Mind BoX

Honestly, I feel like betraying my commitment by skipping a lot of posts. I feel so sorry for that. But it couldn’t be helped since these past 3 weeks there are a lot of things happening in my life. My family were coming. One of my siblings held an event at home so everyone was visiting us. My thought was so caught up on recruitment because I had to undergo 3 interviews. My friends from another city came over. So here I am trying to make time for this week blog post. I won’t talk about serious topics like I usually do. I want to be a bit chill because I need a break seriously. Therefore for this week post I want to talk about books, my favorite lifetime bestfriend.

I’m not what they say. I own my life. I belong to where I want to be. I write my story, not with their pen, but with my own one. zaturania Notes : I wrote this piece because I was inspired by Tara, the main character of a memoir entitled Educated .

Malang, 20 Agustus 2017 Hayo, adakah di antara kalian yang lebih suka eh sering membaca status, gosip di media sosial, dan mantengin instagram stories daripada membaca buku? Hmm, bisa ku bayangkan ada beberapa di antara kalian yang mungkin agak tersinggung dengan apa yang aku tulis di atas. Haha chill out fellas! Baca sampai habis dulu ya sebelum meradang. Tidak bisa dipungkiri memang di jaman secanggih ini dengan kemajuan smartphone dan murahnya paket data internet, media sosial bisa dijangkau kapanpun dan dimanapun. Status teranyar, berita online, gosip terhangat, dan vlog macam apapun bisa dinikmati semua pengguna smartphone dan gadget semacamnya. I think it’s kind of normal nowadays. Cuma agak sedikit disayangkan sih melihat kondisi tingkat literasi masyarakat Indonesia yang sepertinya semakin anjlok dengan gempuran canggihnya teknologi. Banyak yang langsung percaya berita hoax tanpa dipikir dan dibuktikan lebih dahulu lalu dengan sekali klik tersebarlah berita terseb...
