Feb 19th, 2026
hi its 2026 and i havent update anything for 3 years but whatever.
so quick update, im in my 5th semester right now going to 6th. im currently waiting for the result of my 5th semester. and usually during this time, we can already register for subjects for the next semester.
the problem came when we about to register for elective subjects. in our curriculum structure, we supposed to take 12 credits field elective and 12 credits free elective. they already specify which subjects are field elective, so we can choose from there. but for free elective, they dont specify, which means we can take whatever subjects in the uni thats available.
we are in this multimedia whatsapp group where the admin will share info regarding the course or registration. and before registration, she shared this list of elective subjects we can take. we need to take 6 credits of field electives this semester, which means each student needs to take 2 elective subjects. there are only 3 subjects on the list. and each subject only has 20 quotas. we have 54 people. yep, classic stupid uni management.
if you do the math, its not enough for everyone. i register a little late, because i made late payment. so when im about to register, obviously, every subject is full. no empty seat. and when i check the name list, there are several greedy skanks who take 3 elective subjects at once. you supposed to take two. i dont know whats their problem beeing this selfish and making it hard for other people to register their subjects. really, why are they so fomo. we are not runnign out of subjects or anything. in the study plan, we supposed to take TWO FUCKING SUBJECTS only. maybe they saw other people battle for it, and they got scared they wont get a seat. but three? come on, there are many others who do not get their seat yet for field electives! im already pissed of becuase one of them is my friend.
again, she doesnt even like the subject. and this subject that i want is the sequel to the subject i take in last sem. she doesnt even take that subject! i want to ask her, but she doesnt seem to let that seat go. anyway, not just her. there are several others who do the same thing too. freaking idiots, i really cant with this people.
anyway, i was pissed. i hate the management, i hate my friend. so me being me, i dont want to follow these people. i try to register the other elective subject. in the list given by the admin, there are only 3 subjects. but if i follow the curriculum structure we was given, there is one other subject that is available, but is not in the list. it was a mobile app development, and i think its perfect because it can be useful for me, a future front-end developer. mobile app is in demand right now, so i want to learn the coding, interface etc.
BUT and of course theres a but, there a lot of unneccessary problem with this one. most of these problems do not come from me, it was from, you guess it the same idiots mentioned above. this subject is not in the list given by the admins. and in out study plan, it says we need to take field elective SKMxxx. it didnt specify why it says SKMxxx even though there are other electives that do not start with the code SKM. mobile app subject starts with the code SSE. so again, me being me, i assume this is just normal human error and not that serious. maybe the person who made the study plan forgot to consider other subjects that do not start with SKM code. why am i so confident with my assumption? because in the curriculum structure, it stated there clearly, that there other elective subjects that do not start with SKM code. but it still count as field elective because we share it with other computer science department. including mobile app subject. even in the student portal, it said mobile app IS FIELD ELECTIVE. when i register it, it IS included in field elective, not free elective.
so i register mobile app anyway. there are only three people in the class, including me. the other are not from my course unfortunately. but i do not care. i want this subject. i have aimed it since before i started my first semester. after register, i announceed to my friends i take this subject. and them being "follow the flow" crowds asked can it be taken? because the list only stated 3 subjects. and this subject does not start with SKM bla bla. so i was like, yes you can take it. why else it was in our curriculum structure. and they were like you should ask the lecturer bla bla. they were so worried and for what.
to prove my point, i asked my PA aka personal edvisor aka my lecturer aka a man that will reply your whatsapp halfheartedly or no heart at all. i asked him at 1.40pm, he seen it, and replied at 4.38pm. i asked him two questions and even provided some evidence (screenshots), because i know people like him dont like to vastly explore my problem that much. he then answered, very short btw, with "yeah you can". i think he just skim through my message. because i asked him if mobile app included on field elective even though it does not started with SKM code. but well i guess, if anything happen, i will point my fingers at him. because i like pointing my fingers to anyone but myself.
so it was settled on my part. i told my friend mobile app is still counted as field elective. but of course, them being "i follow whatever they fed me" crowd, they were not convince. and the class having lab time at friday, making them dont want the subject more. but at that point, i dont care. i already convice myself that sometimes, people are wrong and i am right. i dont care attend a class only consist of three poeple with no friends. this is maybe to prepare with jobs in the future. i cant always being with my friends. sometimes, i need to learn to be independent.
a little background about my friends, they dont like getting out of their comfort zones. they are not as competitive as i am. they dont worry about their future as i am. i want to join hackathon so bad, i want to have resume with full experience. but it was the opposite with my friends. they only think about now, not then. and maybe becuase im also someone who needs friend at their side, i cant join these porgrams because i have no friends to accompany me. yes, its a fault on my part. i should branch out and find new competitive friends. but we are in third year already, and everyone seems to have their own friend group. it would be weird if i suddenly want to join their friend group for my own benefit.
my friends are the type to follow what was given. they dont really care what subject they take, as long as the credit taken is enough. they dont care what they learn, or if the subject is relevant to what they want to be in the future. they are majority introverts, and and they like being in the shadow, dont like being called out. not that its wrong, but they dont want to be active as me.
dont get me wrong, i love them, i love that they are nice and we can hang together just fine, but it pissed me off a little that they have no ambition. they dont want to do things that can beenfit their future. they are not worried that being computer science student does not guaranteed to land you a job. sometimes i wish i pick a different friend group. i almost get a friend group that is active in college, but maybe it was a first year. i thought it people just hasn't started to be active yet. now im in my third year, i still havent join any hackathon like i want to. while my other batchmates already joined several hackathons. im a bit shame for myself.
anyway, back to the registration. as of now, none of my friends joined me to take mobile app subject. and guess what was worst? they add quota for the 3 elective subjects. but i dodnt know when they add it, and my friend who earlier did not get the spot, register subject without telling me about the additional quotas. and now its full again, and i cant get any subject that i want. i hate this. everyone is an idiot.
that friend also said she MAYBE will take mobile app, but not as field elective, but as free elective. and i asked her, but isnt mobile app field elective? and she said no, because it doens start with SKM. IDIOT. oh my god i swear to god these people. what more do they need to convince themself that it IS field elective. even if they go to the student portal and register it, it will say its field elective. they still didnt believe me. i lowkey think they see me as someone who is clumsy and hard-headed and have so many free will. they will never think im serious. but whatever. i have surrendered. i hate talking to these two dimensional people.
maybe im the problem, or maybe im just be realistic here. anyways, im taking that mobile app, friends or no friends. i hope it open their eyes that sometimes, you have to follow your instinct.
