Mau Jadi Apa?

Apa ketakutan terbesar kamu dalam 5 tahun kedepan? Mau jadi apa?

Yaaah mungkin nggak jauh-jauh dari karir dan jodoh. Sama kayak aku yang akhir-akhir ini sering ngobrol atau diskusi (biar keren bahasanya) tentang dua hal tersebut. Awalnya kayak yayaaa mengalir aja lah yaa hidup ini. Fokus sama apa yang ada sekarang. Dan bersyukur.

Tapi tapi tapi, setelah beberapa kali obrolan, aku ngerasa kayak aku "terlalu tenang" gitu. Kurang berani buat mimpi dan bercita-cita. Disuruh sekolah ya sekolah, disuruh kuliah ya kuliah. Tapi nggak study oriented banget, ngambang gitu lho aslinya mau ngapain. Saat temen-temenku kayak udah lebih pede mutusin buat mau ngapain setelah kuliah, aku dalem hati cuma bilang, "(aku pengen ngelakuin) Apapun asalkan aku happy."

Aku juga ngga tau kenapa punya pemikiran kayak gini.

Sampai suatu hari, Arni, salah satu temenku di kegiatan volunteer minta bantuanku buat jadi subjek penelitain dia. Temanya tentang identitas generasi Z. Nah, pas banget sama aku yang lagi heran kayak hilang arah dan bertanya-tanya sebenernya aku mau apa jadi sih?

Lagi pula cuma diwawancara doang kan? Aku mau-mau aja, dong.

Well, setelah 2 kali diwawancara sebagai subjek penelitian Arni, justru malah aku yang ngerasa terbantu! Berkat wawancara itu, aku jadi mencoba lebih mengenal siapa aku yang sesungguhnya. Aku dulu waktu masih kecil gimana, sih? Ada ngga pengaruh dari masa kecil yang kebawa sampai sekarang? Ya ampun, setiap kali abis ditanya dan meneritakan suatu hal, sedikit demi sedikit aku jadi lega. Aku merasa jadi lebih kenal siapa aku. Hehe.

Dari hasil wawancara itu, aku percaya kalau apa yang ada sekarang dipengaruhi oleh kenangan masa kecil.

Syarat Daftar Ujian

Halo! Nggak kerasa udah tahun 2018. Tahunnya mahasiswa angkatan 2014 THP FTP UB buat siap-siap angkat kaki dari kampus. Menuju kehidupan sesungguhnya tanpa beasiswa dari orang tua wkwk apasih.


Di awal tahun yang selalu menggebu-gebu dan bersemangat dalam mewujudkan resolusi masing-masing, aku mau cerita nih tentang salah satu target aku di tahun ini, yaitu: SEGERA LULUS S1. FYI teman-teman, mungkin aku ngga kayak mahasiswa umumnya yang melakukan penelitian dan ujian skripsi sebagai tugas akhir. Alhamdulillah di kampusku ada salah satu jalur lagi untuk meraih gelar sarjana yaitu berbasis Karya Ilmiah Kompetitif, yaitu PKM (Program Kreativitas Mahasiswa) yang diselengkarankan Kemenristekdikti. Alhamdulillah dulu sempat diberi kesempatan merasakan PIMNAS dan dapet kemudahan dari kampus buat nyelesaikan tugas akhir pakai karya ini.

Cerita tadi bukan bermaksud gimana-gimana ya hehe. Emang ngerasa bersyukur banget ngga usah ujian skripsi. Tapi itu bisa terjadi mungkin karena salah satu lagi doa ayah bunda yang dikabulkan sama Allah.

Sindrom leha leha

Jujur, awalnya sempat kena sindrom leha-leha karena merasa ga usah ujian skripsi. Well, tetep aja kan namanya tugas akhir tetep harus ditulis sesuai dengan format skripsi meskipun karyanya udah ada. Bedanya cuma ngga ada seminar proposal dan sidang akhir skripsi. Seluruh persyaratan buat lulus-apalagi secara administrasi-tetap harus dipenuhi, salah satunya adalah berkas-berkas daftar ujian skripsi. Nah, meskipun aku ngga ada ujian skripsi, baik mahasiswa yang pake jalur penelitian maupun tidak, tetep harus memenuhi berkas-berkas ini yaa.

Bedasarkan pengalaman seorang mahasiswi semester 7 yang pengen segera lulus tapi deadliner banget, sebaiknya berkasnya bisa dicicil dari kamu penelitian. Nah karena pengalamanku sendiri buat daftar ujian itu ribet, aku ingin share tahap-tahapnya agar kebingunan ini tidak terjadi turun temurun.

Ada banyaaaak sekali berkas-berkas secara administrasi yang harus disiapkan. Nah, ini adalah checklistnya.

Berkas-berkas tersebut bisa diunduh di web jurusan sama web fakultas. Ati-ati ada file yang ngga update hehehe terakhir kali file yang baru itu (Revisi 2017) kayak gini: (link)

Nah, sebenernya setelah download semua berkas-berkas itu aku bingung banget. Dari awal Desember 2017 sampe pertengahan Desember 2017 file itu aku anggurin padahal itu udah mau akhir semester 7. Padahal jujur aku sangat menghindari bayar UKT semester 8 karena tinggal beberapa hari lagi semester 7 mau berakhir. Terus panik dong?!?!


Again, ketika makin banyak yang harus dilakukan sementara waktu makin dikit, akhirnya tetep ngga ngapa-ngapain sampai akhir Desember daaaaan ke skip libur akhir tahun.

Panik panik panik

YOUCAN EMPOWER LOMBOK 2017! (2/3): Mendure

Been a week in Mendure was amazing!

From left to right (Kak Glenn, Bagus, Kak Ima, Ryan, Dadan,
Kak Reyhan, ME, Kak Uni, Kak Nining, Kak Dyah
Kak Ardina, Dimas
Kak Laili (blur ): )

Since the first day, we were treated like "kings" by people there, when actually we want to mingle in the society. The girls volunteer stayed at Kak Uni's house, while the boys stayed at one of elders's house. In Mendure, a bathroom inside a house is very rarely, include at our houses. There are some bathroom build by some people scattered at some locations for all people in the village. Don't be surprised, if you want to shower you have to go around the village looking for an empty bathroom. Usually we had our favorite bathroom, so we can scramble the bathroom and the loser had to find another bathroom. But, IF you are lucky, you will be invited to shower at her/his house with bathroom inside because the house owner were kind and feeling pity at you.

Most of people in Mendure are farmers of rice and tobacco. As you can see from our selfie picture above, February is perfect month for rice because it was rainny season, right? Rice paddy need lots of water to grow up! In fact, it's not too rainy in Mendure. The weather was pretty good to dry your laundry, just took 2 hours from 10 AM-12 PM! Moreover, the temperature in Mendure is always above 30 degrees celsius! It only happened once a heavy raining on the last day during the farewell ceremony :(

Move on from the weather and livelihood, I will tell you about Mendure's all time favorite beverage: LOMBOK COFFEE! Yeah, Inaq-Inaq in Mendure love to serve coffee for guests like us. They were pounding and blending the coffee with their own recipe. I don't drink coffee, but the other volunteers said the coffee was really good and unique. Maybe because the coffee blended with rice pounding that increased the flavors. In the last day, some of my friends ordered to inaq-inaq to make coffee because they want to buy some kilos of Lombok Coffee! I think they've been addicted with the coffee after a week non stop consuming caffeine XD

caffeine time with guava and rempeyek

By the way, I've been talking about children in Mendure on my previous post. Yeah, they are so lovely. After dhuhur prayer, we held our programs and mostly our target is children. While their parents were busy on the farm, we taught them how to turn garbage into useful things, the important of clean and healthy lifestyle, and the spirit to dare to reach their dreams! Kak Uni said, the children were very excited about our programs. They even had their own "Kakak favorit". I will tell about Kakak Favorit later. Anyway, the pictures below were about the kiddoss!

I was using bahasa mixed with Sasak little bit while explaining to the kids 

Beside their cuteness, the children in Mendure are very religious. After Ashar prayer, usually they went home, took a bath, and went together to Masjid in the different village before magrib. Actually there was a mushola in their village. But, they don't have any ustadz or ustadzah to teach them read Al Qur'an in that mushola. The high learning spirit of the children eventually making them accustomed to go to the Masjid even though the distance is far.

Saw this problem, finally we asked for permission to teach the children read Al Qur'an after Magrib prayer for a week. After reading Al Qur'an, usually we help the children to make their homework.This is also being one of our unexpecting program, so they didn't have to go that far to learn qur'an and enliven their mushola too.

my dream when I was in elementary school was beeing a teacher LOL

In that mushola, we made a mini library from a small unused room in the mushola that is being our main goal to increase their reading interest. We called it "PERPUS KANCIL". PERPUS KANCIL  stands for Perpustakaan Pustakawan Cilik. Beside many books for the children, there is a section for writing their dreams inside the PERPUS KANCIL, called "Aku Mele Jari" means "I Wanna Be". They wrote their dreams in the notes then sticked it all. We were advised them to always keep this library and keep those dreams by being Agen Kancil. Agen Kancil is a team that will look after this library although we (kakak-kakak) are not there. The children were very excited to be Agen Kancil. Again, I want to thank you for those books donation because it means a lot for the children in Mendure.
