College Life!
College’s Life? Actually, this is not my first time experiencing college life. I’m different from my friends in the class. I did a year of International Canadian Pre Universities (ICPU) at Taylor’s College main campus at 2008. After I’ve experienced the second week of Diploma in Mass Communication, I felt it’s really different with ICPU. Maybe I just started this course, so I feel it’s really much harder than ICPU but I won’t give up easily! What I did in ICPU is actually foundation for different subjects like principal account, international business, introduction to law, psychology, business management and etc. It seems like it’s not related to the course that I’m taking now right? But the first semester I’m taking in Mass Communication have a subject related with ICPU is management. I actually feel weird why we need to study management for mass communication. After I started the course management, it makes me flash back the life in ICPU as I didn’t study for a year after I graduated from ICPU.

After a year of holiday, I started to think whether what course should I take? Management and marketing in business? Law? After everything, I’ve decided to take mass communication. I’m not an active person but why I will choose to take this course. Maybe I want to make myself different. I want this course make me more active, friendly. I like to socialize with people but I think I just don’t know the way how to socialize with others. Before the night of orientation, I started to feel panic and I had insomnia for the whole week. I don’t know why maybe is too long since I last touched the book and no assignment but my friend told me everything will be fine, no worries with it. I also pray hard for my timetable, but I think God didn’t get my message because my classes still start from 10 to 5 for Monday and Tuesday. Thursday is the most worst among all, class starts from 8 to 5. Traffic jam makes me feel tired. The course started, and I made lots of new friends. They are really friendly since the first day of class. We know our all our lecturer, some even gave us assignment the second day. Our CCPD lecturer, Dr.Benedict wants us to do a Creative introducing. We feel stress with it because we scared not creative enough and we’ve GONE THROUGH the presentation. At first, I think I shouldn’t have problem with assignment because I did ICPU before so I should be fine with “assignment” but too bad, I’m not fine at all. I think I need some time to be fine with assignment this thing. I started to love this course day by day, I feel its really an interesting course although sometimes we will nag and complain something about stress with assignment but we love this course, aren’t we? And now I know I want to be a PR! Maybe there will be harder or more challenges waiting for me but I won’t give up easily. We should enjoy our college life, don’t think that it’s hard or it’s killing us. :)
