23 things that only happen at University

The University experience is a voyage of discovery in which you learn great things about yourself and the crazy world around you. It is the best possible preparation for the utter madness of real-life, chock full of traffic-cone-wielding daredevils and questionable culinary decisions…and just in case your alcohol-induced amnesia caused you to forget the best parts of your student experience, here are 23 things that only happen while you’re at University:

1. Top nights out ending in tragically awkward mornings…

2. Your choice of furniture being categorised as ‘Extremely Hazardous’…

3. Student loan day…

… Vs. the rest of the semester…

4. Cutting corners with your healthcare…

5. Having a kitchen that’s fully stocked with the essentials…

6. Being able to leave the house without even considering changing out of your pyjamas…

7. The frustration of living in a shared student house…

…making you feel like this

8. Waking up the morning after to find the cat really did drag something in…

9. Unmissable student ‘deals’ at the University book store…

10. Eating a balanced diet and taking pride in your health…

11. Being surrounded by friends who are genuinely concerned for your welfare…

12. Enhancing every stationary object with its own bespoke hat…

13. Spending so long in the state of Hungover that you’ve forgotten how to function in the state of Sober…

14. Having such a small amount of money that your resourcefulness remains on top form…

15. More than 50% of your wardrobe not being deemed fit for civilised society…

16. Letting the kitchen get in such a terrible state that it begins to spawn it’s very own species…

17. Staying inside to work on a project for so many consectutive hours that daylight literally burns…

18. Receiving your monthly care package and owing your soul to the sender for saving you from the brink of starvation…

…until next month at least…

19. Playing tense games of bin jenga with your housemates so you all save money on bin bags…

20. Taping stuff to the ceiling – just because you can…

21. Finding a passive aggressive note somewhere in the house every other day…

22. Being this stingy with the heating…

23. And bodging all your fix-jobs because your Landlord would freak at the state of the house…
