I didn't get the college/university that I wanted. In fact, I got nothing aside from a mat...

unnecessary to follow what ur friends are pursuing, focus on what u want to do and how to achieve it. if matriculation can still help u to get the degree of ur interest then grab the opportunity. it's only for a year and u will get allowance too. no pain, no gain.

but if ur financial status allows, then u can apply for private universities.

dont let others decide ur life, its not like everyone is taking the same path. let the world revolve around u

Don't worry. You don't have to be pressured just because your friends was accepted. You might not be for the one that you chosen but who knows?.... There will be a great future ahead of you. A better plans for you. Just keep on doing what you really wanted to do. Follow your heart.

I've just finished my Form 6 and I'd like to let you know that I've got a tons of friends in Matriculation and not only did they get into university faster than me, they also got in easier and they seem happy with it! So don't be sad that you got matriculation! Form 6 is also an option but be forewarned that you really need to work your ass off on this path. I have friends who tried the Form 6 path but dropped out after the 1st/2nd semester because they didn't feel it was right for them. It's alright to explore your choices! Taking a gap year is also optional! Getting some work experience under your belt before striving for your studies again is also not a bad option as well.

I didn't said I'm following my friends. I was sad because I didn't get the university that I wanted which also includes a course that I wanted. They got the course that they wanted which is why I envied them. I'm more into literature and going into a matriculation college means that my dreams in taking literature would be over. Plus, I got the 2 year program. And I'm so bad with numbers. I don't even understand why I got matrics when my Add Math is 'E'.

*sigh* Guess I jusf have to brace myself and be ready to meet numbers again

I got matrics in Perak. Yupp, the problem is that I can't work with numbers and I'm more into literature. But then, I've got no choice and will have to go there no matter what since I've got no other place to study lol

Thank you so much for this. I was feeling miserable the whole day and somehow this makes me feel much better :')

Yup, I've heard that science stream for Form 6 is like super duper hard lol. I might as well take the "kemanusiaan" stream in Form 6 but I still don't know what to do. Plus, my parents are kinda urging me to accept the matriculation offer. Thank you so much for your advice tho, it really means a lot to me :)

Matrics are cool. altho i turned down matric for form 6, but its still cool. if your friend got universities, i believe they got into the foundation (asasi) or diploma. both of it got their own perks but still, matric life are cool. i got few friends from matrics and they really love their time there. you should give it a try! and from matric, if u do well, u can go to renowned universities. it doesnt matter, am from form 6 and now overseas already pursuing my master.

maybe try next year? if that's possible for you

Yup, most of my friends got diploma. I've heard a lot of things about matrics. Both bad and good things. Tbh, I don't even know why I got matrics when my spm result was not even that good. I was expecting Form 6 but then *sigh*. I really wish I could still pursue my studies in literature since it seems like that's where my heart and brain lies lol. But then, going into matrics might as well change that and maybe I'll fall in love with numbers again. Who knows.

I'll just take this as a challenge and do the best.

And woww, you're studying overseas! That must be super exciting. What course are you taking right now?

Idk if that's possible tbh. Maybe I'll just accept the matriculation offer and try my best :)

Well, if i may say, its better for u to go into matric, its only for a year? Like foundation? (Idk, back in my time it was only a year but my younger cousin went for two years idk why) while in diploma u need to spend three years (but u got advantages on the experience compared to form 6/matric because diploma got practical and all). So u can pursue your degree faster than those in diploma. Have u talk to your school counselor? Trust me, they'll explain better. But if u like literature, go for it. I was from the art stream in form 6 before pursuing my degree in tesl. Most of my friends from matrics are pursuing engineering, and lab works (biology/chemistry/physics) and seems like they're having some promising future lol.
Currently in aussie, finishing my master in curriculum development for tesl. You see, its okay do take your time on your ride. We're still young, we can always do a uturn if we want to

Yup, that's why I'm so nervous about accepting this offer since I know my ability and I really doubt I can survive all those numbers and calculations there. I got science stream and unfortunately, there's no technical stream in Perak Matriculation College. And accounts... urghhh. I just don't know what to do.

And I already applied for rayuan earlier but I'm still nervous because if I still don't any offer from the rayuan, I'd have to stay in matrics since I got no other place to study

I'll just try my best in matrics and pray that my rayuan will be accepted.

I actually got the 2 year program in matrics because of my Add Maths lol. I've already messaged my school counselor earlier and hopefully she'll reply soon because I'm kinda going crazy here lol. I actually wanted to get Foundation in TESL, it has been my dream since forever but then I didn't get it and it felt like my heart stopped for a while after reading the "dukacitanya, anda tidak berjaya" when checking my upu earlier . It totally crushed my heart.

I've already applied for a rayuan earlier for diploma in bahasa inggeris in upsi and I still don't know if I'd get it but I'll be staying in matrics while waiting for the result to be out. Let's just hope I'll get it. But if I don't, I will do my best in matrics and still keep literature as my hobby :')

no, please reconsider about replacing literature as a hobby.

u kno when i took matriculation, i went for module 3 bc i enjoyed biology so much during highschool. i hated math, but it didn't really affect me. but after i ended matriculation, i realised that i enjoyed bio but i never wanted it as my career job. so in uni, i decided to pursue bachelor in business instead (i wanted psychology but it didn't work out neither). did i said i hated math? yeah after studying business for 3 years, i realised math is my mortal enemy. i had enough of them, i had no interest to learn about them and i only did bc it was compulsory. i have dissertation this year, and i have zero motivation to make an effort. in between those 3 years in uni, i actually realise that i want to learn language, and actually intending to make is my career in the future. but right now i have to graduate before i gain my freedom again u__u

my conclusion is, if u already sorted what u want to do at such an early stage then it gives u a huge advantage. i only realised math is my mortal enemy after learning it in accounting for three years. i really want to praise myself for not dropping out till now TT___TT i always been interested to learn a foreign language since i was in high school but i never had exposure about them (all my circles are pursuing science stream) so i thought if i really like them, yeah sure why not as hobby. i can still enjoy them while i go stab my eyes with these math formulas... hahaha i regretted that.

i hope ur school counselor can help u sorted out a solution for this (i dont have anyone who is pursuing literature to ask for advice). goodluck

Thank you so much for your advices! It really means a lot especially since right now I'm still in a confused state. I really don't know what to do because matrics is my only choice that I have rn. Literature has always been my passion and I feel like applying a diploma in TESL for the rayuan but then at the same time I heard that you can only be a teacher if you pursue that course and I really don't want to be an educator. Idk why but maybe because I suck at teaching ppl.

And I really love Bio too, it's the only subject in the science stream that I enjoy learning. That's why I feel like taking module 3 in matrics too. I'm just really worried about Maths and Chemistry right now since both subjects are compulsory in matrics yet I really suck at them *sigh*

Please pray for me that my rayuan will be accepted because then I'd be able to study what I love which is literature. If not, I'll still try the second intake for uitm. I'm never giving up in pursuing what I love.
