Abstract

This study examines the extent to which the compatibility between a student's major and their interests affects their learning experience at Universitas Negeri Medan (UNIMED), particularly in the Accounting Department. The findings indicate that many students feel that their major aligns with their interests, which in turn boosts their enthusiasm for learning. However, some students choose their major due to parental pressure or promising job prospects, which ultimately leads to difficulties in their studies. Additionally, students face various challenges in the learning process, ranging from heavy academic workloads, difficulties in understanding certain subjects, to the pressure of managing time between classes and other activities. These challenges are exacerbated by the demands of mastering accounting technology and adapting to an Outcome-Based Education system. To overcome these obstacles, students employ various strategies, such as improving time management, seeking additional learning resources, joining academic communities, and securing scholarships or part-time jobs for those experiencing financial constraints. This research confirms that the alignment of a major with a student's interests significantly influences their academic success. Therefore, it is essential for the university to provide better guidance in major selection and offer enhanced academic support to help students adapt more easily and succeed in their studies.

Abstract

Advances in digital technology and social media platforms have created new ways of interacting in society, especially among Generation Z, who were born and raised during the digital era. Social media not only functions as a communication tool, but also as a place to build self-image, compete for popularity, and gain social recognition. The emergence of digital hedonism can be seen through a culture of showing off, excessive consumption, and the desire to gain public exposure through viral content. This article explores the importance of Pancasila as a flexible ideology to overcome this phenomenon by linking several real examples, such as teenagers borrowing expensive items for content, young influencers displaying bank balances and cash, competition among digital creators, and prank content that harms others. These examples illustrate a decline in morals and a deviation from Pancasila values, ranging from a spiritual crisis to a loss of empathy in society. This study emphasizes that restoring Pancasila values is essential to shaping the character of Generation Z so that they do not fall into moral decline in the digital age. This recovery can be achieved through character education based on Pancasila, critical digital literacy, the role of the family, government regulations, and the strengthening of public ethical norms. Thus, Pancasila remains relevant as a moral and ideological guide that can overcome the challenges of globalization and instant culture.
