Working is part of being an adult and along with it comes with lots of different challenges.
I've illustrated comics that shows how different working life is compared to university life as seen from my point of view. Gotta miss the old student life.

Working Environment Is All About Being Professional
That's not university that's elementary, uni is like "hi, where are you from?", "[insert place here], how about you?", "[insert another place here]", "oh, cool", awkwardly live the rest of your life forever alone.
Not up here near Seattle! We still make friends like we did in school *L* Guess we must seem immature but we are happy!
Making real friends even at the uni didnt go over that way, but yeah, you can meet a ton of people effortlessly if you want someone to hang out:)
90% Of Work Involves Googling It Out
She spelled google right but the computer says 'goggle'... coincidence? I THINK NOT :p
I'm afraid no man or woman EVER tried to google how to do their job. No. The regular way is call help desk, be surprised they will not do your job for you and end with writing angry email to help desk manager because "the technician was rude and just opened some random page on my Internet".
I adore Google! I worship at it's search Bar nearly every day! Google is my life partner! I use to think I knew everything but Googled humbled me and showed me a whole world of porn I didnt even know was out there!! *L*

You'll Hear Lot Of Sick Office Jokes
I don't laugh at my boss stupid jokes. Must be why I'm so poor (but I keep my dignity intact, mind!).
I don't either, but then I'm the one making stupid jokes that the boss doesn't laugh at ;p

Work: Mon-Fri. Uni: Was it 2 days ago? Oh, it's Wed. Then I washed Sat., 4 days.
Stinky tofu is a thing, though. And I do not exaggerate when I say it smells exactly like elephant s**t.

You Can Talk Instant Crap With University Friends But Not When You're Working
Work life: Wonder if person wearing same office shirt paid more or less than you did. Uni Life: See person wearing same graphic tee shirt, begin impromptu dialogue about everything ever related to shirt's movie, actor, graphic.
Then become disheartened upon discovering that same shirt can be found at the local goodwill for $3

Lets be honest. Greeting people can be weird even for extroverts. Its awkward
You Don't Get To Choose Who You Work With
In my tiny class(MS), we do a lot of group projects. But, being a nerd, I often get bad groups assigned with me because of the lack of truly hard-working kids in our class. So if there are 4 kids who can lead a group in a class of 12, one of them will go into every group. But since I am one of the four, the other three in my group are not great groupmates. -__-
Aaaand in the last studying years I chose to be in groups with nerds :))
Yeah at work be pleasant to everyone. When that one person finally snaps from the crippling reality of corporate life, you want them to look at you, smile, and move onto the a*****e.

Work Makes You Care More About Your Personal Hygiene
I'm really sorry if I'm just not getting it but isn't one bath in the morning good enough? If someone is taking that many baths how do you get anything else done?
