College - The Greatest Gratitude

"Now I understand why they say the friends you make in college will be your friends for life, I've met the best people here"

Alhamdulillaahi rabbil a’lamin… Segala puji dan kemuliaan kembali pada Zat Yang Maha Memberikan Kekuatan. Segala puji bagi-Nya yang memberdayakan di tengah kelemahan dan keletihan. Hanya syukur dan pujian yang pantas terlantunkan atas setiap butiran nikmat dari gulir detik ke detik yang mengagumkan…

Alhamdulillaah… setelah vakum sekian lama dari dunia per-blog-an dikarenakan mengejar deadline skripsi, mengikuti lomba PIMNASXXIX d Makasar, dilanjutkan dengan menata kehidupan pasca Sarjana Teknik, akhirnya saya bisa kembali menuliskan sepotong cerita di kehidupan perkuliahan.

Masa perkuliahan telah mengajarkan bahwa teman-teman kuliah telah menjadi keluarga saya. Kami telah melakukan banyak kegiatan bersama, makan, istirahat, berkelahi, tertawa, nangis, hingga tidak melakukan apapun sama sekali. Orang-orang yang telah menghadirkan warna-warna indah dan kehangatan di kehidupan kuliah ini.

Oleh karena itu, saya mengucapkan terima kasih dan rasa syukur terbesar kepada keluarga dan para sahabat yang telah hadir, meninggalkan memori indah dan mengisi hati saya. Tulisannya dalam bahasa Inggris karena dicomot dari bagian 'Foreword' (Pendahuluan) skripsi saya.
