The efficiency and quality of learning that takes place in a classroom can be greatly enhanced by maintaining a clean and proper environment. A clean learning environment offers obvious advantages for both the student and the institution. Some of these advantages include fewer sick students in the classroom, better overall classroom performance, durable learning materials, less student absences, and improved mental health for the students.

Telkom University is by no means a dirty campus, there are, however, some sectors that needs to be improved upon when it comes to the cleanliness of some facilities that they provide, which in turn also affects the usability of said facilities. Things like the trash that is piling inside the classroom desks and the lack of garbage disposal on both inside and outside of the classroom, just to name a few.

Furthermore, there are some facilities that are barely usable at the moment of writing this blog, one such example is the card-tapping attendance system, that does not work at all, even after two months studying here and shows no sign of getting fixed. The classroom lamps, which occasionally flicker during class and interfere with studying, are another infrastructure that need proper repair.

Having said that, I believe that all Telkom University members should have the right and obligation to maintain and improve the cleanliness as well as the propriety of the facilities that are provided by the campus, which enhances the harmony of teaching and learning activities while also making them run more smoothly and comfortably. One strategy that support this idea is to impose a fine on anyone caught littering on campus or to anyone who broke the facility that is provided by the campus. The money collected through the fine might then be used to repair some of the broken facility or purchase a new one.

College subjects are more of than not, anything but easy. What we were taught in senior high school differs significantly from what we were taught in the first few months or even years of university education. Some students are already adapting to these changes and are able to manage their studying method as well as time management in order to counter it. However, there are some students who are falling behind due to various reasons, be it their own indiscipline or other personal cause.

In this case, I believe by equalizing the acceptance of material, knowledge, and understanding for everyone, will benefit all students, inside one class at the very least. One way we can achieve this is by assisting those who are struggling to comprehend certain subject materials. To do this, we can use a variety of media. For instance, in my class, there are some students who are struggling to understand the subject of programming. To help them, some students would sometimes gather online on a Friday night to assist, discuss, and explain the areas that the others were struggling with as best they could.

Creating a structured study group would be an excellent supplement to the method that is previously recommended, not just for programming but also for other topics that some students found problematic. But setting up a regular study group is challenging. In addition to those who are willing to teach the others, we also need the initiative from students who feel that they are lagging behind in particular subjects. Some students are well aware that they are lagging behind, but they continue to ignore it.

With all that said, I think it is important for us to take it upon ourselves to help the others to have an equal footing when it comes to academics, which in turn, also increases the excellence of Telkom University students. This will help us and the other students who are struggling in certain topics, saving them from having to take remedial classes. The lecturers will also benefit in some ways from this, because, the study group may go over some of the materials that the lecturer has taught over the past week and clear up some of the issues and misunderstandings that other students may have during classes, as some subjects are far too complex for some people to absorb all at once. But once more, if we want to make this work, the other students also need to take the initiative.

At first glance, this word may seem weird and difficult to understand, but by breaking it down one by one, we can get a general understanding of what it actually means. First, let's define the term "Egoistic," which literally means to be absorbed with oneself and the satisfaction of one's own desires. The second word, "Altruism," is the polar opposite of the first and is described as an unselfish care for the welfare of others. On the other hand, egoistic altruism combines those two traits, resulting in selfish activities that will ultimately benefit everyone.

It seems like a really noble character at first, but putting it into practice in real life is easier said than done. Due to the quest of survival—be it biological survival, achieving one's goals in life, or having the chance to express oneself authentically—humans as a species have acquired somewhat egoistic tendencies or natures. People usually want others to assist them back if they were helped in the first place because this is a moral commitment that practically everyone has, therefore putting that tendency aside for the benefit of others is in no way simple.

Nevertheless, if we are able to put our egos aside and just help those in need, without any conditions or expectations of reward, we can improve the quality of life in the community. A location where everyone can advance collectively and develop into a useful individual who significantly improved the community. It does not have to be anything grand, we can start with the minor stuff. Because, even a little assistance can make a big difference. Simply start with a situation that is under your control, in this case, the environment and community in your class.

In order to implement this character, we don't need to look any further than the SDG stated previously. For instance, to maintain a clean and appropriate environment, anytime we observe rubbish stuck inside a school desk or perhaps even just near the trash can, we should, if we are able to, place that trash into the trash can. Or perhaps you could offer to assist your friends if they are having trouble understanding any of the homework the lecturer provided them. As I have said before, it does not have to be something big, because even the tiniest actions might just be the push other people need to complete their tasks.
