Perpisahan

Perpisahan. Pikiran apa yang muncul di otak pertama kali kalian ketika mendengar atau membaca kata itu?



Mungkin kalian akan langsung menjawab kata-kata yang sifat negatif, ya misalnya seperti sedih, pilu, sendu, muram, dan segala kata-kata yang gloomy banget.

Disini gue mau ngomong kalau sebenarnya perpisahan itu ada juga baiknya. Yang namanya perpisahan itu nggak selamanya selalu sedih-sedih, kok. Kamu malah seharusnya bersyukur dengan terjadinya perpisahan ini. Tau nggak? Setelah perpisahaan itu, kita pasti bakal merasa ada yang namanya KEBEBASAN. Ya ini semisal selama kamu berhubungan, kamu dikekang tidak boleh begini-begini-begini, dan selalu diatur.

Cobalah ambil nilai positifnya dari perpisahan. Jangan selalu berpikir negatif. Ya, kamu sangat boleh sedih. Menangis kenceng-kenceng, selama berjam-jam, seharian, semalaman. It's really okay to cry sometimes. Menangis itu membuat lega kok. Ada banyak orang yang kalau marah, emosi, pasti ngeluapinnya dengan cara menangis. Menangis itu manusiawi. Cowo maupun cewe BOLEH menangis. No double-standard.

Tetapi inget, besoknya kamu harus udah BANGKIT. Bangkit dari keterpurukan, bangkit dari kesedihan kamu selama sehari kemarin itu. Gak ada guna nya menangis terus-terusan berhari-hari. Trust me, it's a waste of time.

Selagi bangkit, kamu bisa mengerjakan kegiatan sehari-hari. Udah, lupain aja masalah itu. Itu masalah di masa lalu kamu. Inget, masalah lalu, gengs. You have to move on! Live your life in the present NOW. And start working for the future.

Kamu juga bisa banget kok belajar dari kesalahan masa lalu. Salah satunya dengan introspeksi diri. Self-reflection. Apa sih yang salah dengan aku sehingga bisa terjadi seperti ini? Ayo, coba direnungkan dan dipikir-pikir lagi. :)

Selain itu, cobalah memaafkan. Forgiveness! Cobalah untuk memaafkan mereka yang menyakiti kalian. Dengan memaafkan, hati kalian tuh bisa lega! Biarin kalau mereka tidak terima maafmu, yang penting kamu sudah minta maaf secara tulus.

Di setiap perpisahan juga pasti selalu ada jalan. Kalian yang mengalaminya, tolong jangan menyerah. Pasti selalu ada jalan bagi mereka yang bersabar. Ada yang nanya, "Tapi, ya sampai kapan?." Jawabannya, "Ya sabar aja..". Yok, gapapa ya melucu sedikit.

Kamu juga bisa minta tolong ke Tuhan untuk diringankan bebannya. Minta kekuatan untuk menjalani ini semua. Ingat, Tuhan ngasih kalian cobaan berat ini biar kalian jadi kuat kok. Tuhan SELALU memberi kita yang TERBAIK.

Itulah hidup. Selalu ada cobaan agar kita lebih kuat, lebih kekeuh, guys! Life is like a rollercoaster, it has ups and downs. So, don't give up. Stay strong. Hope for the best! I know you can get through it. Be grateful!


Love,

Andrea. xo

[1/2] PSYCHOLOGICAL TEST IN LPT-UI | TES MINAT BAKAT DI UI

"Gue masih belum tau passion gue "


"Belum tau mau masuk jurusan mana waktu kuliah"



"Psikotes di UI?"


-----

Hi guys! Thank you for taking your time for reading this post. So, here's my story about taking the psychological test in UI last August.

So, me and my three friends went to the campus, University of Indonesia in Salemba. We went there to take the psychology test. I heard the test result was so worth-it if you didn't know your potential, your passion, your real-personality, etc. Hahahaha.. Like me... :))))

A couple of weeks before, when I was in Jogja, one of my friends, Nia, offered me and the other friends to take this psychological test in UI Salemba. Wow. Well, I didn't have any idea, there's such things like that. However, I really really really wanted to attend it. Yeah, It is because actually still didn't know what is my potential, what is my passion, and such things like that. Like I really want to be a psychologist in the future, but sometimes I kind of afraid that my dream is not appropriate with my real passion.

Okay, firstly. I woke up at 6.05 am. Yes. It's kinda late. I was a little panicked. Then, I went to my friend's house, Davine, with my driver. I finally arrived at Davine's house, but.... But.... SHE ACTUALLY JUST WOKE UP FROM THE BED LMAO. She hadn't prepared everything too. That was probably the funniest thing that happened that day.

Short story, we arrived at the location. I got a little confused about the exact location, but Nia said the building was near to a trash bin. LOL.

Next, you had to take the registration paper firstly, then waited in the line. The registration paper was small by the way. We only had to fill the name, school, The queue was long enough, but it didn't take the time. Me and my friend checked our names on the name list, but our name wasn't there LMAO. However, the staff said it's okay and just go to the room. Oh, right. The registration fee is IDR 225K!

So we went to the room and took the test. Yes, it was a really, really long fight :-)
The questions made my head feel dizzy, but fortunately we had a break time. 

Eventually, that was my experience. I didn't tell you the details because it would be a really long post.
If you interested in taking this test, here I'm just going to tell you my own tips:
1. Bring your own pencil, eraser, pen, and correction pen.
2. Don't come late.
      Get rest well the night before! If I'm not wrong, the test started at 8 or 9 am. I recommend you to         come early in the morning. :)
2. Bring lunch from home! You'll get hungry.
      Of course, if you hungry, you cannot focus on the test. You can eat the lunch on the break time.
3. Prepare yourself, your mind.
      The test will be held in a very long time, so don't get tired.
      Don't be too excited, don't be anxious, don't be annoyed at something.
      It is because your mind will affect the result later.
4. Focus!
      Focus on the test! Don't be distracted by (negative) thoughts
5. Don't forget to bring the registration fee (IDR 225K)! 

Also, if you have any questions about the psychological test, please comment down below. I will be really glad and will try my best to answer it clearly. :)
