~ College Notes to Myself ~ Day #1 – 29th August 2022, Monday.

Today’s Highlights

Hi, this is Reza. Before this day I actually really scared and worried so bad about the new journey that I would take here as an Undergraduate at University of Indonesia.

But now, I am ready to fight!

Today’s Lesson

Before I get back home on this first day of lecture, what I was doing there was just listening to music and breathing as serene as I hope to at Faculty of Psychology. First Lesson: Don’t keep rushing.


~ College Notes to Myself ~ Day #2 – 30th August 2022, Tuesday.

Today’s Highlights

First meeting with my supervisor, Mrs.Mina Elfira M.A., Ph.D., & for the very first time since the orientation started, I finally visited Literature Canteen (Kantin Sastra) or “Kansas”.

Today’s Lesson

Mrs.Mina Elfira taught me an important thing about the etiquette. When you’re about to present yourself, don’t forget to say Good Morning to the lecturer and friends in the opening, and speak in a normal pace.

Mrs.Ira also said that plagiarism at UI is greatly heavy. She also said that teamwork and leadership were essentials. In some cases, when these top individuals blend into a team, their work may not always the best.

Today’s Highlights

It’s kind of funny today, because I went to the wrong class hahaha, I knew this class would be online, but I didn’t know that the lecturer wouldn’t be in the class :v, luckily everything is fine!

Today’s Lesson

If you’re going for the interview, always make sure that you already knew the product or program of the company or organization that you’re applying for, also explain it specifically, be genuine, and be on time.


~ College Notes to Myself ~ Day 4# – 1st September 2022, Thursday.

Today’s Highlights

We have some fun there today, because the lecturer asked the seniors to teach us (my batch) Russian alphabet and pronounciation. My senior’s name is Vani, she has a good pronounciation. Thank you сeстра!

Today’s Lesson

The biggest lesson of today is, if you have understood something, keep being humble! When you get taught by someone, listen to them nicely! Give your full attention, and ask them when you feel hesitate.


~ College Notes to Myself ~ Day 5# – 2nd September 2022, Friday.

Today’s Highlights

Phonetics & Phonology class was really insightful. Here we learn how to produce the sound of language. It was so mesmirizing on how the vowel influence the consonant, so the sound production will change.

Another highlights of today is, I finally got into the central library by showing my academic status, yeay! But I took wrong stairs hahaha, it was clearly dark but Idk why I kept going down there hahah.

Today’s Lesson

Okay, so I almost got late, kind 10 minutes before the class began, and yeah it was my fault, I should go at least 7.00 am so I’ll be there at 7.20 am, and 10 minutes walk to my faculty, be there at 7.30 am.

As I’m the person in charge of the Prose & Poetry class, so I need to communicate as actively as possible with the lecturer, so my friends don’t have to wait in the meeting room like this afternoon. I’m sorry


Thank you everyone for making my first week studying at college cheerful!
