The first term of being a fresher is officially over, and we've all learnt a lot... Uni is in many ways exactly what I expected it to be, and so different from my expectations too. Here are some things I've found to be true so far..
1. You will go into your overdraft
2. You will probably lose all motivation to go to lectures, especially if your lecturers are anything like mine and upload every single lecture, including a voice recording. (What exactly is supposed to be our motivation when we can listen to it all in bed?)
3. You'll buy a gym membership and vow to live healthily but will live off turkey dinosaurs and visit that gym once despite still paying the fee every month and getting weekly "we miss you" e-mails
4. You will get too comfortable with your flatmates very very quickly. These friendships will know no bounds. These people will have seen you at the lowest of the low and will love you for it/in spite of it
5. Your sleeping pattern will flip. Nocturnal is definitely a thing. 10am bedtimes after a coca-cola/vodka fuelled netflix binge.. That's a thing.
6. You will hear the word "chunder" at least 42 times a night, and WILL teach yourself to tactical chunder if you didn't know how to already, it's a valued skill, especially on your CV
7. Pre's are usually a bigger event than the actual night out
8. McDonalds at 3am will become normal, and the staff will eventually begin to recognise you
9. Early morning/mid day drinking - acceptable
10. It's normal to do the "have you done this weeks reading?" Before every seminar. And for most to say no along with you. Always a nice satisfaction in knowing your course mates are just as shit as you.
11. It's also normal to feel smug asf when you've actually done it for once
12. Bullshitting for essays, a given
13. All nighter for essays, a given
14. Harvard referencing will become the bane of your entire existence.
