hostel life!

With the STPM results recently announced and also the diploma holder (especially for those like me...), I figured that many students are starting to get excited by the prospect of entering university life soon. And for a lot of us who have never ventured outside of our comfort zones, studying in a different place (state, country, your cup, your coffee) is probably something that's quite exciting and also at the same time, quite scary. Well, my 1st semester just started, and I would like to share with you about hostel life here.When I first got here, it was quite different to me compared to the previous place. To compound the problem, our hostel is located a good distance from the faculty of law. Despite what you may think, it is really a blessing, because most of the people are from the same faculty and from the same year, and we became instant friends, bonding in ways only strangers in new university life. I find it hard to imagine a more exciting life.Of course, not everybody has this luxury. Regardless, the first few weeks is probably the most stressful.Orientation is torture enough, then we had to start a whole new chapter of living with a roommate. You will encounter all sorts of people, some of which you will like and be your best friend on campus, some of which you will hate eternally. Fortunately hostel officials don't really care if you switch rooms.In my case, I was extremely lucky. My roommate is also quite sporting and most importantly, we can get along together. But seriously, roommates will be your next biggest challenge. Learn to pull out as soon as possible if you feel like the match is going to create problems in the future. The best roommate you can have is one who doesn't really care about what you do, not because she doesn't care about you but simply because she's not really particular about anything that occours around her. And having your best friend as your roommate is really a wise choice. At the beginning, i dont have any roommate and i think it should be fine with me. Its not that bad actually. I can spend my private time by my own. After quite sometime, its been such a boring life for me. Just imagine, when u get back there is nobody to talk with. Sounds boring to me. Normally, i'll travel back to my hometown, Perak most of the weekend. Monday Morning i'll be back and straight to the class. The same thing happened for couples of weeks until i finally got a new rommate and she's Nia. The best part is, she is also from Perak. In the meantime, congratulations for all diploma holder batch 2007 from Kolej Poly Tech Mara UITM, and good luck to all of u especially to our own gang "Mak Datin!". We had such a wonderful moment together and i m hoping our friendship still remain. If anybody is contemplating on coming to Kolej Poly Tech Mara, Bangi I'm your friendly senior to look for advice. Cheers, Azianti!!
