     Hi there! My name is Shinta Ardini. I am from Mampang Prapatan, South Jakarta. Currently, I am studying English Education at Tama Jagakarsa University. I am passionate about learning languages and binge-watching K-dramas in my free time. Here is a fun fact about me: I am a huge meatball lover.      For my morning routine, I usually get up at 5 A.M. to start my morning prayer. After that, I go back to sleep (but hey, I am not Sleeping Beauty). Then, I get up again at 8 A.M., take a quick shower, get dressed, and have breakfast (do not ask, I always have a heavy meal for breakfast). Finally, I am ready to start work at 9:30 A.M.      Then, I want to describe one of my classmates. Her name is Susan Waita, but you can call her Moana. She is super friendly, effortlessly funny, and her happy energy is contagious. Being friends with Susan feels like having sunshine in your group every day.

With a big smile, not a fake smile, but real happiness you can feel. Oh, and let us not forget the glass of coffee she is holding. As people often say, coffee is that little boost of life that helps you work with a happy heart.      As you can see, maybe she is just in a meeting with her co-workers. Or maybe she is working on a project and just got some great news that made her genuinely happy. Plus, the trendy and cozy cafe atmosphere is definitely helping her work with joy. Do not miss the eyeglasses in front of her laptop. Who knows, maybe after work she will snap a photo and upload it to social media with hashtags like #WorkVibesOnly or #JoyInWork.      When you work with joy, every moment becomes more meaningful and the work feels lighter.
