Missing EWD was no problem at all

Every year, PBI Sanata Dhrma University has a certain event which is held to welcome the new students of this faculty. This event is called EWD (English Welcome Day). All new students have to join this event in order to know more about their new friends, seniors and PBI itself. When I was in the first year, I also had to join this event. It was kind of obligation program at that time. There were also a lot of requirements that must be full filled. At that time, I had to ask my seniors signs, bring "Indomie", candles and so many more. I had done with my requirements because I thought if I did not do that, my seniors would punish me.


At home, I thought that EWD must be so tiring so, I decided not to join it. In addition, I also did not like out bond activity such as camping. I was feeling doubt,whether join it or not. Finally, after talking with my friends who also planned not to join it, I decided 100 percent to stay at home and did not join EWD. However, I was still thinking about the consequences that I would get. Some of my friends had said that for everyone who does not join EWD, he or she must make a paper to be submitted to Kaprodi (The Chairman of PBI). I tried to ignore it and just missed EWD. Finally, I did not go to EWD event and just stayed at home. On Monday when everyone had returned from that event and come to the campus, I did not get any consequences or punishment also. I thought that missing EWD was actually no problem. However, I so regret because I missed one moment during my study in PBI.
