Tindakan Refleksif Mahasiswa Tingkat Akhir dalam Menghadapi Quarter Life Crisis

This research focuses on the quarter-life crisis problem caused by having finished studying at university but being confused about choices for the future, also due to demands from the surrounding environment regarding the economic sector and also due to academic stress. The more often you experience pressure, the more likely an individual will start to develop negative emotions and views of themselves. Final-year students often experience negative feelings such as confusion, insecurity about their own abilities, and feelings of depression and loss of hope for the future. The aim of this research is to analyze the reflexivity of final-year students in facing the quarter-life crisis. This research uses descriptive research methods with a purposive selection of informants analyzed using Ulrich Beck's Risk Society theory. The quarter-life crisis that final-year students are at risk of experiencing is influenced by awareness of the future, which causes feelings of anxiety, overload, feeling burdened, and feeling left behind by others. Then, the research results also show that to face risks in the future, final-year students carry out reflexivity by improving their skills and also participating in organizations, training, or internships. Social class is also a supporting factor for student reflexivity, but not the main one. Because they have unlimited access, the upper and upper middle classes have better opportunities for reflexivity than the lower and lower middle classes. And social support is also very necessary when final-year students practice reflexivity.
