Life story of a student in the cottage

---

Starting from life at the boarding school

Crying That is what a santri always does, until he falls ill. Do not want to eat, often daydreaming, and being alone is also the custom of santri.
Life in the cottage is not alone, sometimes there are various problems that students must go through.
Not as smooth as we think. Whether it's personal problems, education, cottage conditions, and problems that we are familiar with, namely the problem of friends.

Friends that we think are good, we always smile. In fact, almost all santri students are not at home in the cottage because of friends. We don't need to confide in friends, when we have problems.
Because venturing with friends can never solve our problems. What is there is only adding to the burden on ourselves.

That problem, will harm ourselves. As a result, we become lazy to learn, lazy to eat, even we will be very stupid people because we have wasted our free time to learn to disappear.
Always think about things that are not important. In our minds only friends, friends, friends.
Not that we don't need friends, but at least we always
depend on friends.

At the cottage we have to live neutral as we are. Don't choose friends who are of rank, beautiful, and so on.
In order for our friendship to be eternal, it is not easy to break up because of that factor.
We don't need to confide in friends about all the problems we experience in this cottage.
Because friends are human too, it must have its own problems. They will not always think about our problems and always accompany us.

In my personal opinion, a good step is to "confide in GOD".
By multiplying the remembrance of GOD, Reading the Qur'an.
In fact, if we need to wake up in the middle of the night to work on the four roka'at prayers which are called Tahajjud prayers. Asking GOD for guidance so that we are given strength in dealing with the problem. Prostrate and cry to GOD.

Don't cry in front of a crowd, because it will show that we are weak, can't face our personal problems. Awaken our passion to achieve our goals.
In order to reach our main intention in seeking useful knowledge and blessings.
Remember, our parents who are earning a living for our families, finance our school.
Who works hard day and night tirelessly, and no need to complain. So, let's not just rely on a friend, because we still have parents and stay in the protection of the ROBBI.
Fight ignorance in ourselves, not fight with friends.
