Why “I Don’t Have Time” Does Not Exist
One thing that many people always complain about is regarding the limited time. We are so busy that we don’t have time for anything. We do want to read a good book, but we think that we just don’t have time. We try but to no avail. What about spending some precious time with family and friends? We too afraid that we don’t have time at the moment. What about sitting or lying around doing nothing? That’s a luxury we can’t really get. Because of our work, our business, and all the things that are really important to do, take up all of our time. However, worth noting, what exactly…

When You’re Not Going Places
My phone’s ringing several times as I was putting my attention to the data I was working at. Apparently, it was a phone call, not from my family nor relatives I’ve ignored lately, but from a friend of mine that I used to talk to. The day he’s living in seemed gloomier than ever. I reckoned it since there’s nothing he shared but anxiety. Kinds of stuff rattled him a lot. “I ‘ve got something that made me worry.” “What is it?” “Check your WhatsApp, I’ve sent you some.” In less than a minute, I knew what he’s talking about. Unimportant screenshots that posse thousands of meanings. I understood how…

A Never-ending Job Searching
Lately, social media is filled with a variety of facts telling how difficult it is for recent graduates to find a job. Particularly, for those who just recently graduated. It does take time, not only for these inexperienced groups of people to be able to have a decent job (and obviously a monthly salary). I did talk to some of my acquaintances, just to have some other perspective on how hard they struggle to find a job and surely how they see their life in the near future. “I’ve been called for interviews roughly ten times, still, I didn’t get the job,” said someone. There’s even who applied to be…

A Recent Graduate’s Thought
A couple of weeks before graduation, I could not handle the fear of being jobless. After my junior proceed the responsibility as an editor in chief, I still had no idea what I would become with my upcoming degree. I was questioning myself a lot, literally. Do I deserve to hold the degree? Am I qualified enough to be hired in a company? Or as simple as, how I could feed my hunger and pay the bills. A couple of months before finishing my thesis, there was a simple chit-chat among us, graduates-to-be. Some feared for not being a good student, thus they assumed they wouldn’t have a chance to…

Cerita Day Trip Salzburg dan Si Perempuan Semampai
Langit yang menurunkan hujan kala itu, bukanlah sebuah kebetulan. Dari weather forecast app di hp, jelas terlihat Kota Munich sudah diramalkan akan diguyur hujan seharian. Pagi yang sejatinya menyemburkan sinar mentari pagi tidak berlaku untuk Munich. Langit gelap beserta gulungan awan hitam sudah mengepung seluruh kota. Dan benar saja, saya dibuat bingung di antara dua pilihan: melanjutkan rencana day trip ke Salzburg atau beristirahat saja di bawah selimut tebal hostel? Setelah mempertimbangkan baik dan buruknya, hasilnya, saya memilih untuk tetap berangkat. Pukul 09.00 saat itu seakan sudah petang yang di musim panas ini ternyata tidak ada matahari, tidak ada kehangatan, yang ada hanya air hujan yang turun beserta hembusan angin…
