Essays, deadlines, exams, presentations, pizza, beer pong, girls, boys, sex and alcohol poisoning…being a student is hard, huh? All you have to do is add rent, bills, grocery shopping, part-time work, insomnia and inexplicable sobbing to the agenda, and you soon find out that being an adult is much HARDER than student life.

So without further ado, here are 18 times Students totally failed at being Adults…

1. All those times you made every single item of clothing you owned dirty without considering doing any washing, then dragged a gargantuan load of laundry half way across the country and batted your eyelashes at Mum…

Even London’s finest Hipsters can’t deny the call of the parental tumble dryer…

2. The time you tried to look respectable for your Careers Presentation but failed…epically

…and the days when you completely regressed back to childhood

3. The time you realised your priorities were in desperate need of an overhaul…

4. All those times you tried hard to ignore your adult responsibilities…

Aah, the classic ‘bury your head in the sand’ technique, known and loved by students across the globe.

But you can’t run away forever…

5. When even the simplest classroom task somehow manages to get the best of you…

6. When you made increasingly questionable nutritional decisions…

…because maybe you just had no other option but to eat the one lowly cheese stick

…or maybe you made a simple- yet fatal- mistake

…or maybe you just couldn’t handle the freedom of being an adult.

7. All those times you wondered who the hell left you in charge??

8. And that time you should have known your limits…

9. All those times you risked lives just by setting foot in the kitchen…

…and setting off the fire alarm so many times that your housemates now suffer from migraines.

10. All those days you couldn’t muster the energy to get dressed…

11. When you forgot important parts of the human anatomy…

12. The times you failed at your New Year resolutions…

13. When your complete inability to make sound decisions forced you to take trivial matters to the people of social media…

14. That terrible day when reality dawned…

15. When you totally failed at the Season of Giving…

16. The day that your maturity didn’t quite make the grade…

17. All those times adult life was put on hold because of a tiny little insect…

18. And all those times you forgot the meaning of the phrase: “safety first”…

But at least you try and make an effort when something’s playing on your mind…

Oh students, you never fail to amaze!
