You realize you're a psychology undergraduate student when...

*based on personal experiences.And oh yeah, I'm guilty of using excessive English without paying attention to grammar and such. It's just the way I think recently. Bear with me.

1. People start seeking YOUR advice
2. ...and expecting you to be super-patient listening to their rant
3. ...and giving you dirty look when you say, "I can't help you solve your problem, I'm still a freshman..."
4. Some people acts ridiculous in front of you because they are afraid that YOU can read their mind ("Do I look like Ki Joko Bodo to you?")
5. You think some people's hatred for Sigmund Freud's theory is kinda overrated. (I mean, seriously...Old man Freud's opinion cannot be blamed for moral degradation.)
6. You restrain yourself from using words like 'autistic' and 'schizophrenia'.
7. You start using phrases like 'the law of effect' or 'tabula rasa' in everyday conversation (and having people looking at you like you're some weird alien from unnamed planet outside the Milky Way)
8. You caught yourself analysing your potential romantic interest-to-be (teeeeheeee)
9. You realised that Erik Eriksson is not a Swedish football player.
10. You're busy interrogating your little cousin to prove those developmental psychology theories you learn in class
11. ...and being frustated when the only response you got from your little cousin is a loud, annoying cry.
12. ...and questioning your ability to be a psychologist because you're really tempted to slap your little cousin and tell him/her to shut the hell up
13. having people said "Lho, katanya calon psikolog...," when you feel stressed and need to  talk to someone.
14. Your aunt asks you to test her son/daughter's IQ
15. You know that in spite of all the condition above, you think psychology is fascinating and you're excited to learn more about human and their minds... (or is it just me?)

AND YEAH, STARTING MONDAY, I'M A SOPHOMORE! YIPPEEEE YAY!

It seems like just yesterday I'm standing in front of my campus, wearing a ridiculous nametag, and afraid of being bullied by my sunbaes...

OK, that's a hyperbole. I realise that I have passed a long time being a college student, what with all those crazy assignments and presentations, and all those nights I spent under caffeine effect, typing my paper almost without thinking. It's difficult to be forgotten. The last one year was really not a short and leisure time...

Okay, enough with my crappy English. Let's switch to Bahasa~

Mulai Senin, aku bakal punya adik kelas (atau karena aku sedang terlanda Hallyu wave akhir-akhir ini, mari kita sebut mereka hoobae :D). Aku udah ketemu sama mereka karena aku jadi panitia PMB (Penerimaan Mahasiswa Baru) Fakultas. Tepatnya, jadi anggota divisi OFE.

Buat yang nggak tahu, OFE itu singkatan dari Observasi dan Feedback. Seperti namanya, jobdesc OFE adalah bikin tata tertib, mengobservasi apakah maba (mahasiswa baru a.k.a MY HOOBAES! Oh I love calling them 'hoobae'!) menaati tata tertib itu, dan memberi feedback supaya ke depannya maba bisa lebih baik lagi. Sering disalahartikan sebagai 'tatib'-nya Psikologi, tapi sebenarnya pasang wajah garing sambil teriak-teriak marah ga jelas (tau kan, stereotype-nya seksi tatib) nggak termasuk jobdesc kami. Yah, kadang-kadang emang harus pasang wajah tegas, misalnya pas ngawas kuis. Coba aja bayangin kalau OFE ngawas kuis sambil cengar-cengir, meureun maba-nya juga ga akan nganggap kami serius, dan menyontek dengan tenangnya. Kita pasang tampang sangar aja masih ada yang enteng nyontek kok (!!! seriously, people. Pengawas ujian, waspadalah! Waspadalah!).


Inilah orang-orang labil penghuni divisi OFE. Bertanggung jawab atas bikin para maba make nametag bentuk kupu-kupu yang supah-kewl (baca: supercool), buku perkenalan bentuk kupu-kupu juga (karena tema PMB Fapsi 2010 adalah metamorfosis...dan kami tergila-gila sama kupu-kupu. Isn't butterfly supah-kyutz?), belum lagi bertumpuk essay dan tugas lainnya. Kami berada di belakang layar penilaian transkrip dan pemilihan maba terbaik, juga pemberian feedback yang bermutu bagi maba atau dalam kasus aku, feedback yang rada ancur. You'll be missed a lot, 
OFE 2010...SUPAH-KEWL!
serius mode : on
ceria mode : on

Dan tentu saja...belum lengkap kalau aku nggak majang foto panitia PMB 2010...

Ini dia orang-orang yang rela pusing encok pegel linu demi kesuksesan PMB 2010 dan penyesuaian maba 2010 ke lingkungan Fapsi. Semoga tujuan kita tercapai ya teman-teman! :D

Dan walaupun aku nggak yakin bahwa akan ada anak 2010 yang baca...tetap sebagai sunbae yang baik hati, tidak sombong, rajin menabung, dan pandai memasak walaupun kadang berwajah jutek, itu mah emang setelan default dari sononya, aku mengucapkan...

WELCOME TO THE JUNGLE, TEMAN-TEMAN FAKULTAS PSIKOLOGI UNPAD 2010!
You're the part of the family now!

Mari kita bersama-sama menuntut ilmu dan bercinta, kalau mengutip lagu Himne Psikologi sih.
Dan jangan lupa hadirlah di acara PASPOR a.k.a Psychological Academic Support. Buat yang terpilih jadi panitia PASPOR juga, bekerjalah dengan sepenuh hati, give us your best OKAY! (pesan sponsor wakil ketua Madam --masa pendampingan, bagian dari alur penerimaan mahasiswa baru di Fapsi-- Academic Support yang hampir noneksisten huhu)
Tschuess!
Salam penuh cinta!
Vera

AN buat orang-orang yang tidak (atau belum) ketularan Hallyu wave alias hantaman gelombang artis dan budaya Korea (SHINee daebaaaaaakkkkk!Ridho Rhomaaaaa!*eh?):
sunbae : senior
hoobae : junior

Pelajaran Berharga yang Vera Dapat Minggu ini

  1. You SHOULD reply all text message you have received immediately . Why? Because waiting is a boring thing to do in general. And sometimes it is more than just 'boring'. It's freaking annoying. Or more. If you can't, please reply whenever you have a chance. Don't forget to give some logical explanation. Preferably honest. But lying is better than not replying. Seriously. (I know I do this thing --not replying text message-- a lot, but don't worry...I've learned my lesson) 2. One with boyfriend/girlfriend should NOT flirt with another boy/girl. Really, it's just sickening to watch. 3. If you have some silly romantic-relationship problem (e.g. someone's trying to flirt with your romantic-interest and/or your romantic interest seems like scared at the idea of being near you and/or...name it yourself) go to the nearest bookstore and buy a novel you've already wanted for years . Don't even look at the price. Just buy it. It may dra...

Aishiteru - Kizuna (a.k.a. The Movie That Made Me Feel Like A Stone-Hearted Cyborg)

Image
Aishiteru~ Kizuna (I Love You~ Bonds) DVD Cover It's been a while since the last time I posted my Monday with Masaki reviews. I kind of miss fangirling in public writing about it, and I still have some unwatched Okada Masaki's movies lying around, so here it is! This is actually a TV special, continuation from the drama Aishiteru~ Kaiyo (2009) . I haven’t watched the drama, so I was a bit worried that I could not follow the storyline easily. Turned out that it can be enjoyed on its own. All the needed background information from the original drama was summarized briefly at the beginning by Sano Shiro , who played the father of a murdered child in the original drama. Er…a murdered child, you say? Yes, you read that right. Aishiteru~ Kaiyo was about a 5th grader who killed a 2nd grader, and how their families were shattered after the event. It seems like a very emotional drama, and according to Sano Shiro, it made the casts contemplated a lot about th...

Tujuh Bulan Lewat : KKNM Sukatani Januari-Februari 2013

Image
Pesan sponsor : Kunjungi juga blog KKNM Desa Sukatani Januari-Februari 2013 (yang sebagian besaaaar banget diurusin oleh Andre. Terima kasih Andre :)) Akhir-akhir ini saya sering ditanya sama junior-junior saya, "Kak, kalau KKN enaknya di mana ya?" Sudah mulai ya, gegalauan pilih tempat KKN? Saya jadi ingat, tahun lalu, saya ada di posisi itu. Nggak galau sih, lebih cenderung ke nggak peduli. Teman-teman dekat saya sampai lupa kalau saya juga bakal KKN pada Januari 2013, soalnya saya nggak menunjukkan bahwa saya memikirkan itu sama sekali. Gimana ya, sebagai koor acara Training Pengembangan Diri Fapsi 2012 (asik) dan sibuk sama laporan praktikum segala macam, galau KKN nggak punya tempat di otak saya. Well, ada sih, setitik, di pojok, nyelip di bawah sofa, silakan dicari sendiri ya, makasih. Lagipula kan sudah ada teman-teman yang janjian bakal KKN bareng (Tifa dan Ufi). Jadi ya, biarkan mereka yang memilih. Saya sih ikut aja. Mau di tempat yang dekat sama kot...
