    Until I became a student I never realised the importance of carrying change around tbh.

    Used a debit card multiple times for amounts less than a £1

    When you eat fruit/snakes/sweets in the shower.
    When you eat food out of their packs instead of plating them (when it's possible to do so)
    When you're always short on money!

    Sometimes I sit there in some 9am lectures wondering why I even bothered getting out of bed.

    You look back at how stressed you got about GCSEs and laugh, comparing their ease to degree level.

    When you find the degree work that traces back to A level to be harder than the new work related to your degree, or maybe that's just me.
