When you get ripped off for 4 years and for the most part, get given a useless piece of paper with the signature of someone on it that earns well over 100 grand a year for doing absolutely nothing.


Bus money. £100k is a 'low' salary for people in those roles apparently :colonhash:

Some can earn as much as £350k while your already half-starving lecturer gets laid off and his department closes down. Funny old world we live in :flute:. I do wonder if lecturers are often stick thin and cheaply dressed because they're dirt poor, not because of academic eccentricity.

When you feel a great sense of achievement at writing three sentences for that essay due in tomorrow, so to reward yourself you take a 2-hour internet break.

Funny indeed, most of the rearrangements in the world are to keep the people at the top rich, god forbid they get a salary cut.

I think they call it bureaucracy or something.
When a quiet night out turns into rounds of tequila slammers with a bunch of randomers.

when you CONSTANTLY find ways to waste time.

Students are the worlds best procrastinators.
