10 Things You’ll Only Understand if You’re a Student
Students get a lot of flak. Yeah, we have lots of free periods, long holidays and weekends full of parties but we need this time to reflect, grow as a person and plan our lives. Or something.
There are a few things only poor, stressed out students understand, though. And here they are…
Living off limited food choices. Pasta, tinned tomatoes, cheese slices and takeaway kebabs – and then repeat for the next three months.
Cheap travel is your best friend…
Procrastinating. This is an ART, a relevant life skill we tell you!
The sheer panic and worry that looms around exam time and coursework deadlines…
Wearing jeans all the time. (Because, let’s face it, you don’t have to wash them for weeks.)
Free food always means a big turnout…
Taking on obscure fashion choices or obsessing about the most random interests. (Like wearing bandanas or making your own compilation cassette tapes – see also procrastination above.)
That feeling when the student loan hits the bank – woohoo!
Mid-week drinking – Make it a Big One Monday, Tequila Tuesday, Wine Wednesday, Thirsty Thursday…
The feeling when the inevitable happens and your laptop (without insurance, of course) dies the night before an assignment is due in… NO I DIDN’T SAVE IT IN THE CLOUD FFS!
