Stuff You Wish You'd Been Told Before Starting Uni
 

-That the student union bar becomes more liek a home.
-That even though I don't live in halls I spend more time there than at home
-Fire alarms are not there to save your life.
-Money doesn't last forever.

anymore?

- No one wants to sleep at the same time as you do
- Bathroom sinks are NOT a good place to have sex. They WILL break easily. (Not my experience, I may add here)
- You won't always have enough money for food, but there's always enough for a drink

Erm. I'm sure there are more.

drink and drugs go hand in hand with missing weeks of lectures week after week (or maybe that was just me last year?)

AMY YES AGREED.

-Sleeping under tables in actually quiet comfortable.
-Someone, somewhere can always out drink you.

-burger king is a fine breakfast food

- Naps become a needed luxury
- The regular conventions of a 'daily' routine become pointless
- 3am really IS the best time to be doing important Uni work

Paying over two pound for a pint or infact any drink becomes unreasonable.
(Or is that just me?)

haha no thats me aswell! unless its jagermeister then i make allowences lol

* The internet is your friend ( you wont believe how many money off vouchers ive got lol)

*That no matter how much effort i put in at the beginning of a project i will panic a week before it is due in.

*Nobody cares if you sleep through lectures, being there is plenty enough, because nights out are waaaaaaay more important.

*Yes, the most important part of uni is the night-life.

5 people sleeping in a double bed? Not a problem.
Too wet, too cold, too hot, too windy, too bright etc WILL be used as excuses for not going to lectures.
You'll travel miles to a party without a problem, but 5 minutes down the road to a lecture? Hell no.
You will go home and declare your love to a washing machine that works.
A fridge with FOOD in becomes a thing of the past.
You'll wake up in bed (not always yours) with a lovely array of posters, other people's shoes etc and declare it a jolly good night.
You'll have exams and not recognise 60%+ of the people there/didn't realise that more then 15 people did your course.

Oh, and,

*You will spend all your money straight away, even if you plan on not doing, then you will live on nothing for a few months, but somehow you will survive.

- Making friends is harder than you think.
- Always have your shoes nearby in case the fire alarm goes off (again).
- Naps are the way forward.
- Facebook will become the way you keep in contact with most people.
- You will love baths as soon as you get to uni and there isn't one any more.
- Doing your washing is expensive.

- Days WILL be lost due to severe hangovers.
- Water fights and stealing your flatmate's keys/bag/mattress becomes the norm.
- If you don't stick a note to your food in the fridge, it will not be there in the morning.
- You end up only cleaning your room once every 3 months just in time for the flat inspections.
- Forgetting what day it is will become the norm.
- You diet will consist of Asda's 8p SuperNoodles and bread.
- Asda Price vodka is a godsend when your money is low.


In all seriousness, I wish I'd believed people when they said I'd have the time of my life. All those hours, MONTHS I wasted worrying! Pffft.

Haha truuuuue! When I lived back home, I'd happily pay £3.50 for a drink down at the local, but now anything over a quid is pushing the boat out. Student nights at pubs are a godsend <3

-Food parcels are your saviour
-There are many good looking people about to watch.
-Talking to strangers is easier with a pint in your hand.

I don't think my student pub serves any drink piced over £2 (or one that I will drink anyway).
Hence it becoming my second home.


-No matter how much you eat, aparently you are still malnurished when you visit the doctors.

I LOVE THEM! Seriously, 8p for a pack of noodles. That's like, ten packs, for less than a POUND.

- You'll get over excited about how cheap you can buy food...

-Acting like a child is fun again (including dress up, throwing eggs/flour/ water bombs etc)

-INDEPENDANCE. No more having to be okayed by the rents to go out and ****.
-Cheap drinks.

Clearly the most amazing thing ever created. Speaking of cheap food...

- You will soon learn that Aldi and Lidl are your new best friends.
