my usage of English is not as bombastic as my other friends but God decided to change my route to this. At first, I told my parents that I don't want to further my studies because I want to wait for the second intake to take the course that I really wanted. Funny story about this, I put the course as a filler for my Bachelor Degree application. I had to choose three different Majors for my intake last time. I wanted to actually be in Mass Communication Studies or even in Tourism but yeah as I mentioned just now God decided to give this Major. Yes, I was shocked to be given this Major three years ago. I was being the douchy self-stating this stupid and ridiculous statement to myself “Who wants to study English all the time? English is easy peasy.” Yeap I know I was douchy. Istg I really want to slap myself thinking about my behavior back then. ENGLISH WAS NEVER EASY. Really, I regretted everything. During my first semester, I really can't adapt with this Major. I wanted to quit really no kidding. I was overwhelmed by the amount of assignments given to us and how they actually assess us which was very different from my Diploma environment. Being in a different environment really makes me realize that I need to change my way of thinking and handle stuff. It's either you do or die. That's my motto during my Bachelor Degree. My first semester result wasn't that great. It was my first time to acquire such numbers. I know to some people I might sound and act so dramatically. I scored 2.75 out of 4.00. Getting a result like that was not really what I had in mind since my siblings are competitive. Due to that reason, I told my dad I really wanted to quit my Degree.
You know what happened after that? God still give me His signs which He sent my uncle to talk it out to me.(This happened because of the request from my dad). I continued my journey but then after that I've managed to be familiar and adapted myself through the rest of semesters. Conflicts among peers? You don't say.. It happened alot through these 3 years. But Alhamdulillah everything went well and I ended my Bachelor Degree well too. Now I am waiting for my second convocation which will be in this upcoming October. Yeay! Oh yeah my final CGPA was 3.24... Mediocre as per usual. Not much change from my Diploma but this CGPA I know I well deserved it because I really work my ass off. From 0 knowledge about English Linguistics to actually graduated from such Major indeed my major achievement in life.
Graduated a bit latter than my other Diploma mates but it taught me the art of patience. Success doesn’t come in a fortnight I must say. Changing route especially to the one that you know you’re not really good at was really a gamble. Long story short, it’s okay to be late. Your time to shine will definitely come sooner or later. Go outside of your comfort zone. You would never know what kind of adventure that you will face. And lastly, always ponder and remember God has His own ways of showing the right route for you. Here some unicorn dandruff for you guys who read this long freaking post. “Sprinkle sprinkle unicorn dandruff!”
Sincerely,
