YOU KNOW YOU'VE BEEN IN UNIVERSITY TOO LONG WHEN

Det er mange av disse listen rundt om kring.... spesiellt på www.facebook.com
Har bare tatt med de punktene som jeg synes passer på livet mitt i edinburgh.....

Read and enjoy

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 Hollyoaks.
You know the pizza boy by name and don't even need to read the menu.
You live for getting mail.
Looking out the window is a form of entertainment.
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.


BEFORE I CAME TO UNIVERSITY, I WISH I HAD KNOWN...
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 every clock on campus shows a different time.
That if you got good a-levels, so what? It doesn't matter here.
That you can know everything and fail a test.
That you can know nothing and ace a test.
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 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.
