There are many fun things at university, but here are some of the annoying things we perhaps take for granted.
Forgive me, this might sound somewhat whiney!
1) My toast always has tan lines, so I flip them other and they consequently become charcoal.
2) I can never find the right balance between too hot or too cold in my house.
3) The cash machine frequently runs out of tenners so I have to dispense £20 notes.
4) My landlord won’t buy me a dishwasher.
5) I went out to town and someone else had the same fancy dress outfit as me.
6) I’ve been here three years and not once have I received a single surprise care package.
7) The shower pressure at uni house is like a watering can…
8) I have to wait until my Birthday or Christmas to get some new stuff.
9) I still don’t know the names of some of the students I have weekly lectures for three months and probably never will…
10) I was eager for breakfast until I noticed there was only a drop of milk left in the carton…
11) This is the poorest, yet richest I’ve ever been.
12) The last days of term and my friends have gone and left me in this house alone…
13) My parents gave me three cookbooks I’ve never used and sitting on my shelf.
14) Had to switch computers numerous times because the person next to me was either breathing, typing or listening to music too loudly…
15) I set my alarm for 8:30pm instead of 8:30am, my lecturer didn’t believe me…
16) A homeless person asked if I had any spare change. Sudden realisation kicked in, that I usually ask the same thing…
17) I have to walk about two miles to shop at somewhere cheaper when I have another store in a three minute walk.
18) The misery when I open the tea tin to find that all the tea bags have been used.
19) Too much water in my value priced noodles.
20) Three best years of your life, but the hardest.
21) The only mail I get sent is from charities and political parties. The irony. I open them anyway…
22) The problem is I miss my uni friends when I’m at home and miss my home friends at uni.
23) Had to watch the X factor final on my laptop because Simon Cowell didn’t send me an invite.
24) That time I had to pay the barbers six pounds in coins. He was not too happy…
25) No clean mugs because the washing up hasn’t been done. Even though some of it is mine…
26) My eyes are sore from staring at the screen all day, every day.
27) The only way to attract people to your society is if there’s free food. Which runs out quite quickly…
Hope you could relate, or know what to expect. It’s all part of the undergrad journey!
