Embracing a New World at Universitas Tadulako: My First Day as a Student
Full of nervousness and enthusiasm, I stepped into the gates of Tadulako University for the first time. The first day of lectures in the Department of Economics and Development Studies marked the beginning of a new chapter in my life. Tadulako University, located in the city of Palu, Central Sulawesi, welcomed me with a warm and enthusiastic atmosphere.
Entering the classroom, I was greeted by friendly lecturers and new friends from various regions in Sulawesi. Brief introductions pave the way for warm interactions and friendships. Our lecturer explains the learning system and provides an overview of the courses we will study in the Department of Economics and Development Studies, such as Microeconomics and Macroeconomics. The class atmosphere feels lively and full of enthusiasm. Every student was enthusiastic to ask questions and discuss the material presented. I was inspired by their enthusiasm and began to feel optimism for the future at Tadulako University.
As time goes by, nervousness slowly begins to be replaced by a feeling of comfort and enthusiasm. I started to get used to the campus environment, got to know more new friends, and increasingly understood the learning system at Tadulako University. Every day feels full of new experiences and valuable lessons.
