Why do we have a two-week midterm exam?
I cannot believe that I haven’t had a chance to open my read cash account for quite some time. Although I wanted to open it, I have nothing to post since I’m already bloated with my overwhelming tasks. Last two days ago, I made at least three blogs for my read cash account because I knew I would be super busy like crazy. Our midterms are already set for two weeks and that was freaking long. If you are going to ask me why the duration of our exam is too long is because of the face-to-face protocol.
Here’s the thing, the main branch of the university handed down a memo that all exams including midterms and finals should be held at the university. On the contrary, the university handed down a memo that there should be a rotational face-to-face that resulted in all the students would not come to the university unless it was their schedule based on the rotational schedule made by the university. This means that the one-week midterm will be stretched into two weeks, which is not favorable to us.
Anyway, I do want to complain about it but you know at the very end, it will be us who’ll be more severely affected than our professors. Thus, I believed that since all the restrictions are already lifted and every student is vaccinated. I can see no reason for our university to dismiss the memo they handed down before. We badly needed to go to the university to practice our activities with our classmates and friends because sometimes, there are coding activities that cannot be answered by our professors on time. That’s the struggle actually.
What was the moment when you felt most motivated?
I think most of us feel motivated when we can satisfy ourselves and the plans we have are becoming into reality. Who wouldn’t be motivated that the goal(s) you created before are now starting to be achieved? You will wake up in the morning feeling energized with the satisfaction and fulfillment you had from within. You know what, the moment I realized that I felt most motivated was when I bought my laptop because that time I knew how impactful and how much it would help me in my study and blogging.
I remember that I was joyous and I could write plenty of drafts because it was easier to make when you use a laptop than the phone. But I think when I’m drafting using a phone, I was a bit faster. There are many reasons to be happy but there are only a few people and things that will keep you motivated to continue. You know, I cherish those people who I believed made me motivated. It is not I am dependent on them but they just give me the energy to do what I need to do. I tell you, there are so few people who made me motivated.
What are you holding onto that’s holding you back?
This is not a tricky question but this question is actually an important one. In some instances, there are things that we are still keeping even though it keeps us slowing down and continuously feeling pain. In my case, I cannot believe that I’m still holding on to the attachment I had with a person that holding me back to free myself from the pain. I get that it's hard for us to just let go of the good memories but on the other hand, you eventually have to let go.
You’ll learn that when you stop holding and clinging to that person or memories, it will be easier for you to embrace the pain and start healing. It is not exclusively for a certain person but for anything related dearly to you. So, if there is something that is holding you back and it is not helpful at all. Then, start assessing yourself and look into why you can’t let go of that thing because the longer you hold into it, the more painful it would be for you in the long run. I’m not good at advising people but I am quite full of experience to share.
Now, just be thankful for all the good things that happen in your life, and when bad times happen, why don’t you embrace them and make them a challenge for you? Yes, it is hard to just flatten everything and said it like this but you’ll get the point. The bottom line here is that do what makes you happy without a feeling of doubt and fear. It is because when you live like that, it will be your loss. Have fun and make your day happy.
