It’s been a year; My Master’s Degree journey!

It’s been a year; since my journey to my Master’s Degree! It’s been a year since I graduated with my Master’s Degree. Going back to school for how many years after is not that easy. But the excitement for the new challenges urges me to take those possibilities. Work and study are very hard to do at the same time, but I guess this kind of momentum makes me more optimistic to pursue my dreams! Very challenging yet satisfying, especially when you know at the end of the day you’ll be the one who will harvest your fruit. **But along this journey, some realizations help me to finish this course:** **1. The moment you started, there’s no retreat and no surrender!** If you decided to start, you need to put in your mind that you need to finish it all the way. Sleepless night struggles in making research, thesis, and everything are part of that journey. And these challenges are not a joke, so thinking about giving up is always popping into my mind, but the moment I think about how I made this so far plus the money that I already spent always reminds me that I have no right to give up! But then again, if you started the journey you must look forward to finishing it. My goal is to finish and to graduate; by hook and by crook I should do it. **2. Try to do every task step by step and one at a time!** As I mentioned, working while studying is so hard. Reports after reports, activities after activities while due dates are knocking door by door can make my mind pressured and drained at the same time. So having time management is a must. I need to do the entire tasks one at a time and step by step to make sure that I finished one. Because the moment I put everything on the table the more I can’t finish even a single task. Without time management and of course discipline towards everything, surely I will not be able to do everything properly. **3. Look forward to the graduation!** To graduate should be the ultimate goal. Having a master’s degree is a great help to my professional and personal growth as well. So I need to look forward to the day that I will receive my diploma and finish my book that will serve as the fruit of my labor making everything worthy in the end.

**4. Be with your best study buddies!** For me having a classmate/buddies in studying makes the journey more meaningful and happy despite all the struggles that we have. These are the best people with whom we can share our burdens, stress, and goals that make everything worthwhile. Having them inspired me to pursue my dream as we shared the same goal in our journey, and we have also had our motto where “all for one, one for all” becomes our reminder every day. Not to share answers or what, this is motto is for us to remind us that no one shall be left behind, everyone should inspire each other, motivates each other, and you’ll make it altogether!

**These things make my master’s degree journey worthy to remember and something to be proud of. This is not to brag about but to share with you my achievement, that despite everything, I made it! This is also to inspire everyone to pursue their dreams no matter what it takes!** *****You should remind yourself, that you can and you will!*****

Sharing with you also my Quatrooo! My best friend! Though she's not in the mood to take a pic as always hehe! __________________________________________________
