You know you've been at university too long when

terroristteddy · 28-Nov-2005, 17:11

I got emailed this today, could well be old news but I don't even give half of a metric flying fuck, some of them made me laugh

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.

*"Oh shit how did it get so late!" comes out of your mouth at
least once a night.

*Parents' cooking becomes something you desire, not avoid.

*You schedule your classes around sleep habits and soap operas
especially neighbours and Murder She Wrote.

*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 what 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 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.

heh

"That every clock on campus shows a different time."

Damn right.

Napoleon · 28-Nov-2005, 17:37

The backpack on both shoulders thing is so true, in high school no-one wears theirs on two shoulders for some daft fucking reason.

I did.

Heartwork · 28-Nov-2005, 17:38

half of them are horrifically true. i've been craving a cheese toastie since last weekend.

Wilco · 28-Nov-2005, 17:44

soooooooooo true

Harry Palmer · 28-Nov-2005, 17:46

Good that...

Probably because when we were at school it was 'cool' to wear it on one shoulder and walk aroudn like Quasimodo... now (in my view) it's cooler and obviously more sensible to wear it on both shoulders.

[!$$ueS] · 28-Nov-2005, 18:10

I always wore it on both shoulders, didn't care what peopel thought and i didn't want to look like Quasimodo as blurr said.

Harry Palmer · 28-Nov-2005, 18:11

When I was at school (yeah yeah...cue the wigs and quill pens jokes..) eveyone had addidas shoulder bags...I had a leather satchel..then HHGTTG came out when I started college and eveyone wanted one like mine

Napoleon · 28-Nov-2005, 18:18

Yeah I've always worn mine with the two straps too.

blurr · 28-Nov-2005, 18:20

What I do like is, when people wear the 2 strap backpacks as a 1 strap shoulder bag, making it go ACROSS the body... oh how I chuckle. Sometimes I just want to go up to them and shout UNCOOL*

*not really.

Rizzy · 28-Nov-2005, 18:22

I never went to uni

[!$$ueS] · 28-Nov-2005, 18:36

That's how it was at my secondary school blurr. I used to do that for a bit and thought sod it. I'm sure some of them retards from my school probably still wear them like that.

Dunno why Rizzy, in that avatar you look like a typical student asleep after a whole night spent doing an essay.

cuthbert · 28-Nov-2005, 19:22

I don't go to Uni, haha.

Envy · 28-Nov-2005, 19:25

Couldn't wear your bag like that at my school because they'd pull your bag when you’re climbing stairs so you'd fall over, Bunch of cunts.

Solex · 28-Nov-2005, 19:26

Scarily true a lot of those. But it's not ‘Murder She Wrote’ - its ‘Diagnosis Murder’ starring Dick van dyke!

Goody · 28-Nov-2005, 20:04

Its back to murder she wrote now i think , it was on today at least

Goody · 28-Nov-2005, 20:05

Oh and you know youve been doing a university arts course too long when you consider having to go into uni once a month a pain in the arse

Matt · 28-Nov-2005, 21:10

When i was a lad it was "record bags" that were what everyone wore/used.

Incidentally most of those things are total bull for me at least, but then I worked full time for two years before going to uni so I wasn't an immature twat with no understanding of reality before I went to uni or something </troll>

NWA · 28-Nov-2005, 22:53

Bet you're a fun guy at parties.

Laz · 28-Nov-2005, 23:55

When you're name is lungboy!!!
