Enjoy the Internship Life -

Hi, good night, all.
It’s been a while since I shared my silly thoughts on this small blog, hihi.
By the way, happy fasting and enjoy Ramadan! :)

......

Such a simple prologue,
How's life been? (again)
Is it boring or challenging? Too hard, or are you happy?
Hmm, I hope you’re all finding joy in wherever life takes you.

So, today, I'll share my story—how I’ve been stumbling through life,
What I feel, and just some random thoughts.

Here we go!!!

Every day, I follow the same routine,
Like a "cuan fighter" battling through the hours, HAHA.
Yes, I’ve taken on two internships at once,
A big risk, a long challenge against time.
Maybe it’s a bit unprofessional, but that’s where I am right now.

I’m interning at two big companies,
From 10 AM to 5 PM, and sometimes into the night.
Some might see me as ambitious, but that’s not my intention.
Honestly, I wasn’t sure if this was the right decision,
But, surprisingly, I’m enjoying it, guys.

First, there’s Mapan, a company that might not be familiar to most,
But guess what? It’s part of GOJEK!
I started on February 7th and was supposed to end on May 7th, 2022.
But I’m honored my boss wants to extend my contract (for who knows how long).
I’m so happy my efforts are appreciated, and I always do my best,
Completing tasks quickly and efficiently.
Mapan feels like home to me,
Especially the Product Design team—so friendly, so kind.
A special shoutout to Mas Icaks, Mb Zulfa, Mas Nathan, Mb Icha, and Mas Aan—
They’re all so kind and always appreciate my work.
Can you believe they graduated from top universities abroad,
Yet remain so humble and professional?
Thank God I get to work with them.
Honestly, UI Design wasn’t my passion at first,
So I was shocked when they accepted me as an intern.
I was the only intern, alone in this new world,
But I’m learning more every day.

Second, there’s TaniHub Group,
Where I was also surprised to be contacted for an internship (through the MBKM program).
I had almost given up hope of being accepted anywhere.
I started as a UX Researcher, a role I was eager to dive into because I love research.
I met Mas Robert, a Senior UX Researcher who has worked at Tokopedia, TaniHub, etc.
He’s amazing, always sharing his knowledge,
But then, sadly, TaniHub hit hard times,
And many workers were laid off, including all the UX researchers—
Including Mas Robert.

Just as I was beginning to learn UX professionally, everything changed.
I was moved to another division,
Back to Product Design (why, again and again?).
But no worries, I can still learn there.
I’m now on a different team, just me and my senior, Mas Anjas.
If you want to imagine his face, think of REFAL HADY, HAHAHA.
He’s the "just relax" type, and I felt awkward at first.
After all, it’s just the two of us working together.
Honestly, TaniHub and Mapan have completely different vibes,
But I’m learning to enjoy it.

DO YOU GUYS THINK MY LIFE IS BORING?

Yes, sometimes I do too.
I feel like I’m always working on my laptop every day,
But guys, I feel more valuable now.
I can pay for my daily needs, learn about investing,
Pay my university fees, and so much more.
I hope everyone can feel this way too.

Sorry again if this was just a random ramble.
See you guys on the next journey :)
