Its so nice the way they treat student loans in the UK. The US is totally different LOL you can be homeless, and still having to pay back those student loans. Great video love

[@BottledBlueOnYouTube]

Oh wow :-( how much does college/uni cost in the U.S.?

[@BottledBlueOnYouTube]

+Alexis King sounds so unfair? Do you not have a student loan system like we do in the UK at all?

[@Its_Me_MKC]

I wish I did undergrad there omg so unfair. I graduate this December and I'll owe the government $27,000+ and I have 3 months from the time I graduate to pay it. If I don't get a job...oh well..too bad. Lol like you said, I could be a homeless double amputee and they wouldn't care.

[@SmittenInLove]

+nairobi1234 omg $27000 in 3 months?! But that's near impossible :/ can't imagine that stress.

[@meikoblock]

+Alexis King well if you don't want to leave the continent I would suggest try Canada, they have really great colleges.

[@gifty2595]

'People come into your life for a REASON, a SEASON or a LIFETIME'. Loved this video, took me back to your earlier videos when you first started.

[@PinkAbigail]

agree :-)

[@zaink7037]

So true especially when you start catching feelings for someone thinking things might go a step further getting parents involved but things don't turn out that way 😭. People do seem to change also as they get older. To be honest just be close to family rather than friends unless you make a friend who's very open and sociable

[@meDi850]

University/College is free in Sweden, we even get money for studying. I'm so thankful for that!

[@KKG2148]

u r sooo lucky!

[@MartitaBlackCat99]

Ok, how do i get there? Well here in Spain is not free but i don't think people end up with huge debts

[@seygra20]

+nabunyam in my country first degree is free. if you attain first class honours in your first degree then your post grad education is free and you can do it anywhere in the world.

[@meDi850]

+seygra20 That's great! What country are you from?

[@newagevintage8384]

+nabunyam I think in Brunei its free as well.

[@fashiondaily7581]

I'M LAUGHING SOOO HARD at the "as a nigerian kid you either have to be a lawyer or doctor so they can tell their friends and family", THIS IS SO TRUE!!!

[@rebeccagenesis423]

So true

[@eccentricways2442]

I agree so much like this is annoying.

[@belisebibi2399]

Thank you so much pat! I am currently studying Computer enginnering in South Korea so i can totally relate.I have only one friend in my major and that's because she is a foreigner too, so we have no choice but to stick together. most of my courses are hard and in korean, which leaves me discouraged but you know us african kids, we are fighters and everyone back home is expecting us to succeed! This year i stopped feeling sorry for myself, learned the language and created a school club for foreigner students in my university where we meet and motivate each other as well as share our experiences! it showed me how important it is to have a support group, esp in uni.

[@TheJileyProduction]

+Belise Fundi Daebak! Good luck in your studying!

[@Belihoney]

+Belise Fundi fighting!

[@lifewithdency]

+Belise Fundi girl.. i was on exchange in south korea for 5 months.. i am half black so the racism wasnt that bad but i felt that the koreans were so racist towards the africans at my school in Daegu. I hope you enjoy your time!!

[@eternitysafro1083]

I am 14 and want to study aboard in Korea nice to hear

[@victoriaumukoro116]

Good bless u

[@TunefulTV]

I totally agree with Patricia. If I could add that when deciding on your university course, think about combining it with a language. I studied Spanish and Latin American Studies and had friends who were doing Psychology and Spanish for instance. Having a language as part of your degree not only looks good on your CV but it also means you get to spend your 3rd year abroad. I lived in Spain for a year which I always look back at being one of the best years of my life. So many great experiences plus I came back fluent in another language! I had friends who went to Mexico, Cuba, Venezuela and all experienced life affirming moments which was part of their University experience!

[@sweethartia]

Now THAT is awesome I want to go to France one day and speak French fluently

[@GrapeSodaFanatic]

+TunefulTV Oh god so true. One thing I really regret is not doing a combined honours! I studied Journalism, graduated last year, and I did GCSE and A Level at school but foolishly stopped there. And now I'm losing my touch with Spanish, which is a shame because it's a beautiful language and there are sooooo many Spanish-speaking countries I want to visit!

[@jamsng]

+GrapeSodaFanatic you can still do it...I found it challenging to uni work in another language lol I think doing it after is better but if you can handle it at Uni then go for it. there are Spanish programmes that allow you to go to another country on the programme.

[@simplyshama]

I think its important to make an effort to socialise at university. Seems like that plays a big factor in how much you enjoy it. I know people who only made friends within their flat, which can be isolating! One of the easiest ways to make friends is to join societies. Everyone at uni's in the same boat, so just talk to people/ask questions

[@wendyaddo9544]

+simply.s I agree, that's kind of what I did in my first year and ended up suffering the consequences in second year (especially as an ex was involved!) Fortunately I started to branch out eventually and joined and even helped start a society, but advice I'd definitely tell my younger self would be to make an effort to make friends in all corners of university, and don't have the mentality that the first friends you've made in Freshers Week will be your only friends! x

[@Chanelboateng]

Great video and Excellent advice! I never joined the ACS, wish i did though!

[@lucindajoram]

🌸🌸

[@ForRxse]

It has been 4 years since I first watched this video and I am now, 4 years later, applying to uni. Thank you Patricia for inspiring me to keep moving forward.

[@ish77777]

i always come back to watch your videos to remind myself to do better like you. This is helping so much. I had been struggling so much because i'm a closed off person in Uni.

[@CarefreeMaya]

I..... Am conflicted. I make a lot of excuses for myself as to why I can't do stuff. It's so very anxiety provoking to thing about my life and future

[@famciaA]

+Carefree Maya i can relate to that

[@amandagil28]

Same!!!

[@MegaEllie78]

babes, just go for it. Don't let ANYTHING hold you back, you'll may regret it. So just have faith and determination and go forward.

[@TheRealElise]

The whole thing is pretty stressful, I'm in my 3rd year and hav considered dropping out multiple times this am especially after I just up an walked out of my calc class

[@nataliestephens295]

+Carefree Maya I do the same thing and the fact that I think this way really pisses me off. I make excuses mainly because I am afraid of failure. So I don't do new things or jump on new opportunities as much as I know I should. But recently I was so fed up with thinking like this that I just woke up one day and told myself to suck it the fuck up and do it! I have to get mad at myself to push myself to do the things I've made excuses not to do sometimes. It works, but I have to find a different way because I can't be angry at myself all the time lol Anyway just wanted to share.

[@Hardkorka97]

You're probably the most comprehensive and knowledgeable vlogger on KZbin :)

[@luvzouk4life7]

I couldn't stop staring at Patricia's eyebrows .

[@r.rockellg]

I wasn't aware of me doing that until I saw this comment 😅

[@Kaymn]

right

[@ogaso36]

+Abrar Musaad I know they gorgeous

[@amandamaryanna]

HET IMITATION IF HER PARENT'S VOICE GETS ME EVERYTIME

[@RebeccaCoco]

I agree with everything you said, I went to University and done well too and the skills I learnt make me look at everything differently. I analyse and critically think about everything, my actual way of thinking about everything has changed so much and I think University is worth it even just for the skills that you learn!

[@BF-bb5us]

You can learn those skills outside of uni too. Actually the system rarely teaches you to think critically it's there to teach you a particular model.

[@onoigboriacourage340]

Years later... I still find this helpful. Thank u Patricia 😄

[@LauraWud]

I had such a similar experience at uni! I met my husband in second year. I don't work exactly in my chosen degree field but quite similar. It's weird how things fall into place.

[@shazz286]

what i love most about patricia is that her content is so diverse. some youtubers only give one type of topic on all their videos but she has everything for everyone

[@BigHenFor]

What Patricia said about other professions being 'boring' and 'generic' was her reaction to her family's pressure to follow a stereotypical career path. It's tough because it can stifle your dreams, and your life purpose. She is proof of that. So, please don't take her comments personally. Especially as you are not what you do, or what you earn.

[@Fabuleuxdestindjulie]

Patricia, I just wanted to say how much your stories of experience really inspire me. I'm in college and system here in Brazil is slightly different from there, but yet I really appreciate all the advice you share. You are such an inspiration to me, and for that, thank you. 💜

[@lizzieloves.x]

Grabbing my cup of tea for this video !! Xx

[@simim.8777]

You are seriously my favourite youtuber! You cover a wide range of topics and not do only fashion related things and showing off what you have. You're truly amazing. You make me proud to be nigerian and you're truly an inspiration to women x

[@MartitaBlackCat99]

OMG!! Patricia, I think that you might be about to save my life,.. I've been struggling lately with the thought of leaving university cause I've really made too many mistakes but in just a few minutes you've made me open my mind... I've realized that all this time I've been feeling worthless because I was trying to keep the wrong people in my life and I've never been brave enoug to ask for help , I've felt left and too weak and I've let that affect my career.. Thanks for existing!!

[@clarepies]

I find it so surprising that you didn't meet many friends, I think I am quite like you used to be and that's so encouraging to think if I work hard and persevere I could be like you some day. You are always such an inspiration to me Patricia! Thankyou!

[@BreenyLee]

This was a great video! Gosh you're just amazing, was lovely getting to chat it up with you at Illamasqua, must do it again some time, iron sharpens iron ;) xx

[@lieneplivda9899]

I just LOVE the fact that you care for people to be sharing your life wisdom! Thank you, you're such a beautiful woman inside out xx

[@UusiaEvents]

Definitely my favorite... 😘 I always come back to this video when I feel lonely and confused at school.

[@trytrulytrinkets]

I needed this vid my first year of uni ten years ago, the advice to do more extra curricular activities than just school and don't let your relationships at uni impact your school work.

[@MaggyKloset]

OMG it sounds like you are sharing my story! I recently graduated in accounting from university but at the end of the day, I chose accounting because i was very good in numbers and to please my african parents. It is very boring to me, I didn't know what i wanted to do except that i love fashion. I even been a model but i dropped. It wasn't for me. Now i've been watching youtube for years and now I decided to start my own youtube channel. And I must say that I absolutely LOVE it! Being in front of the camera is something I enjoy doing and you inspire me so much. I don't know how things are going to be in the future, whether or not one day I will achieve your success but at least i'm trying. **That was the longest comment I wrote on YT hahah I could write a book** Sorry for my fumbling english, I'm a french speaker. Much love!

[@abetweene]

This was a great video Patricia, and very important for youth to hear. For thr US viewers unfortunately, cost is a very big deal and we WILL have to pay back every cent and more!

[@Crystal.Adamma]

Hello!! That broke life is not for me !! You just get a feeling in a spirit that BEING BROKE IS NOT YOUR PORTION! But girl I loved how you gave more of a meaning to university! You phrased it as an opportunity where you can just sit and focus on that subject! It kind of made me appreciate school more!

[@jthompson8503]

I think this video was brilliant!!!! So many gems and excellent points about the experience and the things you learn at university that people don't explain. I love when you said "iron sharpens iron" because that is so true! Those are similar mistakes I made when I was in college and I didn't go back. But now that I'm older and after 10 years of leaving school, I going back to complete my education. Thank you Patricia for this message. I'm definitely sharing this.

[@elky360]

These are the kind of videos I'm here for

[@samanthabrown359]

Great advice Patricia! I will be passing it on to my daughter who will be graduating from high school next year. As an educator, I tell my students the realities of life after high school and that they should be life long learners. Learning does not have to occur in a school/college/university. Life offers us some of the greatest lessons we will ever encounter.

[@sophdoeslife]

I love your story videos!

[@BAMnailpolish]

i recently took a year off from school, and now that i'm going back i've had some doubts..but, after watching this i'm feeling secure-ish/ excited? there's just so much importance on what are you gonna DO with the degree you get..stress city i tell yah!

[@a.emmadiallo5889]

Her body language makes everything

[@CHIKAAKAS]

This was so helpful ! it's very worrying moving away etc but I guess everyone goes through it ! Deffo agree with the importance of experience better to start whilst in university getting as much under your belt as you can

[@JasmineMichelle]

this was so insightful and helpful!!! i'm currently in my second year of community college (US) and after this year i'm heading off to a university and i can definitely take all of your advice with me!! :)

[@XeniaAllen]

Hello Patricia. Thank you very much for sharing some of your history with us. I think that it is important to learn how to NOT feel lonely with only yourself. Looking outside of yourself towards others to fill that void is not a healthy thing. Living alone can be one of the most enriching experiences, and I hope that you come to learn that.

[@olivioli_]

This was such a useful video Patricia! I start uni in two weeks and I'm so nervous haha Also It's so nice to see a KZbinr promoting the importance of university education even if it isn't necessarily essential for the job you end up in eventually :)

[@MikaelaAryanna]

Love you so much Patricia! You're my absolute favorite KZbinr because you just keep it real. You remind us viewers that you guys don't always live the glamorous life that we tend to think you guys have. Thank you for showing us the low and high times in your life! Cheers!

[@chloejane359]

Patricia I love your video and its weird that when you talk I feel like your talking to me . I didn't know what to major in school , my parents are african and they want me to be a nurse, doctor, lawyer. etc.my mother wants me to do what makes me happy but I honestly don't know what that is . I took a break from college and now three years later I am lonely , I have no friends , and I work alot to atleast have someone to talk to . I am planning on going back I'm 21 , and I want t thank you for making this video .I am trying to turn my life around , i seriously feel depressed and dont know what to with myself . your truly a blessing . safe journey back home -xoJane

[@jeanettegbendah1780]

Always keep your head up and never give up on your dreams!

[@TheJileyProduction]

+Victoria Lynn I relate to you so much because right now I've just started 6th form and my parents (and even my uncle who I haven't spoken to for years) want me to do biology+chemistry and become a doctor. The problem is I don't know what I want to do and I don't really have one subject I really enjoyed (they all had their good and bad bits) and I'm pretty much top of every subject so that makes it even harder to choose :/

[@chloejane359]

Thanks y'all . your are all amazing and I do an on going for it . I don't want to look back one day and regret not doing it . TheJileyProduction​ EXACTLY and it doesn't help when people are in your head confusng you . I'm glad it went well for you , I hope I'll have the same .

[@grace4551]

This video is so inspiring Pat,I am a 30 year old female and after spending 8 years in a career that although I was good at I absolutely hated it. I am now in the process of a career change and the line i am interested in means I would have to go to uni.I battled within myself for years to make this decision but ultimately discovered that it is the right thing to do ,its the future that matters not the now. i did not want to look back with regret in a few years down the line wishing I had made the move but like they say "better late than never." Even though I've had to take a huge pay cut just to get my feet into this new line of work I already feel happier than I've ever was in my last job,I'm starting school this September and I am so excited!the thought of hiw bright the future is spurs me on,the job satisfaction and fulfilment drives me and encourages me to go forward. I know it is not going to be an easy journey but I know I am prepared for it.

[@iidifferentworlds]

I love your chatty videos. You always speak with such wisdom. God bless

[@berinana2966]

This is one of the greatest videos of the 'back to school' season. As a second year college student I really identify with lots of the facts you spoke about and absolutely gonna take these pieces of advices for the upcoming years. Thank you so much Paty 💓👏

[@sundusahmed3778]

Dollar signs!! Ding ding ding! I just can't Patricia 😂😂

[@billbb]

the knowledge you learn in college can be learned anywhere or on youre own but the people you meet and opportunities and the positions of power to be gained are once in a lifetime

[@SparkzMxzXZ]

wow yellow looks AMAZING on you. :D

[@karitalipdo6824]

tears in my ears, I feel like I'm reliving your college story in so many ways? It gives me so much hope that you're thriving after your horrible experience at college. Is there a way I can send you questions?

[@SolJo541]

It's really good to hear someone talk about finances and how that can affect the decisions you make or the course you take at uni. A lot of people talk about doing a subject you love but that doesn't necessarily mean that you going to be financially secure in the future.

[@LittleMissTK143]

I love how your eyebrows are not extremely symmetrical but they still look flawless!! Killing it every time!!🙌🏾🙌🏾💖💖

[@TheHannahx]

I abdolutely love these chatty videos of yours, keep em coming! You're an inspiration for many girls around the world ♥ xx

[@mubinaamodi1013]

I don't watch anyone's chatty videos apart from yours - you are so fun to watch and I love your sense of humour. I just got back from Istanbul 2 weeks ago.. most beautiful city ever! ❤

[@TheChantelleBell]

Hi Pat, you didn't end up talking about the accounting job! could you so a video on graduating?

[@sourcanabs1657]

honestly this video was so useful and made me think more deeply about whether or not i want to continue on with my business degree! absolutely loved it, thank you!

[@unekwuojoagada1871]

haha truuee XD

[@beckylou6714]

+Belle Fleur why are you replying to yourself? 😂

[@sarangpanada]

i was trying to reply to Reaxiz

[@ErikaBalban]

one thing I really like about this video is the fact that one of your main focuses was on money. A lot of people nowadays say do to something you love no matter the cost, but it's true about living off 15 grand a year x

[@jaspreetdhaliwal4953]

Ladies in the uk to become a management or chartered accountant you don't even need to go to uni. You need to pass a series of exams and have 3 years experience in accounts. You can do this by getting a great school leavers program but you still need good A level marks. The exams are definitely challenging cima and acca but you don't need a degree to be chartered

[@arianams6710]

I Loooooove your advice Patricia. You really help me out and give me hope. Because I'm young and when I go through things I feel that its over but you reassure me every time I watch a video that life gets BETTER! thanks for the videos I cant wait to see whats next, love ya!

[@leighyannamalik1775]

i needed this! i started sixth form today and really wanted to be a paediatrician! my dad mostly had his sights on me studying medicine anyways and being pakistani it meant he could tell all his friends that i was studying medicine! i found out however that my grade B in chemistry was not quite high enough for me to able to take A level medicine. Im so stuck now I'm currently doing philosophy, english lit and lang and law. However, I'm not all too keen on law and theres nothing else i can take! I'm hoping so badly that im able to take biology but it clashes with the maths resit ugh :( but everything happens for a reason!

[@fedup4190]

+leighyanna malik There is always foundation year medicine, look it up, especially with the subjects you're taking you can definitely do it, just make yo have your UKCAT and your personal statement done by Oct 15th and that your teachers aren't slacking and you'll be fine.

[@AM-ki2ec]

My bro was telling me that there's a foundation year in Nottingham where if u got A/A* GCSE and min B for a level you can get in for foundation year medicine but I'm not 100% sure. Double check it

[@Babyterror777]

I know school makes a big deal out of GCSE maths but on a reals, a few of my friends got into uni without it. Royal Holloway... Of course it all depends on your course so I don't know but 40% of my management buddies got in without maths. Don't stress too much just try your hardest and ask repeatedly if you can change your course and if there's any more options suitable for the career path you'd like to take.

[@funkyduckfish]

+leighyanna malik I'm about to start medical school at Keele and I know they have a foundation medicine course for people who didn't do 2 science subjects at A-level, as long as you do biology (or chem, but with a b at gcse I don't recommend it at A-level at is was very hard) you can apply with any other subjects :)

[@missnickix]

You & i's university video was very similar the message runs clear- enjoy it, uni life goes so quick ❤️

[@Paigeiscool99]

PLEASEEEEEE do another video about sixth form I'd love to see it!!!!

[@brialabelle]

I'm so happy I seen this video. I really needed this.. when you said "seek help when you need it" that spoke exactly to me & the topic of working on yourself to bridge out of your degree. It really opened my eyes & I'm so happy I watched this b4 my classes begin. Thanks

[@gm8418]

As a Black guy, i can say that University/college is worth it as long as you pick meaningful degrees. I have 2 BSc degrees and now doing my Masters degree. These degrees have allowed me to have a good career in healthcare and earn six figures. So it is worth it, but you have to be selective.

[@gm8418]

The Apache Dartship University took about 7 years to finish, started working and earning some money, and now went back to do my Masters in Education part-time while I work. This will take about 3 years to finish. The goal is to become a professor in my field which will allow me to earn even more.

[@livelovelaugh9820]

G M what is your career and what did you do a masters on?

[@zaink7037]

I take it your in America. Wish healthcare job salaries were the same in UK as America 😭. I'm coming not far to the end of my masters course in the UK. I've never searched for a job and never got paid before so I feel that adds to that worry. I'm currently doing 2 work placements whilst doing my course though that's at a halt due to CoronaVirus. I just want to get into a good job with a clear career ladder so I can work my way up and hopefully be earning a high salary at the end.

[@Coco-bg2jn]

So wise! Your maturity is beyond your years, Patricia. Xoxo

[@Nikitajade08]

if you don't make that money, you don't have to pay it back, the U.S needs to get that policy quick

That was exactly what I needed now!!! THANK YOU!! Studying Accounting and Finance myself!!! ♥♥♥

[@FelipeCharmingTV]

Congrats on 600K Beautiful✨

[@biancapeter3810]

I 100% agree about a support group. I found the first two years of uni difficult when you have no one to sit with in lectures and no one to study with. I pray that like you I will find my group in third year and hopefully find my Mike! :)

[@hannahwoodman3910]

You would be such a good motivational speaker! Loved this video :)

[@EruvwuObuaya]

I felt your heart in your account and just wanted to hug you Patricia! You're correct about skill set outside of your course being important, I read law, but not at all working in that field. Also, it's so true about friendships and seasons. I must say, the UK makes cost less of an issue than it is elsewhere for those wanting to attend university. University for me was an experience, I was full time law, newlywed and first time mum. Thank you for sharing😃👍

You should so travel & speak to girls! you are so wise & sweet!

I just clicked on this post on a whim but I'm so glad I did! You don't know how much this has helped me! Thank you! Xx

[@carararabudgets]

I'd just like to say to anyone who's nervous about starting university/worried about being homesick etc. The truth is everyone is homesick, and at first that is going to suck but stick it out for a few weeks and you won't regret it! Uni can genuinely be the best time of your life. Two years ago I was crying at the thought of going - now I'm literally counting the days til I go back! Embrace the freedom, embrace the opportunities thrown at you and don't be afraid to admit when you miss home or are finding things hard because I guarantee everyone else is too (even if they pretend otherwise) :) And of course, good luck! Xx

[@PatriciaBright]

+Cara Preece this is so true, there are bad times but also amazing times!

[@klkandy]

Haha I love my mom and all but I wasn't homesick I was ready to go lol

[@carararabudgets]

I'm 21 and I started school late and I started with community college and I am transferring to Georgia state university and I'm going to major in marketing/PR . Do you think there's a time limit on these types of career I'll be 23 when I graduate do u think that's too old for this career path

[@Coco-bg2jn]

Good for you CheerleaderMelanie! Never too late to start. Better now than 5 years from now. Stay focused and try and get a internship whilst in GSU. Wishing well.

Hey! I go to GSU and I don't think that's old at all seems like a perfect age because people will take you a little more seriously but also will value your opinion as a young adult. Hope everything goes well and maybe I'll bump into you lol

[@cheerleaderMelanie]

+kim l thank you and i hope yes hopefully we will bump into each other

[@cheerleaderMelanie]

Im at university, and what im seeing is exactly right, people come and go. There's stress involving in it as well. And also surround yourself with people who also aim for success. :)

I'm at a point in my life where I don't know what direction to choose, I live in a shitty city, with no opportunities. I'm trying to relocate to a city like Atlanta but I have no support from family or friends, basically I'm just existing,

This was such a great video, as a future university student (starting next September) I think this really helped to put things into perspective for me. Especially with regards to having to do extra things as well as just completing your degree to get employed after you've graduated. You've definitely made me feel more motivated when I begin my own university course. Thank you! xxx

Oh my god hahahahaha I died when you talked about your parents dropping the fashion part of fashion and marketing, and loved you being an accountant :'( african parents

[@RegianneRosaCoaching]

OMG, Patricia! I loved it! Especially cause I'm in the process of applying for it, and I'm really excited. I'm actually going back to school after quitting 8 years ago. Now I passed 30, but i feel more ready than ever. Thanks for the great tips. Love your videos.. I"m your brazilian fan.

[@MissLittlechachou]

Patrica, your videos are just the best. I can relate so much!! There are some really good pieces of advice! If you ever get the opportunity to write a book (lifstyle, fashion, carreer)... Just so you know: I will buy it !!!! Hope you are well :) Natacha

And THANK YOU for underlining the importance of education, work, school. I feel like, for a time, youtubers shared an idea of an 'easy life' only about results and success.Education appeared almost 'unecessary'. Last year, I did my final research on Higher education and how it could become an asset for a country. It was really interesting to search all the information. HE is not mandatory, yet it's an opportunity that can improve someone's skills and future.

Felt so motivated after this, especially after being on the wrong course for a year and restarting! But hopefully this year just works out a lot better !
