You know you're a student when...

Scroll to see replies

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.. :frown:

When you go to bed at 9pm because you have an enormous duvet and a fleecy blanket to snuggle under, and it's too cold to do anything else...

When a healthy day is one in which you eat an apple AND some baked beans.

When chocolate digestives become an acceptable meal.

When you have drafts of assignments all over your bedroom floor because you can't be bothered to empty the bin.

When the best way of reviving leftovers is to add cheese, whether the original meal contained cheese or not.

When you feel like a freak because you wake up naturally before 9am.

You put other peoples' mouldy pans in the garden because you don't want to wash them and there's no space in the kitchen- and then the weeds grow over them so you can't find them again. Then you move out.

When you know the bouncers and bar staff to the SU by name, and they know yours, and they stop to have a chat to you.

When you count out all your 1ps, 2ps and 5ps so you can get those last few drinks.

When you sit there with about 10 hoodies and a blanket because the heating hasn't been turned on yet.

You wake up at 7.30 AM for your lecture, and don't even think twice about going back to sleep. Oops. Another missed lecture.

When the crack in the side wall of your house renders the heating so useless that it's warmer outside of the house than in it. You put on tomorrow's uni clothes before going to bed and sleep under two duvets.

2 duvets, a blanket, 2 wooly jumpers and a hot water bottle. Don't know what to add when it gets even colder

You've never had a similar experience to any of these? Still live with the 'rents?

Seriously man, apparently lots of people have similiar experiences :biggrin:

Don't make assumptions I don't live my parents I'm in halls. Students always complain they are skint yet they are throwing dishes in the bin? I don't understand where this laziness comes from, most students I know don't cook so they don't make many dirty dishes the way I do.

You work in order to avoid cleaning your room (or the reverse, depending on your personality/mood).

Every. Single. Day.

And if you're my housemates: buy morrisons value everything and use the saved money to buy xboxes, lots of expo merchandise and very expensive bass speakers.

You know your a student...

When any spending aside from alcohol is vigorously debated...

When going into lecture having only stopped drinking 3 hours before - I know 3 people who've done this!

When you suffer from sleep deprivation and only want to sleep during the day time...
