MY FIRST YEAR UTM EXPERIENCE

Hi. My name is Najiha. This post is about my first year experience here in UTM Skudai. UTM is highly known because of engineering. My ambition is to become a great engineer. When I found out that I got to UTM which was my first choice, I was really happy. I know that my mom and dad seems to be worry about it. They were worry if I could not able to catch up in here.

During the first day I reach here, I feel happy, sad and even worry. I keep thinking whether I can survive or not. When my parents already say goodbye and my new roommate when out, I really do feel empty and thinking maybe I could never survive in here because I never am good in making friends. I suppose I never worry about whether I can catch up to study or not but I am more worry in fitting in with strangers.

But when orientation week begins, I guess it was not hard at all. You could say that I actually did not stick with anyone and called them as my close friend but I do enjoy knowing everyone. I never actually acting crazy and screaming and even dance along with the music. It was so fun and I wish I could do it again.

When the class already started, I am so scared to be leave alone but I guess I was wrong again because they surely are the best. Getting in here I suppose the best fate ever. I even learn how to speak louder, be more polite, be more helpful and be more friendly. They were right. Getting out of UTM with not only a roll of diploma but fill with soft skills.
