Not That Far Away

So like I've said in my last post, I'm going to uni soon. Well the thing is, I'm not only going to uni but

I'M ALSO MOVING TO ANOTHER TOWN FOR UNI!!!

I really don't know what to feel right now. A part of me is excited because moving to a new town means it's a new dawn, it's new day, it's a new lifeeeeeee
And I'm feelingggggg goooooooooooood.

Lol no seriously. I'm excited because this is what I've always wanted! I want to explore. I want to travel. I don't want to get stuck in one place when God has created this beautiful gigantic earth. But on the other side, I'm also scared aaand nervous. Not gonna lie, I am the kind of person who can easily get homesick. And this is gonna be the first time I'm living on my own sooooo yeah, just wish me luck. I know I can do this.

Anyway, if you know me, you'll know that I've always wanted to take Psychology Major since forever. Sooo do I stick with that plan? The answer is nope. I had a sudden change of heart and I just decided to follow it. I hope I will not regret it. Besides, Gibbs always said that we should follow our gut, right?

So yeah, now I'm saying goodbye to Psychology, and saying hello to International Relations!

Why IR?
Well it's not like I was not interested in IR before. IR has always been my second choice after Psychology, but I just thought that I was not good enough. IR requires a LOT of memorizing and I just felt like I would not be able to handle that. I'm not saying that Psychology is easy, because it's not, but Psychology has been more of a comfort zone for me since I was raised by a psychologist that I call mom. But now I realized, why should I be afraid of my own thoughts? Difficulty should challenge me, not defeat me, right?

Another reason is that I want to give a direct contribution in making this world peaceful. You know, I've been watching a lot of news lately and it just saddens me that there are a lot of wars going on right now. To me, it's not only a matter of religion or annexation issue. People could care less about that. But people should realize that it's a matter of humanity. Innocent children are dying and this just bothers me a lot. People have been saying "where the hell is United Nations?", but saying that will not fix the problem, will it? So yeah, I hope by majoring in IR, someday I can work in UN and do real actions instead of just complaining.



Future office, perhaps?
AAMIIIN YA ALLAH.

Okay last but not least I'm gonna write some song lyrics about moving to a new place, which is totally relatable to me right now.

"Oh but workin' too hard can give you a heart attack
You oughta know by now
Who needs a house out in Hackensack?
Is that all you get for your money?
And it seems such a waste of time
If that's what it's all about
Mama, if that's movin' up then I'm movin' out."
Billy Joel - Movin' Out

"I'll spread my wings
And I'll learn how to fly
Though it's not easy to tell you goodbye
I gotta take a risk
Take a chance
Make a change
And breakaway"
Kelly Clarkson - Breakaway

"Momma I promise I'll be alright
I'll call to say I love you every night
I'm just tryin' to write the story my life
You know all about this dream I gotta chase
I get a little closer everyday
California Yogyakarta is not that far away
I'm not that far away"
Jennette McCurdy - Not That Far Away
