    When you stay up on TSR late at night because your house hasn't turned the central heating on at night - and you just don't want to strip and climb into your freezing cold bed..

    - you live off soup for several weeks because you can't be bothered cooking 'real' food.
    - you start to clean and tidy every inch of your room and willingly do every chore you could possibly think of... just so you don't have to study/work on assignments/etc.
    - you have a sick bucket next to your bed, just in case.

    - when you don't recognise the strange stain on your wall and you don't want to know...

    - when you call your mum for the millionth time asking how to make cheese sauce... :P
    When you call your mom asking to put £5.50 into your account cause then with the £4.50 you have you can withdraw £10...(true story)

    When you go to sleep at 5:30am and are up at 7, then sleep during the day
    You wake up with strange bruises, strange phone numbers in ur contacts and wake up in a random house
    You are used to watching a broken tv
    "Cleanliness" is simply out of sight, out of mind
    Music is on constantly
    You argue with parents about the taste of alcohols (whoops)

    No way! I hate Domino's though ... Too doughy
    However it's really expensive, even with vouchers...cooking (or at least trying to cook) your own food is much better value

    Cold pasta with dodgy cheese is ****ing delicious!

    You find yourself agonising over whether to fork out the £2 for some lunch.

    Carry on? When was your "I am definately a student" moment?

    Who the hell does that?
