assalamualaikum!
here i am today crossing one of my life bucket list.
so, i've been occupied these past few days with farewell and final year stuffs particularly on final year viva presentation, dissertation and final exam too. i ended my very last paper yesterday. the lecturer had been helping too much for this one especially on the questions he gave us and the coursework mark. so there shouldn't be an excuse from me to not pass nor score. this one too shall pass.
5 years. it was a tough journey. i never had the thought that i could finish it two weeks back then. i was exhausted back-to-forths with my final year project, not to mention many long cuddling over the keyboard, trying to make the words come out right for my project dissertation writing.
i learned incredibly valuable things throughout this five years. on entering university for foundation programme on may 2010, there is absolutely no way i would have imagined the things i have done, the experiences i have had, all that i have achieved and the incredible people i have met. alhamdulillah, i have been fortunate and privileged enough to be able to learn from many people who know better in every single things that i encountered.
some of my juniors who were just finished their internship and about to pursue their final year studies had bombed my whatsapp for the past few days with tonne of questions, "how can i survived my final year with tonnes of projects and all?" "what major should i go for?" "how do you cope with it"
here are some tips that i think might help (clearing my throat hehe):
graduate in bachelor (eng) of chemical engineering

here are some tips that i think might help (clearing my throat hehe):
1. what's matters to you defines your mattering
regardless of what engineering programme you are in, go for major that can makes you passionate, you stick with it and get educated in it. doing something you love makes your life 1000% fulfilled, 1000% more interesting up to the extend where the subjects you learnt, the lecturers who taught you, the classmates becomes a part of you too.
2. nothing worth having comes easy
go wholeheartedly into anything in order to achieve anything worth having. this is the truest i think. as what i learnt in principle of chemical engineering class that,
mass in = mass out
it keeps telling that i only get out what i put in. and it is no lie. so if you think it's worth it, do it. think of how good it feel when you finish.
3. time management
knowing as a final year student, things around you might be a roller coaster ride. every single seconds are all about chasing the deadlines or you dead. be aware of how you use your time and get some me-time for your own self, okay? do not procrastinate in doing things, and you will be fine.
4. be kind to people near you
you will get like endless of joshes from your seniors how stressful final year it is (like what i did in previous point hehe). at those times when everything was going haywire and you are being pulled in multiple directions, still, be kind to others. for everyone we meet is fighting a hard battle. even saidina abu bakr mentioned to his companions, "if you expect the blessings of God, you have to be kind to His people".
5. do more of what makes you happy and be happy
final year shall not stop you from doing things that makes you happy. because at the end of the day, you are doing something that would change your own lifetime. smile and stop acting so small.
all the best !
