Thoughts of Attending My Last Undergraduate Class

As I encouraged myself to blog more often, I will try to update at least once a week to compile the last few months of me staying in the United States. Although I did not have a truly exciting life as compared to others, but I doubt that I will have a totally bored and dull life to the point that I have no idea what to blog about. Even if I did nothing at all during any upcoming weeks, I must think of something to blog about in order to stay active in writing.


Today (11/8/2016) I finally submitted my final paper and attended the last undergraduate class. I had always spent my time doing my own things without really paying any attention to the lecture because I always thought that the lectures were boring and uninteresting. I mean my professor always talked something that was out of our class syllabus. To be frank, I attended the class just for the sake of attendances. If it wasn't because of attendances, I doubt myself would be concerned about attending the class. Nevertheless, I forced myself to stay until the end of today's class. While I was waiting for the time to pass, I was also feeling terribly emotional because it's really my very last time attending class in SFSU. I'm uncertain about the possibility of returning back to the America and study again; hence, I really feel so sad that I've no chance to step in all these classrooms, lecture halls and even school libraries as a student. I will definitely miss every single moment that happened to me. 


Well, I understand that's a part of my life. Life moves on and it's time for me to move on to the next step of my life. To work or to continue study? I'm really confused and clueless now. At this moment, it's definitely the hardest question to be answered. However, I allowed myself to rest for a while until I return home with decisions that will bring me to the best of all. I am fine with both if opportunities are allowed, but definitely favor more on gaining work experiences. 

I really wish to at least gain some work experiences before continuing my master program, but it seems like in today's society, the minimum requirements for a person to work in this firm is a person who holds a Master degree and has at least few years of related experiences. I understand how realistic this world can be, but I feel that most of these companies should be understanding that, if every company has this mindset and not willing to teach or guide the fresh graduates, how are the fresh graduates are able to even have their first work experience? Experiences are not something you would gain while you are studying; it's something practical that needed to be gained while you are working with your clients. I could not comment much on this issue as this has became a culture in work life, but I seriously hope that majority of the companies would change their mindsets especially in hiring the fresh graduates.   

With that, I end this post by crossing my fingers that I will fully utilize these few months. I had some plans that I always wish to do while I was still studying. Since I am freer now, I wish to accomplish some of the bucket lists, which include solo travel to somewhere in the US, try working in the US and etc.

Till then.
