The Internship

Often times being in a room full of professionals can be so intimidating, especially when you are an intern. Internship offers working experience and tests our abilities to finish the task that we are assigned, regardless of any level of skills. On my first day, I knew from the start that the real working environment could make me feel overwhelming, which it did. Just like everything else in life, there must be a first time and going into the office with little knowledge about how organisation works is definitely a challenge. Being an intern student who works for free, obviously doesn't have the big pay cheque as a motivation to work hard enough that you don't have to stare at the clock every 5 minutes.

To be able to become a successful internship, I have realised that there's no time to play around and bring up excuses. If becoming a 9-to-5 workaholic is part of the road that at the beginning, many woman-boss started off with, then taking a baby step and accept that feeling little is alright, could be a reality call for me. Every morning when a person wake up, the moment right after the first blank state after ones eyes open to the empty sealing followed the thought of being successful and cease the day. I always believe in faith and that it is important that in the beginning of the day we are faithful enough that we can do whatever our heart desire. setting a good thought first thing in the morning will keep you focus on your dream. In the lifetime, both young and old souls are fuelled with passions that keep those dream alive and hopeful. For human being, there will never be a time that we feel content once the dream is achieved because we will be hungry for many more new dreams. Because once a dreamer, always a dreamer.

But dream of being one of those successful girlbosses who run the world can't never be real without any effort. Even though things are always easier said than done and the world is full of the unexpected, having our eyes on the prize (dream) along with the to-do-list that should have a check mark at the end of the day is enough of an effort for beginner like me, who just started to learn more about putting both heart and soul in everything. At the end of the day, it always important to know that you have been devoted and done the best of your ability because you always have tomorrow to be more improved.

well, Rome wasn't built in a day, right?

Twenty - seventeen

Each year, December 31st is marked as a farewell to the last bitter and sweet 11 months and the fresh beginning of the new chapter that starts after the countdown. New year has always been about new beginning to many people including myself. What happened in 2016 became a part of history and memory to recall when we thought of what we have been through. However, despite of all the good and bad, each of them turn us into a stronger and better person who understand the meaning of life more each day. 

This year’s resolution is simple and tend to not fade off after the new year vibes slowly roll out because I only have one resolution that I believe fit in everything we do in life. My long term resolution is “to focus on the happiness”. As I grew older I learned the hard way that happiness only occur when we let things be and just be happy. Even though it may sound so simple and easy to acomplish, being happy by being easy on myself and let things be have always been a challenge of mine. 

Happiness here include the practice of self-love and self-respect. If you look into the mirror and see someone else that is not you, not only you’re not living your authentic self, but also not loving yourself enough to accept all the flaws. This year I want to be able to accept flaws and listen to my body and nourish it with love as it will does the same to me. After all, happiness is the key to life.

Life this year is full of challenges and new chapters that made me scared and excited at the same time. First is my first-time internship with a company that evolve around fashion. The internship is part of the college credit that I chose for a senior thesis report. Then graduating my 4th year as a journalism student will be one of my education milestones. But before that day come, I know for sure that it won’t be an easy ride and there would be hard times. By acknowledging that , I have prepared myself for the high of success and and the low of failures while pursuing my goal. 

So, bring it on 2017. Even though I am not a big fan of horoscope but it has promised me that it’s going be a good year for September people, so why not give this year a try.
