This study aims to explore the influence of digital media on language variation among college students. Using qualitative methods and a literature review design, this study analyzes how digital media, such as social media, online communication platforms, and instant messaging applications, influence language use among college students. The results show that digital media triggers the emergence of language variation that includes digital slang, changes in grammar and spelling, and the transfer of foreign culture and vocabulary. Although digital media provides a space for students to express themselves creatively, there are concerns about the negative impact on formal language proficiency. Therefore, this study emphasizes the importance of collaborative efforts from educational institutions and students to maintain a balance between linguistic creativity and the preservation of formal language.

Tarawangsa is a traditional musical instrument from West Java that has distinctive sound characteristics and is often used in various traditional ritual ceremonies. However, in the modern era, the younger generation's interest in this cultural heritage has begun to fade due to the dominating influence of contemporary music. The purpose of writing this report is to explain the application of L Cut and J Cut editing techniques in the video feature Merangkai Tradisi dan Eksplorasi Modern Tarawangsa Sumedang and to introduce and preserve Tarawangsa music through collaboration with modern music that can attract the attention of the younger generation without losing its traditional essence.
