Life After College

-
After 8 semesters studying in Yogyakarta, I finally graduated in August 2016. It’s been few months ago, yeah, it’s been a long time ago, I know. Drastically my status had been changed from a college student to a jobseeker, it’s the creepiest thing ever.
Me at my graduation day
So, how’s life?
After my graduation day, I was super happy and excited. Finally I got my degree as an Engineering Physics graduate, I am going to find a job, and doing awesome things, that was my expectation. But, that happy story not stay in a long time. After graduation I’ve tried to apply for many companies probably hundreds of them, until I can’t remember what company I’ve been applied to. I came from one job selection to another job selection. And I still can’t get any good news. I feel kind of like frustrated, and underrated. I feel lost. Am I that bad?
Well, the truth is, it’s very difficult for women to get a job in engineering field. Most of the vacancies just open for man. Boys got more opportunity than girls. Well, it’s probably because of the company’s consideration. The job probably very though so the company thought that it will be difficult for women to do it, then they just open it for men. But why?

 I believe that we are men and women have the same competencies. We came from the same background study, and as women engineer we already understand the consequences, that we have to be as though as man. But, not many company has the same perspective as I did. And because of that I can’t get many job interviews as my boy friends had. When my boy friends had gotten jobs, my girl fiends and I still struggling.
I hope there will be more opportunity for women to pursue their engineering carrier. I want to be “Fit in” in this work field. I am not studying engineering just for becoming a jobless person. I want to work in this field. I believe that we need more women perspective in engineering, because we know that in today’s society women dominated the population so we need space for women to be able to achieve their dreams too. I don’t know where my jobseeker period ends. But, I hope it is soon.
Just keep on trying and learning for a better future! Fighting!

At the end of May, I got my birthday coming. I am no longer in my early 20s. I am entering the end of my 20s. Oh Time Flies. In the past year, there are so many things going on, the things that we never ever think about it before. In my 25 years old, I got engaged with my best friend on June 7,2019, and got married 6 months later, on December 15, 2019. I never thought that I could marry this early. I used to think that I will get married during my 27 years old or later, but Allah's plan is better. After I got married, everything is fine, my husband and I moved into a kind of apartment (Kosan that look like an apartment), and we keep working in South Jakarta area. But after around February, things got a little bit scared. Oh Dear, 2020, it is such a year! Oh yeah I’m talking about this Coronavirus thing. Okay, it is beyond, my imagination. I never ever once thought that I would experience something like this. I’ve been working from home since March 16, 2020, and ...

Today, The good news is, I'm getting married. I can't believe my self either! I'm 25, and I'm getting married, next month? Never in my imagination that I would married this early, I mean I used to think that I will get married around the end of my twenties, 27 or 28. But Alhamdulillah, I met my other half early hehe. My current feeling, honestly I'm nervous! My heart beats so fast, it feels like I'm consuming caffeine, even though I'm not. I'm also excited at the same time. I love him so much, and I can't wait for the day we could start our life together. I'm grateful that finally, I met someone that I truly love and he loves me back. I hope that everything is gonna be alright. I hope that everyone happy with our marriage, that we could love each other till the end of our life. I hope that happiness, blessed, healthiness, prosperity, Imaan, and love will surround us forever. Bismillah.

I found another place called "HOME"

-
Aku menemukan tempat baru yang bisa dibilang rumah ke-tiga ku. Setelah rumah pertama adalah rumah di Ambarawa, rumah kedua kos-kosan ku di Pogung, rumah ketiga ku adalah Sekre LPKTA tercinta. Sekarang ini aku jadi sering main ke sekre, bercanda gurau, main-main, diskusi, curhat, online, dan belajar *kadang-kadang* menjadi aktivitas yang aku lakukan bersama teman-teman di sekre. Ya sekre adalah rumah kedua kita di Jogja, dan para penghuninya adalah saudara-saudara kita. Jujur sebelum diangkat menjadi PH aku emang jarang nampang di Sekre, jarang ikut kegiatan, pokoknya gak aktif banget, ansos bisa dibilang, namun setelah jadi PH aku jadi merasa lebih diterima dan nyaman sama    orang-orang di sana, aku cinta kalian semua, tanpa terkecuali :* Dulu aku bisa dibilang adalah mahasiswa kupu-kupu, kuliah pulang, kuliah pulang. Jarang ikut kegiatan, kegiatan yang aku ikutin cuma HAL KMTF sama LPKTA, tapi aku jarang dateng kalo disms. Maghrib adalah pulang kuliah paling malem, ...
