Programming the schedule of courses is likely a terrible time for most college students in State University of Malang. It is the time where students are competing to get in the expected courses with desired schedule arrangement and lecturers. Students generally have the same opinion about ideal lecturers, so classes with ideal lecturers will be fully booked as soon as the applying time opened. For some reasons, I do not agree and comfortable with this system. With some considerations, I think it should be better if students get their course schedule arranged by the system without programming it themselves.             It might be true that course self-programming can make students more independent and responsible for their own choices. They are involved in every step of course-programming so they know how to deal with that kind of rigmarole. However, although the students would be more independent, course self-programmin...

Pic: Pascal Campion Sementara kita bukan pengendali nyawa, bukan juga pemilik aslinya, siapa yang bersedia ditinggalkan secara tak disangka? Ingat kan, bahwa nyawa itu dicabutnya tiba-tiba? ~~~~~~~~~~ Jika ditinggalkan orang-orang terkasih itu benar-benar menyakitkan, itulah mengapa cinta itu kadang membebani. Tanpa rambu, perasaan itu muncul sejak kamu lahir. Kamu yang naif dan polos, belum tahu apa itu dunia, dan bahkan belum tahu apa makna "cinta" itu sendiri. Seolah kamu dipaksa menerima kasih sayang, dipaksa mencintai, dengan alur dan cara unik yang membuat dirimu sendiri tidak merasa terpaksa. Aneh, tapi indah. Entah bagaimanapun prosesnya, tahu-tahu kamu sudah mencintai. Dan kamu tahu konsekuensinya. Dengan mencintai, kamu tahu bahwa kamu akan kehilangan. Kamu akan melepasnya suatu saat nanti, mau tidak mau. Tapi di kesempatan singkat ini, kamu berusaha membahagiakannya, membuatnya istimewa, memanfaatkan waktu yang ada, menghabiskan waktu membersamainya. ...

There is a feeling When you feel tired and don't wanna be anything When you try your best but tomorrow seems unclear When you left your responsibilities and just wanna rest Longing for shoulders while nothing to caress There is a time When you hardly believe that you're really alive With those lofty dreams struggling to survive With the imbalance haunt you anytime Ready to kill and blow your hopes away Yes, you know and everyone knows I'm not a brilliant poet nor a pretty glows I'm only a wretch seeking for a gist A gist that can help me see clearly in the mist A gist that can help me find a peace ~~~~~~ Alvi Rosyidah 💐 @alvrose_  *Picture : Thomas Kinkade Art

Oh please honey don't you cry There's still a silver line in the sky Oh please honey don't be shy For ahead be like summer in July Waking up the sun have you tried Ask her to soothe your soul far deep inside Calming your love as high as tide Knowing that the bonds will never collide Savour all moments as it's a splendid ravine Explore the future as you're the queen Live as lively as seventeen I hope your sprightliness will be evergreen ~~~ Dedicated to every of you, Whose a very special day, today. 💐 ~~~ With love, ☕ Alvi Rosyidah @alvrose_

Dulu, saya pernah sekali melakukannya tanpa pikir panjang. Sekali ditegur, malu seumur hidup. Dan lagi-lagi saya membuktikan kebenaran “Malu itu sebagian dari iman.” Hahaha.. Baca! XD __________ Hari ini, hari kedua kuliah di semester 4. Mata kuliah pertama ada Advanced Reading , bersama Pak dosen yang menurut saya, orangnya cerdas, teliti, dan menyenangkan. :D Sebelum memulai pelajaran baru, beliau bercerita tentang sesuatu yang menarik. Cerita itu tentang suatu negeri yang (sebenarnya) potensial dan mengagumkan. Sayangnya, minat baca penduduk negeri itu sangat rendah. Menurut riset bertajuk “Most Literred Nation in the World” yang dilakukan oleh Central Connecticut State University pada Maret 2016 lalu, peringkat minat baca penduduk negeri itu berada di urutan ke-60 dari 61 negara. Ranking 2 dari bawah! Mengagumkan, bukan? Ya. Menurut beliau, bahkan dosen-dosen dan pelajar di negeri itu pun kalah kalau dibanding kaum terpelajar di luar sana, kaitannya dengan ...
