CampusNet – Four student traditions to welcome the month of ramadan. Ramadan always becomes a special moment for students, especially those in their 2nd and 4th semesters. At this stage, students start building a stable campus routine while still dealing with various academic challenges.
Have you ever felt like managing both studying and worship during ramadan is a constant tug of war? Don’t worry! Second and fourth semester students have their own strategies to handle both without missing out on meaningful moments. Want to know their secrets? Let’s explore how they keep up with ramadan traditions while staying productive in college life!
1. Balancing Class Schedules with Worship
Second-semester students start to take on a more serious academic rhythm compared to their first semester. Meanwhile, fourth semester students tackle more complex assignments and projects. During ramadan, they adjust their class schedules to fit in religious activities like sahur (pre-dawn meal), iftar (breaking the fast), and tarawih (night prayers). Many students break their fast in class or on campus before getting back to studying.
2. Building Friendships Through Iftar Gatherings on Campus
Students love hosting group iftar (bukber) events to strengthen friendships. Second semester students usually join more iftar events with their classmates. On the other hand, fourth semester students carefully choose which events to attend and often turn them into networking or academic discussion opportunities.
Student organizations also hold regular iftar events combined with social activities, such as sharing meals with local communities or donating to orphanages.
3. Completing Assignments and Taking Exams During Ramadan
Even in the middle of ramadan, students keep working on assignments and preparing for exams. Second semester students focus on foundational courses that require lots of individual tasks. Meanwhile, fourth semester students handle advanced courses with group projects that demand strong teamwork.
To stay productive, many students shift their study schedules. Some prefer studying after sahur, while others focus after tarawih. Many also choose to study in the campus mosque, where they find a peaceful and focused environment.
4. Using Ramadan for Self-Reflection
Besides staying on top of their academics, students also take advantage of ramadan to strengthen their connection with Allah. They join ramadan lectures, participate in Qur’an recitations, and volunteer in social programs.
Second semester students often use ramadan to build better habits and grow their discipline. Meanwhile, fourth semester students reflect on their academic journey and future career plans.
Both second and fourth semester students balance academics, worship, and social life during ramadan. Even with all the challenges, they still enjoy this special month by embracing togetherness, self reflection, and the spirit of sharing.
