Being close to family and feeling the pleasures of teenagers outside in general is something that is very desired by all of us in the pesantren. But what can we do to feel the bitterness of studying without it all. It's like living in prison, but it's better because we too are in a holy environment, which is filled with people who are enthusiastic about studying and worshiping. 

With the discipline of time to worship, discipline in learning, and living between simplicity and togetherness is a sweet story for all of us.
