    When you take pictures of textbook pages instead of buying the books.

    You don't have a sleep pattern.
    Sometimes i wake at 8am, sometimes at 1pm.
    Then by the time 5 olcock hits im tired.
    Then by the time its 9 oclock im full of energy again til 4am.


    This all happened from napping during the day.

    When your lifestyle would be considered as an alcoholics one if you drank as much as you did in term time than outside of uni.

    You accumulate millions of prospectuses in order to choose a Uni, look at them once, and then use them as spider killing devices for the rest of the year.

    When you get small discounts at places that take cash/change only by playing the 'that's all the money I've got' card.

    And also when one of the most appealing things about going back home is being able feast like a sumo wrestler when you arrive.

    You complain when your lecturers just read off their powerpoints.

    But you also complain when they don't have them,so you actually have to pay attention
