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.
- 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
- 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
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.
"Watch with glittering eyes the whole world around you because the greatest secrets are always hidden in the most unlikely places. Those who don't believe in magic will never find it."
*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.
Paying over two pound for a pint or infact any drink becomes unreasonable.
(Or is that just me?)
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

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.
