CAMPUS LIFE! WHAT YOU MAY NOT KNOW - MY STORIES PART 1

Ding.. Ding.. Ding..
WAKE UP! IT'S ALMOST TIME FOR INITIATION!

I slept until 4am and my roommate woke me up. It was 2015 when I first enter the college life. I was born in Pekanbaru, Riau and I went to Yogyakarta for study. I had no friend except for my roommate! We're coming from Pekanbaru. Life is hard when you don't know what to do around this early time.

Yes, as it said. It was 4am in the morning and we need to get ready to the campus for initiation! The deadline for gathering in the campus actually 5am. But, I'm not used to get going without take a bath. So, it'll cost me lots of time for preparing. I ended up going to the campus at 3.35 in the morning. Luckily, the distance between my homestay and campus is not really far, took me 15mins by walking and 5 mins only by riding a motorcycle.

We ended up at the campus at 5am, which is a good thing *I GUESS*. We parted our way at the main gate, it was because we're taking different majority. He's Accounting where else mine is Informatics. Proceed to queue in group within the list that already prepared by the initiator. I ended up at the A group with some other friends. "This is the time for me to make more friends" - I said in my mind. So, I started to talk with some people in my group for introduction. "Hey, my name is Djoni!" - I said it to one people in the group. "Hi! I'm Kadek Lia Turyani, you can call me Lia" - said by a girl in my group. "Hi, I'm Valeria Yesina, called me Vale is ok", and it continues the other people in the group. We ended up knowing each other and it was fun.

We're having a hard time in initiation. We couldn't get enough sleep, sometimes the deadline of the tasks is too fast. I remember to create a journal of the day, and also since we're taking Informatics majority, we need to solve a case of calculation which ended up as our name tag. Singing and remembering our campus hymn, singing and also remembering our initiation jingle, going to each pos and repeat it all the time. We went through this for a week *I GUESS*.
Probably that's how hard an initiation must be. Am I right?

------------------ AFTER INITIATION ------------------
Ahhh~
I was glad that initiation passed. I can't imagine my life doing all that again. I rather choose leaving my future than initiation. HAHAHA *I WAS JOKING* but yeah, I'm glad it's over.
So we continue our life as a student in Atma Jaya Yogyakarta University. The first semester was a happy and great semester. I get to know lots of people and make contact.
I went to class for the first time and that's so much different between college and high school. I can come whenever, whatever, and however I want to. such as the outfit, the time, I don't even needed to bring my notebook since the teacher won't care. *BUT THERE'S SOME TEACHER WHO CARES*

Back to the story, I went to class for the first time. Suddenly there's a boy who's reaching out and grab my arm and said "Dje, sit next to me". I was like "WOW! How rude!" *NAH, I WAS JOKING*. I was like "Cool, what's your name?". He replied me "My name is Muh Khairul Fajri, you can call me Fajri". That's the first man I knew in the campus, and he ended up as my first best friend in the this semester. Later, I met Willybrodus Febrian Phikaso and he ended up as my best friends too.

I remember that there's an event that held by the campus called Bubble Fun Run. And our ministry said that every 2015 batch NEED and MUST join this activity. So we went to register our name and join this event. There's nothing much I can share about this event, but I think most of 2015 students batch following this event just for the certificate. You know, there's a minimum requirement of certificate you need for graduate from this campus. And this one gave us a high amount of the value.

Me and Fajri

I know, I know, I look like a gengster with an earing on my ear. But it's magnet. And by the way I lost it on the way back to my homestay. HAHA, so I don't have any of them anymore. Half a semester was going fine with the three of us sit each other side. I thank God for let me meet them two in my first semester. 

Life goes on and here comes my birthday. It was my 19th birthday and all of my friends gave me a birthday cake. I was surprised! *LOL NOT REALLY*.

Mr. Bambang, Me, Mrs. Bambang, and Kevin (Roommate)

This is the first time of me having a birthday cake and event without my parents. So there it goes! I was accompanied by my homestay guard Mr. and Mrs. Bambang, thought I would like to send my prayer for Mr. Bambang, who left us forever. Might he will be happy in heaven with God. And this memory will stay in my mind forever and ever until my last breath.

This is mostly what happend in the first semester of mine in 2015! I met another friend such as Ellen, Stephanie, Josephine, Ignatius Wawan, and so on. But the first semester that's what I felt the most in my heart. Thanks for remembering and thanks for being there when I needed you guys! You know? Life is hard when you're away from your family, but when you met new friends they will always becoming your second home to sail.

I will continue this story until I graduated, probably gonna divided it into some couple stories. So stay tune and what happen in life next? It's gonna be in the next chapter. See ya~
