    You throw out a plate because you can't be bothered to wash it.

    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?

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

    For me it's reuse said plate until either the mixture of residues from various meals gets too weird or various microorganisms start to make colonies...

    When 'I'm pregnant' gets the response of 'oh ****!' rather than 'congratulations!'

    You spend all your time on TSR instead of reading notes.

    - You go for showers because you're bored.

    - You've foolishly went to lectures hungover and realised there's no point because you take nothing in

    - You wake up in your room/living room with an assortment of strange objects (viking hats , traffic cones , ties ect)

    - You've experienced the mad dash to get to the shotp for booze at about 9:55 pm.

    When finding orange juice for 65p feels like the discovery of the century.

    When the second question you ask other students (after their name) is "what are you studying?"
