It’s not until you move half way across the country away from your parents do you realise how difficult everyday living is for a student. From money, to cooking, all the way to getting out of bed in the morning, you took it all for granted when it came easy a few years ago…
Finding time to cook a healthy balanced meal has proven too time consuming and way too much effort, so you’re living off pot noodles, takeaway, and raw foods…
The only people you have around you are your university buddies, but you have the social skills of a slug and you often find yourself watching others have fun from a distance…
You sleep all day, party all night, and skip all your lectures. And then you have to pull out your acting card as you pretend to be shocked by your terrible grades…
The amount of effort you’ve put into your appearance has dramatically decreased over time, and that’s probably down to the fact you haven’t done any washing in four weeks…
For any lectures you do actually attend, you’ve mastered the art of “fake awake”… Or so you thought…
Every day you question whether it is all worth the pain and how much debt you’ll be dealing with once it’s all over…
And although you feel stressed beyond belief, get no sleep, eat crap, and your grades are failing, thank god for student discount…
