Dear Indonesian Students,

Especially the 12th graders

Hi seniors!

Have you thought what major would you like to take in the university level? Probably, YES! Some of private universities in Indonesia have opened their registrations for direct admission for the next term. So I bet that some of you have chosen the major but the problem is, "is that really the major you like?"

Sometimes, 12 graders are too late to think what major they like so that they choose the major based on their parents, or probably their friends. Whereas choosing a suitable major for you would make you enjoy uni life. Life in uni is not as easy as in high school and university students often say that if it is possible, they wanna come back to high school. By taking a major you like, you'll never feel burdened.

IF you haven't choose your major yet, and you don't know what major you should take, I'll give some tips! ;)

1. KNOW YOURSELF

It is said that there's none knows you better than yourself. Well, it's true! If you feel that you don't know yourself yet, I'll tell you a link where you can know your personality which is only able to be taken once in 6 months. You only need to do a questionnaire(in English) which takes around 30 minutes and they will give you clear explanation of the result.

2. TAKE A PSYCHOTEST

Psychotest is expensive but if you are reading this article right now, you are lucky! My friends told me a website for students whose confused of choosing a major. In that website, you can know yourself, found your interests and personalities, recommendation of jobs, exploration of careers and majors, and make your own CV. You will also need to do questionnaire in Bahasa,

3. UNIVERSITIES SURFING

If you have known what major you wanna take, you should choose which universities you wanna go in. Each university has different quality of each majors so you are required to check the quality. Since technology has grown so much, you can search a good university both in Indonesia and abroad. You can google it with a keyword such as "Ranking universitas teknik terbaik di Indonesia" or "Rank of the best universities in the world", etc.

Above are some tips for my beloved seniors. If you are a 10th graders and 11th graders, please think what major you wanna take. I'm now studying at grade 11th and I was thinking of what major I wanna take and it was really confusing. But I have found several majors to take! :D I did a research btw hahaha. 

Best of luck 12th graderssss!
