I think in Australia we don't really have the perception or expectation that university will be fun. We're a bit different than the USA, its more about the education than the whole experience.
@@Wooplot possibly, but I'm form Austria, so I wouldn't know... I mean, it's definitley about learning. But for some reason most people expect to have more fun in early adulthood. Instead, existential fear joins the server.
“I think you should experience it. You always say 'I want to experience things' but I don’t think you actually want to experience things because you would experience it if you wanted to experience things.”
it's honestly relieving to hear boring uni stories because my experience was not fun at all and i feel so insecure when people hype it up to be the best years of life
Watching this as I’m procrastinating from writing my personal statement to apply to a masters because I have severe fear of failure combined with fear paralysis 😍😍 love that
i swear the mike we feral rats get on the channel and the polite, relaxed mike we get on the podcast are two different beings. what the sibling sees vs. the pleasure to have in class. also not cutting to the clips after you reference a pop culture quote brings a whole new unhinged energy that i'm truly living for. we're winning. i love it.
I am actually in a Master's program right now... in ENGINEERING, and I have never resonated with any youtuber like you do. This shit is so relatable. 50 minutes of university tingz, I am living!
Honestly your Uni lifestyle sounds good to me. I'm only in my first year at uni and it's been VERY underwhelming so far thanks to the lockdown that's going on in Germany. But this episode kinda motivated me to keep going. Also I totally agree: lowering my expectations has helped me SO much in life. Thank you for sharing I love your videos and your podcast :))
omg I had almost the exact same experience, finished high school at 16, but started university a week before I turned 17. what happened, though, was that in that first week, all the teachers did the thing on which they make you introduce yourself to them and the class out loud, so i immediately became the butt of the joke of being too young to be there when I admited I was literally 16 yrs old. 👁️👄👁️
I was the opposite, I started uni (straight out of HS) at 20 cos ✨autism✨ and then did a TAFE course where I was 3-4 years older than everyone else, now I'm back at Uni and expected to graduate from my Bachelors at 25.
I loved this episode bestie would love a part 2. Also I so relate to being boring during uni didn't even date at all and still single during this pandi ugh crusty!
This makes me miss uni, all the crazy ass people you meet along the journey is something else. Like a musical number during a presentation AND asking for bizarre favours that aren’t even for them? Where else in the world does that happen but at uni? 😂
i'm so glad to hear someone talking about like actually going to class and studying and not just partying until black out drunk every night because i was feeling a bit shit about being that person ngl (also with having a longer like travel time to uni)
U r actually so inspiring mr. microphone, u definitely did have clearance to get in that genius engineering building 🫡 also the 2 peas in a pod story is so relatable shdjdhsjsj i too was motivated to do better bc i had a crush on somebody who was smarter than me hahahahhaha
I would like you all to know that I did try to research Mike's Masters Thesis and I would like MIKE to know that I cannot find the thing anywhere and I am really interested in reading it. So if you, good sir, could be ever so kind as to perhaps provide a link or a title for me, your humble viewer, to add another paper to the ever growing list of scientific research papers labeled "to read". ~thank uuuuu
i loved this episode!! i'm about halfway through my degree (i actually was supposed to graduate this semester w/ my bachelor's but uh that's Not Happening) and have thought about grad school since my degree (psych) is practically useless unless i go for a master's at the v least but i've lowkey become disillusioned about it so..hate That
I really wish I'd seen this sooner!! I just graduated and I'm trying to find a job and decide if I want to do a masters (atp I might do it just to fill the void of not having a job oml) life is CRAZY
I'm in second year computer engineering and I relate to the things youre saying on another level. Really cool to hear about your career path. We would've been friends in uni
We are on the same wave of parking mate. I study in Woodstock South Africa which is super dangerous but I don't trust the car guards so I park 4 blocks away next to a house and walk to Uni to save money and my car from being broken in to.
Even though I do NOT drink (at all, thanks Miss Glandular Fever for damaging my liver!) -- I also was a year younger, which meant I was 17 for my first year of unit too. It was extremely isolating, as people socialised and met up at bars + pubs, and I couldn't join.
I do empathize. I used to find no-drink groups (formal or informal) or hangout at people's homes from time to time. But I generally prefer my free time anyways, so I survived
It was quite literally life-changing for me. Organic Chemistry caused a metamorphosis for me and the process of being in it and dropping it pushed me closer to self-actualizing lol
Me feeling low-key depressed because I also started studying in 2013 but I still don't have my master's degree yet ;_; granted I switched majors TWICE as an undergrad before I found something I liked (CS) but still TT=TT
as someone who is about to commence an engineering degree thanks for confirming my suspicions that I shall not have a social life 1) because the course load is so hard/a lot, and 2) because engineering people are introverts who keep to themselves and we are all slightly weird. yay.
So he didn't go to Barbz University? yikes bestie that's embarrassing
did y'all know mike has a masters degree in mechanical engineering? 99 atar things
LMFAOOO.
What? I never would have guessed!!
ONG NO WAY 😱😱😱
Mike: chemistry, memorize, hexagon, circles and shit, started screaming
Me: I have never heard such an accurate description of organic chemistry
And for some reason organic chem is the one I enjoy the most... Guess I'm a masochist
@@papl20 Guess you are
Fun fact, actually really really sad fact: university is not even half as fun as it's cracked up to be.
Lol relatable

omg nearly 50 minutes long we really won
We did it Joe
20 hours ago? what in the secret viewing
@@nic9511 i think they're a patron 😯
😭😭fr I love long videos so much but I feel like content creators don’t think people like them
@@Jacob-gu3in oh sh*t ima pay for that I can't cope with these time zones
“I think you should experience it. You always say 'I want to experience things' but I don’t think you actually want to experience things because you would experience it if you wanted to experience things.”
sequel to this episode talking about moving to melbourne alone pls and ty
Yes please!!
pls
tag yourself I'm the university friend who is deteriorating
it's honestly relieving to hear boring uni stories because my experience was not fun at all and i feel so insecure when people hype it up to be the best years of life
Literally me too. Not just because of covid lol but I have like 2 whole fun stories from my uni days
watching this from an American university perspective is making me feel all types of ways
crazy that you graduated your bachelors when u were 19. im 19 and a freshman in college in the us and thats like everyone else
You’re the only person with enough personality to have an entertaining solo podcast
not me not going to sleep when I need to because of uni tomorrow, to then listen about a story about university... worth it tho
mike is the only reason i want to do a masters.. and the french visa
Watching this as I’m procrastinating from writing my personal statement to apply to a masters because I have severe fear of failure combined with fear paralysis 😍😍 love that
you are literally the reason im getting a masters degree
the podcast being almost 50 minutes...no no it’s true
so true bestie
omg mike has a masters degree? had no idea, that's so weird.
i swear the mike we feral rats get on the channel and the polite, relaxed mike we get on the podcast are two different beings. what the sibling sees vs. the pleasure to have in class. also not cutting to the clips after you reference a pop culture quote brings a whole new unhinged energy that i'm truly living for. we're winning. i love it.
the masters degree!! i am overJOYED that this had just been posted whilst i was ravenous for some good content.. and 48 whole minutes????? joy.
Word of the day is "CRUSTY"
Is that mike from Mike’s Mic ???
watching this instead of studying for my immunology, biochemisty and physics exams
I am actually in a Master's program right now... in ENGINEERING, and I have never resonated with any youtuber like you do. This shit is so relatable. 50 minutes of university tingz, I am living!

Thank you for sharing I love your videos and your podcast :))
ahh yes one of his 3 personality traits
this should be interesting indeed 🐀🐀🐀
That Australian university experience of never being able to find a park so you just end up parking 25 minutes away and walking is so relatable 😭
thank you for this, 'not everything is going to be fantastic all the time', and thats life !
I’m begging for a collab with plumbella 😭 imagine the iconicness
PLEASE THIS WE ARE IN DESPERATE NEED
YES AND STEPH0SIMS
chemistry made me cry at least once a week my entire second year of college it really changes a man
I'm going through thar rn💀💀💀
@@Wordofboredom I have a friend and she has the exact same name and chemistry is killing us as well.
I’ve been *consistently* this early, frankly it’s embarrassing for me. I blame the quarantine.

giving us mechanical! giving us engineer! so true bestie
I loved this episode bestie would love a part 2. Also I so relate to being boring during uni didn't even date at all and still single during this pandi ugh crusty!
I love how fluent you are in memese
hold on...... mike has a masters degree?
im not sure i think so
he literally never mentioned it??
Who's Mike? I only know Mike's Mic.
this really motivated me to study
This has to be one of my favourite podcast episodes of yours! Found myself laughing out loud more than once. Really enjoyed it x
Hearing mike talk about his uni experience gives me hope and motivation to finish my uni experience
Who isn’t tired of hearing about Mike’s degree? Because I’m definitely not for some reason. Also, Titi Mary says hi Mike!
Mike's tutor: thank you for changing my life
piece of paper: I'm literally a drawing of a gun
This makes me miss uni, all the crazy ass people you meet along the journey is something else. Like a musical number during a presentation AND asking for bizarre favours that aren’t even for them? Where else in the world does that happen but at uni? 😂
I enjoyed this ep a lot. We have similar experiences! I wish we could see those technical drawings you did
I can listen to your story times all day 😂, I listen while doing my uni homework
I think maria was trying to get rid of steve but maybe she should've been clearer about it to you like a "help a sister out" not a "date me NOW"
One of my fav podcast episodes bro
Mike: the memory is not the best
Also Mike: *raps all of Nicki's lyrics*
these podcast episodes are getting better and better bestie
Eye love these podcasts!
i have never related to anyone's uni experience more in my life
bye homework hi mike
i'm so glad to hear someone talking about like actually going to class and studying and not just partying until black out drunk every night because i was feeling a bit shit about being that person ngl (also with having a longer like travel time to uni)
Gurls stomach at the end really said 😡🗣
U r actually so inspiring mr. microphone, u definitely did have clearance to get in that genius engineering building 🫡 also the 2 peas in a pod story is so relatable shdjdhsjsj i too was motivated to do better bc i had a crush on somebody who was smarter than me hahahahhaha
Two peas in a pod 😭 I relate to that story so much
PLEASE DO A PART 2!!! Listened to this while procrastinating to prepare for my engineering instrumentation amd measurements final exam tomorrow 😌💅
I love your stories, thank you and good night
First year chemistry here, will probably drop out ❤️
the way that this episode about his masters degree is one of his longest episodes. i-
These time zones are killing me I've got work in a couple hour's 😩 I'm gonna watch anyway ✌️
My college experience is non existent, thanks to miss 5,2 over there🙄
I would like you all to know that I did try to research Mike's Masters Thesis and I would like MIKE to know that I cannot find the thing anywhere and I am really interested in reading it.

people in mike's 1st & 2nd year: psych
mike: ok bestie let's go
*a few moments later*
psych: psyching
mike: get that fire exit door, I'm off
i watch these whenever i do not want to be ✨perceived✨ with some noise cancelling on and wow bestie really keeps on serving
i've been waiting for this one! turn it up!!
dont cry for me argentina ???? LMAOOOO
amazing episode, loved it so much
I really wish I'd seen this sooner!! I just graduated and I'm trying to find a job and decide if I want to do a masters (atp I might do it just to fill the void of not having a job oml) life is CRAZY
I can't explain how excited I am to listen 2 thisssss
when he mentioned he was in his friends car singing to nicki the other day, that hit hard. Still big time bad panarama here in the UK :(
love u bestieeee thx for keeping me company while i do work :D best podcast ever
I'm in second year computer engineering and I relate to the things youre saying on another level. Really cool to hear about your career path. We would've been friends in uni
Your master degree is a cultural reset. periodt bestie.
We are on the same wave of parking mate. I study in Woodstock South Africa which is super dangerous but I don't trust the car guards so I park 4 blocks away next to a house and walk to Uni to save money and my car from being broken in to.

Sydney students do nothing else but DRINK or sports (get outta here)
Omg same on the glandular fever liver damage! (Which i caught in my uni hostel lol)
I do empathize. I used to find no-drink groups (formal or informal) or hangout at people's homes from time to time. But I generally prefer my free time anyways, so I survived
hey king u brighten my day
Lemme tell you this, no one, NO ONE, regrets dropping chemistry.
It was quite literally life-changing for me. Organic Chemistry caused a metamorphosis for me and the process of being in it and dropping it pushed me closer to self-actualizing lol
hey bestie this is the earliest i've ever been lmao
Me feeling low-key depressed because I also started studying in 2013 but I still don't have my master's degree yet ;_;
granted I switched majors TWICE as an undergrad before I found something I liked (CS) but still TT=TT
in my 2nd yr 2nd sem of uni, absolutely hate it and it just started like 3 weeks ago
I really do be watching all the ads tho
You are so real Mike I am also having a very normal uni experience and that’s ok 🫡😎😎
Eeeek this pod is just >>>>>>>>
yall I have been waiting for this one
I'm 23 years old and I'm in year 4 of Architecure and this b is 25 with a masters degree in mechanical engineering
I learn so much here lol
the "99 ATAR in high school" to "just trying to survive uni without going insane" pipeline .. i know it well
i've sent in applications to study villainy for both britechester and foxbury institute this yr, fingerz crossed girlies 🤞
Mike showing his LACK of Aussie knowledge by mistaking Holden for Ford and Ford for Holden
We finally have it
as someone who is about to commence an engineering degree thanks for confirming my suspicions that I shall not have a social life 1) because the course load is so hard/a lot, and 2) because engineering people are introverts who keep to themselves and we are all slightly weird. yay.
Please do more of the uni videos!
I feel you on group projects I have three of them right now and they are killing me
I am once again asking mr mikes mic to PLEASE bring back the Kermit voice
5:30 you were in your community era!!!
Me watching this currently as my masters degree is killing me xox
mike ranting ab chem is actually me rn..
Ayyee we stan!!! Im tryna finish CS degree before it finishes me
