    Freshers Week - how crazy was it?
    i know there are lots of threads on this but i'm just curious of a few things..

    - what time did you get back to your halls/flats..? 3,4,5,6 in the mornings? if so, how did you recover the following night to party again!? just stay in for that night?
    - did you tear or rip your shirts/clothes etc (depending how crazy you were during freshers ofc)? just that i don't want to tear/rip/ruin my expensive jeans/shirts in the first week of uni that is, hence why i may not go as crazy/pissed at freshers.. :/

    Freshers are overhyped. Of course no rips their jeans. Also you are assuming that freshers are crazy they might be so but not necessarily don't get your expectations too high.

    I've seen countless threads about this, the truth is that you can't predict what your freshers experience is like. Every university is different every year. Plus, it's how you want it to be, feel free to make it as crazy as you want.

    I can't say I've experienced it but I doubt people go so crazy they start tearing their jeans off lmaaooo.
    Unless of course they're super hardcore. :headbang:



    EDIT: I know that's not necessarily what you were suggesting lol but I just got the image of people ripping off their jeans in excitement and oh, how it made me laugh. :rofl:

    The image of people ripping off their clothes in freshers madness made me actually laugh, I don't think it will be quite like that.

    No clothes ripped, but I only wear cheap crap anyway lol. I did manage to drink for 10 days/nights straight out of our 2 weeks of freshers, but I got so drunk the 10th night I broke my ankle and to the day can't remember how I did it

    I burst out laughing at the idea of people getting so excited during freshers week that they tear their clothes off in a primal and crazed manner

    Generally got back anywhere between 3-5, depending if the Uni had 'Late Lounge' open. You kind of just keep going through it in Freshers', running mainly on adrenaline because it's all new etc. After about 10 days though it suddenly hit me and I slept for 14 hours! I always drink plenty of water after nights out so didn't suffer with hangovers, some people swore by a tactical when they got back but not too sure this is advisable!

    Errrm no, saw that happen occasionally with bar crawl t-shirts but not with peoples' actual clothes!
