Abstract

The phenomenon of students pursuing the wrong major is a prevalent issue in higher education, yet it remains minimally explored from a philosophical perspective. This study aims to explore the experiences of students who feel mismatched with their major through the lens of Stoic philosophy, particularly focusing on aspects of feelings, attitudes, and actions concerning fate. This research employs a philosophical inquiry approach. Data were obtained through in-depth interviews and analyzed using the Stoic theory of fate acceptance, which encompasses feelings, attitudes, and actions. The findings indicate that students in misaligned majors were able to reflect on their experiences in a Stoic manner by managing negative emotions, accepting reality as an optimal part of fate, and undertaking rational and prudent actions in their academic pursuits and future trajectory. This finding suggests that Stoicism can be a relevant approach to addressing the psychological dynamics of university students. This study contributes to the development of reflective approaches in academic advising and enriches the discourse of practical philosophy in higher education.

Abstract

The rapid development of digital technology has transformed patterns of political participation in contemporary democratic societies, including within Muslim communities. In recent years, Islamic digital activism has increasingly emerged through social media platforms such as TikTok, Instagram, X, and YouTube, which function not only as spaces for religious expression but also as instruments of political mobilization during electoral contestation. Muslim millennials, as digital natives, occupy a strategic position in shaping and disseminating Islamic political narratives in online public spheres. This study aims to analyze how digital activism influences Islamic political mobilization among Muslim millennials in electoral politics. Using a qualitative approach with digital ethnography methods, this research collects data through social media observation, online discourse analysis, and interviews with Muslim millennial users actively engaged in political content. The findings reveal that social media has transformed conventional Islamic political mobilization into a network-based and emotionally driven movement characterized by viral narratives, religious symbolism, and influencer-centered campaigns. Furthermore, digital activism strengthens identity-based political participation while simultaneously intensifying political polarization in online spaces. Theoretically, this study contributes to the development of digital political Islam discourse by integrating theories of connective action, cyber politics, and contemporary Islamic activism within the context of electoral democracy.
