What grades do I need to get where I want to go?

This week, I've just been busy to read some books, both fiction and nonfiction.
I've just started Elon Musk, and that sentence really remind me about senior high school life.

My senior h.s. life was so complicated and kind of an odd culture at the beginning.
We had senior and junior (bad) culture in it at the first stage.
We lived a part from our parent, at dormitory.
So many rules, and self-hatred in it.

Maybe, we dislike the process, but at the end will be grateful for everything.
The system will make you felt like "Why life is so hard to get along?"
You must have a good grade in 1st year, if not you'll drop out from school.
And the most incredible one was to get a good grade was so hard. The standard was so high like a mountain.



Why was is it so hard?
Because we had another horror life after school. We had another "Masa Orientasi" in dormitory. The most painful part in my life.
Slept at 1am
Woke up at 3 am
hahaha nightmare, wasn't it?

1st year at dormitory just like a zombie life.
The next year, all of us took a part as a senior and did the same to junior.
Life is about Give and Take hahaha, how pathetic it was.

What grades do I need to get where I want to go?
This magical quote from Elon Musk really reminds me about how to survive in dormitory aka senior high school life.
They taught me about ITB, UI, Harvard, NTU, etc in my 1st year at school. hahaahhaha LOL
Really a high achievement school, the best one in Sumatera.
We learned how to solve SNMPTN question from the beginning, LOL. I still remembered one of our Math teacher gave us some questions from "1001 soal SNMPTN Matematika Dasar" in exam test.
Hellooo, even we didn't know about major or uni that we want to pursue for our future. Hahahaa.
I really love my senior high school nightmare life.
I never be like this without that nightmare life.
I've seen ghost for the 1st time in my life when I still studied with classmate all over the night. We had no time to do our homework because of some dormitory's life.
Dormitory was full of horror stories. Theay said, my room was the horror one.
But my life was more horror than that stories hehehe.

I am so thankful and grateful.
I had senior who always share information about collage.
What major should I take? and some related question about uni life
(Fyi, why did they look cool/handsome in that time? Now? hehehe)


What grades do I need to get where I want to go?
Wah, such a throwback moment.
My best motivation how to survive at senior high school.
Far away from parent.
21 km from home.
All of them were my new friends at that time.

Go home once a month.
You must loundry your own clothes. ( but I payed someone to do it)
You couldn't bring your smartphone, only feature phone are allowed (but I still brought it to dormitory lol)
No boyfriend (ini kasian banget, yg pacaran bakalan putus ditempat)

But at the end, I was so happy
Yeay. Now, I had so much stories to tell with friends, HAHAHAHA
And maybe I'll share the stories my children hihiih

Love,
