First Time at UPI , , ,

When I was second grade at 24 Senior High School, my friends and I participate in drama festival at Universitas Pendidikan Indonesia (Indonesia University of Education). I never had visited UPI before and I was so curious. After arrived at UPI, I swore that I didn’t want to continue my study there because UPI is so far from my house at Cibiru, Bandung.

But, I don’t know this must be called “fortune” or “bad luck”, I was accepted at UPI now with the major English Language and Literature. The next day, my friends—who accepted in UPI too—and I went to UPI for the registration. After that for the first time we explored the whole UPI. I knew UPI is big, but I was shocked that UPI is bigger and huger than my imagination! There are so many new buildings from each faculty (including Faculty of Language and Art, I study there) that makes me feel that I’m the lucky one who is able to study in this university. There is a unique garden too. It’s so quiet and matches for you relax your mind, chat with your friends, or just walk around there. And the mosque is so huge, unique, and beautiful! So, you can take a pray with peace, calm, and cool.

Moreover, when I knew that UPI is the 4^th rank at the best university in Indonesia after Universitas Gadjah Mada, Institut Teknologi Bandung, and Universitas Indonesia, haha… I’m really proud because I can study inone of the best university! But, if I remember the journey from my house to UPI needs two hours and a lot of money, sometimes I get bored and tired.

But life must go on! Every single day, I try to motivate myself. Hopefully, I can survive in this leading and outstanding university!
