Hey Everyone. I'm Shiza.
Welcome back to my YouTube channel
In today's video I'm gonna talk in English and Urdu mixed because that's how I talk in real life
and I've never done that before
I've never made a video in Urdu
I think it's a challenge for me so I'll just take it
So in today's video I'll tell you the difference
that I have noticed between university and college life
In my experience they both were very different
because my college life
wasn't that good
I don't want to go back there but my university life was comparatively
good, you can say that
not was. it's still going. I still have 3 more years left
because college life is still fresh in my mind
because it's only been 1 year. So
So I thought why not share the difference
that I have noticed between the two things
this was my experience
someone else's experience may differ
And I
really hope it differs because I don't want anyone to go through
the things that I did but I know
real life is much harder than
both of those combined
but today's video is all about
differences that I have noticed between college and
university life so if you're interested then keep watching
also like this video. also let me know how
your experience has been. if you graduated
university then let me know how your experience was
because I'm hoping that mine will be
a bit different in the next semesters. I recently posted
a video
and now I've hit a hundred subscribers
which is kind of a big deal for me because I
have not posted in more than a year.
I've been lazy. Thanks so much for the support
means a lot
and one more thing I'm wearing a lot of makeup
I'm just now realizing it
because it's more visible in natural light
it's because I haven't done
anything to my face the last few days
and today I had to do it because I had to make a video
and then I did too much
and now i'm regretting
but it's okay
it's not that visible in the video anyway
if you guys can see it and you're okay with it then I'm okay with it
I feel like my voice gets down when I speak
because that's how I speak
and one more thing I don't like my accent
I'm not even Punjabi but my accent is a bit like that
and i don't know how to fix it
so please don't notice
so without further ado let's jump right into the video
The first thing that I would say is different
between the two is that in college
we have consecutive classes
like school and stuff
and also in my college my physics teacher used to talk in a low volume
and we couldn't hear her so I spent the two years sleeping in her class
you're sleepy and it's physics class so we'd fall asleep
it was like this. we'd get a break between the classes
and she would always have two consecutive periods
80 minutes almost 1.5 hours, we'd fall asleep
or we'd chill
I'm telling a general thing. We used to have consecutive classes but
in between classes we sued to relax because of things like this
and also in college if you don't want to study you can slack and
you can go home and
study that topic in academies
but in universities you don't get that option
there is YouTube, you can study from there
it's hard to understand some teachers so you study from YouTube
I've also studied some subjects from YouTube
but you have to pay attention in class
because if you don't to the lecture then you won't know what you're studying
If you stop studying at one place
then you won't understand anything after that
in the last semester I used to have consecutive classes. half the semester we studied in university
then after that at home
there we used to have 5, 6 hours consecutive classes
and one class was 1 hour and some teachers
teach the entire hour. They don't give a break
I'm the kind of person that makes notes
I can't study or understand if I'm not taking notes
if I write then i can read it once at home and it'll be clear
if not then I won't remember anything
and you also get sleepy if you aren't doing anything
so writing for an entire hour
every single point the teacher is saying is hard
so after just one class you get tired
so this is one difference
in college we have consecutive classes but they don't feel like it
and in universities consecutive classes feel more
The second thing was that
I had a YouTube channel
I had a public Instagram
In college I didn't have one
I don't know if this is something related to girls
but they have an attitude. they knew i had a youtube channel
it was very rare because
only the ones I was on good terms with
would tell me they've seen and videos and all that
they would support me
The rest didn't even acknowledge the fact
In university, when i went there
within a few weeks I had
so many new followers on my Instagram. so many
people knew that I had a youtube channel.
when you're new everyone is curious
who and what you are
people check and stalk
when people found out about this
they got more curious
people started forming opinions about me
the way i am in videos, i am the opposite in real life
you can say that
I'm very open here.
I say a lot of personal things here
and when i'm editing
i think that i can't post this on the internet
and sometimes i end up posting things that i shouldn't
in real life you obviously have a filter
you don't talk about everything with everyone
especially when you meet new people, you don't tell them personal things
i'm not sure if they even watched my video or not
they just knew that i make videos and that
alone was enough to make them feel like i'm a very open person
so people started judging me and it came to a point
 
i was no longer comfortable
next thing that i would say is teachers are
no longer going to push you
until college
the first 12 years
teachers know
who studies and who doesn't
and they push you accordingly.
they tell you what to do (guide you)
you lack in this, you should do this
they help you a lot, without even asking
and sometimes we even get annoyed. in university
if you're not asking for it, no one is going to help you
it's very rare that people help you
it's rare that they help you without asking
tell you to improve in this and that
but it's very rare, people don't help you that much
you should know yourself that you need help in this subject
and i should ask the teacher for their extra time
and go there and study or ask a classfellow
or whatever. They do help you
teachers do help you but
you have to ask yourself. teachers don't help you by themselves
another difference is of events
in my college we used to have different events
i'm not sure
i don't remember if we even had any
because i didn't go or even participate
there's not a lot of events in colleges
they focus more on studies
in my college, mostly
they would take us and tell us tips on how to solve the final exam
even when they let us out of the class, they would take us there
they made us study a lot
but in universities there's a lot of events
there's like 2-3 things in a single semester
some people tell you to participate in those events
some say otherwise
coincidentally, the friends i made
i don't participate that much but
maybe in 1 thing
one of my friends participates in every single event
 
another one also participates a lot
and i don't. the first event we had
when university started, they participated in it
i wanted to participate in it
but i wasn't sure
because i knew if i didn't participate then i won't come
they pushed me a bit
so i did it and i participated in one thing
and it was a weekend event
i didn't miss a lot of classes and i participated
but there are some events where you have to miss classes
some are very time consuming
that you can't even concentrate. you have quizzes, assignments
there's always something going on
at any given moment, university students have
a lot of things to do
there's always something going on. if you participate
in which you have to prepare a lot
so you'll have a lot of issues because you won't have enough time
 
you'll be neglecting your studies while doing that
so doing that much extra curricular activities should be avoided
in college you don't get that many opportunities
to participate in co-curricular activities
but in university you get wayy to many opportunities
and you should know how to utilize them properly
otherwise you'll end up messing up with your grade
the next difference that i noticed
was
the sexism. in colleges there's no sexism
you don't really have to prove yourself to anyone
i went to an all girls college
all my life, no one told me that i'm a girl, i can't do this
she's a girl, she came into engineering, she can't do anything
such things were never in my family
and i never saw them ever
but when i went to university i saw that
the field is very male dominated
in the class the majority is boys
and obviously there's an image that
girls are dumb
boys are smarter, they work harder
boys work better
there's a lot of things like that in our society
that people use
i've faced a few things where
people made me feel like
since i'm a girl so i don't know stuff
some teachers do that
not many, maybe 1 or 2
sometimes some classmates do that
that also happened once or twice
i never faced this in college
or in life
and it's not something that i want to experience again
this shouldn't be a thing
if you're standing in the same position as someone, you've worked the same amount
i didn't get admission because I'm a girl
or any other reason
my name was in the merit list, that's why i got the admission
all my male fellows
also got admission because
their name was in the merit list. now in the future
if someone discriminates you
or if you give a judgement they
feel that if it's you giving it then it must be wrong because you're a girl
this happened to me once. these are the kind of things
that didn't happen before and i'm still
getting used to it. if you haven't yet gone to university
and you're about to start
i'm telling you this thing happens
and if you're a girl it will happen more
one more thing that i don't think i've faced personally
it's not that common in colleges but it happens more in universities
because in colleges, even if someone is a teacher's pet
 
they don't have that much benefit in befriending the teachers
because the teacher won't be checking or making the final exams
so they can't do you much favour
but in universities the teacher who's teaching you
they will mostly make the final exams
and they do the checking
so there's a lot of chances of favoritism
and a lot of teachers do favoritism
this doesn't happen in colleges and it's a new thing
and it takes a lot of getting used to and i don't think i've ever faced this
another thing which is
very rare in colleges is snakes.
and in universities this is something
you don't even have to be a part of it
to know that there are a lot of snakes
and i don't think i've experienced anything like that
because i don't interact with that many people
i only interact with my friends
i only expect from them
i don't ask random people for assignments
 
you meet many people who get help from you
but when you ask for help they don't help you
or they say one thing and do another
there's different kinds of things, leg pulling is a common one
i never found any
i'm saying it again, i never found any snakes
i'm not calling anyone a snake
i never had that bad an experience with anyone
so i won't
this is all i have for you guys today. don't forget to like
this video and
subscribe and like i said in the beginning, let me know
in the comments what your experience has been like
and if you're a graduate then please let me know that
it gets better
if you haven't yet studied in a university and
you'll start this fall and if you saw the whole video
then you'll get an idea of what to expect and
i want to tell you one thing, keep your
expectations to the minimum. i'm the kind of person who doesn't expect
that much but i kind of did expect
things from this chapter of my life
and i would say i was kind of left disappointed
so be careful about that
and don't get distracted
and enjoy your life
so i'll see you guys in the next video
