"So, you university lot..."

I know the general population of SR is at going-to-University age and because most of you are sharper than your average spoons I'm sure a lot of you are diving deep into the neverending pool of governmental debt that is higher education.

Now that it's imminent (well, about 6 weeks away) how prepared/nervous/excited do you feel about the whole thing?

Potentially the only thing that worries me is getting kidnapped by the Palestinians, which isn't very likely since I bought my lead suit.

My plan was to make a lively debate about this whole issue but it's half two in the morning and I'm trying to play online poker whilst typing this, so just try and salvage whatever you can from this.


On a side-note, what the hell has happened to this damn forum? It's like the God of binary condemned this place and wiped his biblical ass all over it. Faggy n00bs lol, k.

Heh.

I'm really looking forward to it now.

I get moments of excitement and moments of a nervous nature, but I really just can't wait.

It all lies down to next Thursday mind...

I'm a world weary 32yr old who feels like he's looking through a time-portal to when he was 17/18 and wondering if I was that cliched or whether I genuinely believed I was doing things that nobody else before me had done.

He's an angsty little 14 year old



just like I like them.

I wouldn't say he's nangry. Sarcastic maybe, but not angry.

Goatboy is nangry.

Unless you go to prison and get assraped by Bernice.
Except you haven't bothered to find out what happened to a related case a week ago.
Does your girlfriend know you're an arsonist, or does it turn her on to live on the wild side?
And is she imaginary, like Neal the Fire Pixie?

I don't think it is possible not to make friends at uni. Unless you try not too.

I'm going on holiday with 2 friends from uni and my girlfriend, who I also met there.

Medicine it is then

I'm going to try to avoid freshers week by hiding out in my room alone.

I was lucky enough to go to a 4-day thing at my uni (central lancs) to get to know the uni and meet a metric assload of people who I will be staying with or doing my course with which really helped break the proverbial ice.

On your first day you'll be herded up into sub-categories of, Jocks, geeks, playboys, scals, reet dirty moshers and spastics - the group you are placed with will be your friends for the next 3 years.


However, it's really the easiest situation to meet people in. Everyone is nervous they wont make friends so if someone goes up to them and says, "Hi" then they're so happy to have made contact they wont reject you - even if you haven't showered.

The time I spent at uni a few weeks ago was basically just a practise for freshers week and I made a ton of new friends, so in the full-blown ass-ripping freshers week you'll get to know loads of people.

It will be several shades of awesome.

The only thing about uni thats grating on me a bit is how the loan only covers the tuition fees and the accomadation costs - I might like to eat and drink sometime in the 3 years you sick governmental assjacks! Give all the immigrants me damn food dont you?
