In the past (almost) 3 months of being at university I have come to realise that there are a few things you cannot escape during your time as a student. There are some seemingly preposterous situations that you will without a doubt find yourself in no matter how hard you try, some good and some that you would rather never be mentioned ever again. Following on from my last post where I mentioned that I feel some people are not fully prepared for the downsides of university life, I decided to compile a little list of these situations that you will, without a shadow of a doubt, find yourself in within your first few weeks at university.
Things that will happen when you go to University:
1. 1am will become an early night and 11am will become an early morning
2. 9am lectures will become a no-go
3. You will require afternoon naps
4. At some point you will wake up covered in your own sick after a particularly brutal night out (especially if drunk you thinks that tequila is a good idea)
5. You will experience the taste of sour milk after you forget how long is has been open for when trying to make yourself some cereal at 3am
6. Best before dates no longer exist
7. Vegetables are a distant memory
8. You will stay up till 5am watching Netflix. At least twice per week.
9. You will miss home no matter how excited you were to move out
10. You will seriously question how much you even need a degree when its 8.50am, you've had 2 hours sleep, you have a lecture in 10 minutes and your bed has never been more comfortable
11. You will realise that uni is not as glamorous as you thought it would be: it is tears and it is stress and it is real
12. Your flatmates will make you question whether a 15 year jail sentence it worth it for a decent nights sleep
13. You will begin to hate the sight of pizza after cooking for yourself for 3 weeks
14. And you will realise why all normal people have a dishwasher
15. You will run out of underwear but just rock the commando look for a few days because who even needs underwear anyway
16. You will make the 'executive decision' to skip a lecture since all the information goes up online but still feel guilty as hell
If you have anymore typical student experiences then feel free to leave them in the comments as I would love to see other peoples take on this. Until next time.
