Kolonialisme: Pendatang vs Pribumi

Sebagai dua pihak yang baru bertemu, ekspresi pertama pendatang dan pribumi yang kemudian jadi pengkoloni dan koloni sebetulnya sama: saling heran, takjub. Menjadi mahasiswa semester 7 departemen sejarah tak lantas membuat saya menjawab ‘apa arti kolonialisme’ lebih cepat dari anak SMA. Logikanya seperti anak bayi tak bergigi yang makan bubur dan orang dewasa yang makan nasi. Ketika disuruh makan, gampang buat orang dewasa untuk melahap bubur dalam sekali telan, tapi tidak ada yang mau mengukus sayur-sayuran, daging, dan nasi serta melumat lalu menyaringnya untuk orang dewasa dengan gigi-gigi lengkap.

It never be a magical process happened in your only one night sleep as we told how Prambanan was built, so everyone must be ready with their own brand new journey. I wrote this just if in case, you’re sleeping but in the next day wake up as a university student and don’t know what to do. I hope that is the major is your favourite, because I think that is the key of happiness, but if not, just let it be, Hakuna Matata , and please gladly watch my guidance. This is not all about university life, but only about your study. I came from an ordinary Indonesian highschool, so I am an ordinary student too. Research, ‘real’ scientific paper, and everything else surrounding my days in university life is strange for the old me.
