Five Unexpected Things At University

Back at university for my second term of second year so I thought I'd finally post about some of the unexpected things I've learnt/discovered while being at university.

1. You'll put on weight - I feel that there is a misconception that students starve but from what I've seen is that students eat the worst stuff and a lot of it. I spent an entire term living off 'Turkey Dinosaurs' and Deliveroo. Want proof that we all eat like crap go to a McDonalds near a club at 3am it'll be full of students with piles of burgers and chips.

2. The cost of a drink will become a measurement of currency. You're food shop will be £20 and you'll work it out as costing 5 bottles of rosé and be low key upset that it could of gone on that rather than turkey dinos.

3. You'll probably contemplate quitting about 5 times a week when it starts to get tough. As it's not somewhere you technically have to be and have the option to leave joking about leaving becomes a daily occurrence especially when you have an essay due in 12 hours and the file has deleted itself.

4. You'll discover a new level of laziness. Run out of socks? No problem, go buy a new pack of them rather than washing the ones you already own.

5. You'll be drunk in situations that you've never experienced before. Seminar the morning after - drunk. Doctors appointments - drunk. Drinking again the next day - still drunk.
