workload:
- University: usually have 2 or more projects plus the midterm to make up your mark. usually have the whole semester to finish those projects/essays
- HS: tons of projects, labs, tests, ISPs etc, piled on us to give us a "taste" of having "multiple projects at once"
schedule:
- University: you get to choose your schedule, with classes ranging from 8 am to pm, with different classes each week
- HS: Schedule chosen for us, so classes could be at the most inopportune periods, day-in and day-out, all semester long.
Jobs:
- University: if you get a job, you are only allowed to legally work up to 15 hours a week.
- HS: like you can ever get an evening off...
Skipping:
- University: who cares! You can get the notes later, you had to work on that essay worth 50% of your mark...
- HS: Detention! Phone call! Sound the alarm! oh, and by the way, you can't do homework in detention. we don't know why though...
Family:
- "oh, she's in university, she's got lots of work to to, let her alone to do it."
- HS: "hey beetch, come do the dishes, you can't be doing anything important."
Electronics:
- new laptop, new phone plan, new everything which parents/OSAP might be willing to help out with.
- HS: just try getting your bro away from the ancient, shared PC.
Accomodations:
- new place! your rules! they'll miss you so much...what will they do without you? (ie: who'll clean up?)
- HS: "this is my house so you'll do what I say!"; Clean up, even though you seem to be the only one doing so...; They can't wait till you move out...
Teachers:
- University: total oblivion to who you are...
- HS: they know who you are, who your parents are, where you live, where you sit, and how to use that all against you.
Friends:
- Uni: multitude of new friends (or none, if you so wish, total blend into the crowd is possible)! You get to pick who you want to be and hang out with; there are a lot more fish in this ocean.
- HS: You're still stuck with your BFF from grade 4, who turned out to be a total slut/pushover/retard/backstabber...but you can't just leave her, then she'd be a loner...you guys are friends, right? she still has your e-mail and phone number too...
Uni: the work never stops. the large projects don't stop the small ones from coming.
ReplyDeleteHS: it really doesn't matter if you don't get stuff done.
uni: There aren't nearly as many smart cool people as planned. in fact, most of them are cheating, annoying drunks
HS: friends you've known all your life so you know how to deal with them
Uni: residence is disgusting and people are mean and you can't do anything about it
ReplyDeleteHS: complain to parents and the problem is pretty much solved
Uni: work load is non stop and if you don't do any work you are screwed
HS: work load is relatively low, and if you don't do it, that's fine
Uni: expensive
HS: free
although i still hate highschool...
