University Life !
Anyone who goes to uni can relate to this.....
YOU KNOW YOU'VE BEEN IN UNIVERSITY TOO LONG WHEN...
*You actually like doing laundry at home where the washing machines
work.
*Two miles is not too far to walk for a party.
*You'd rather clean than study especially if an essay is due.
*How'd it get so late!" comes out of your mouth at least once a
night.
*Parents' cooking become something you desire, not avoid.
*You schedule your classes around sleep habits and soap operas
especially neighbours and Diagnosis Murder.
*You know the pizza boy by name and don't even need to read the
menu.
*You go to sleep when it's light and get up when it's dark.
*You live for getting mail.
*Looking out the window is a form of entertainment.
*Prank phone calls become funny again.
*You start thinking and sounding like your friends and your accent
becomes a hybrid of West Country, Surrey and general Northern.
*Highlighters are the coolest things on earth.
*Rearranging your room is your favourite pastime.
*Rubbish cheap £1 shops are so cool.
*The weekend lasts from Thursday to Monday.
BEFORE I CAME TO UNIVERSITY, I WISH I HAD KNOWN...
*That it didn't matter how my first lecture was, I'd still sleep
through it.
*That I could change so much and barely realize it.
*That you can love a lot of people in a lot of different ways.
*No matter how 'cool' you were in school, no one here cares.
*That if you wear polyester everyone will ask why you are so dressed
up.
*That every clock on campus shows a different time.
*That if you got good a-levels, so what? It doesn't matter here.
*That I would go to a party the night before an exam or essay
due-date.
*That Chemistry Labs/Architecture studios take up more time than all my
other classes put together.
*That you can know everything and fail a test.
*That you can know nothing and ace a test.
*That I could get used to almost anything found out about my
friends.
*That most of my education would be obtained outside of lectures.
*That friendship is more than getting drunk together but that's
still funny......!
*That Sunday is a figment of the world's imagination.
*That Psychology is really Biology, that Biology is really
Chemistry, that Chemistry is really Physics and that Physics is really
Maths.
*That my parents would become so much smarter in the last few years.
*That it's possible to be alone even when you are surrounded by
friends.
*Don't be dismayed at good-byes, a farewell is necessary before we
can meet again, and meeting again, after moments or a lifetime, is
certain for those who are friends.
TOP 10 REASONS THAT UNIVERSITY IS LIKE PRESCHOOL (or play-school -
this is the edited version for UK people who have probably never
eaten meatloaf!)
10. You cry for your mother.
9. You cross the street without looking for cars.
8. Snack time is a necessity.
7. You bundle up for the outdoors without caring what you look like
because everyone else looks as stupid as you do).
6. You stay at home and play games with your friends.
5. You wear your backpack on both shoulders.
4. You wear big mittens.
3. Playing in the snow is a legitimate activity.
2. You take naps.
1. You look forward to cheese toasties.
