School-University Transition
#BelieveInMyself - 2
Studying in a university is not the same as studying in a high-school. This post discusses most of how I feel toward the social-environment in academics.
During these 4 years studying in ITB, I've felt more pressures, start by the harder course-material, the teaching-learning pace was really quick to me, the situation when everybody seems to understand while I still try to understand the material, the situation when I felt that I needed to staying up late to study the material (even without sleep), and the most irritating me much is the condition where my hard work effort didn't pay off, yes the exam result. *I know, we are here to study, not to aim the exam result only. But who will be satisfied when you didn't deserve your dedication.
Compared to studying in high school, I felt lesser pressure! The course material was easier to understand. I don't have to pay "too" much effort into studying it. I don't need to less sleep, less eat. I have plenty of time to play games, learning the languages, and still able to help my mothers doing housework. But, I felt in university I really learned so many things, many insights, many wisdom, and on the top of it, I'm so glad that I've developed even into a 120% better version of myself.
====================================
So, what's happened?
Logically, it is hard to imagine that we will be developed in a high-pressure state. When we are under pressure, we don't feel comfortable. Feeling uncomfortable makes our mood bad. And bad mood leads us unproductive.
But, it results otherwise if we keep going forward and never give up. Just like the Carbon atom, a black compound that is nearly worthless to us. But after putting under high temperature and pressure, it turns out a diamond, that is high price and valuable. The pressure given to us makes us uncomfortable indeed, yet it also gives us the power to push our limits.

Like high school to university phase transition, life is not getting easier for sure, but now it will not affect us that much anymore. It's because we are getting stronger.
