OK so I felt I just had to make you all aware of this. Here is a list of 75 things UCAS (the people we in the UK have to go through before going to Uni) don't tell you about University. Some of these are so unbelieveably true. I know I read it before starting Uni and said to myself that I'll be different, and now nearly at the end of my last semester I can't really find a vault in the list.

So for those at/left Uni, laugh at what categories you fall under. Those thinking of going to Uni, welcome to your life ^_^ ;)

1. Pound coins are priceless

2. You will turn into an alcoholic

3. You live for post

4. The student loan isn't nearly enough << I recently found this out when I saw £0 in my bank account and - £1,205 :(

5. You won't survive without the internet << My normally anyway xD

6. Food is more expensive than you think

7. The halls were only clean on the open day

8. Every class has a complete **** in it ( if you can't see them, it's you)

9. Your room will only be tidy when you're meant to be working and are bored of facebook/msn/ the internet in general

10. Smoking weed appears to be mandatory

11. You need a car

12. Your laptop becomes your best friend

13. You will learn to type a billion words a minute

14. You'll eventually become immune to alcohol

15. Student loan and overdraft is NOT free money

16.You'll never know what day of the week it is << I find this becoming more true with everyday xD

17. You have no idea what is going on in the world outside uni.

18. No matter how much cutlery you bring to uni, you will always run short of knives and forks but have too many spoons.

19. You will be Faceraped many times

20. You will eat anything

21. You will wear the same pair of jeans for however many days/weeks/months you like. :r:

22. You will wish that the fire alarms were not there

23. £1 shops are the holy grail

24. You will worship Tesco

25. You will ask for student discount on everything you buy

26. Showers become less important. Sleep becomes more important

27. Your work WILL actually form a new mountain range

28. Your calculator will become your solemate

30. There will be at least one lecturer you hate

31. There will be at least one lecturer you love

32. Going to bed at 2am is an early night

33. Most of your education will be obtained outside of lectures.

34. You will spend countless hours gazing out of the window.

35. You won't miss T.V

36. I-player is God

37. Your bin will overflow for weeks on end

38. Your bread will go mouldy :glare:

39. To iron your jeans, you spread them out on the floor and force the creases out by hand.

40. Prank calls become funny again

41. You'll never really know who lives below/above you until there is a fire alarm and you are all kicked outside

42. You'll eat cereal for dinner

43. You will wear your bag on both shoulders

44. College students are so much more mature

45. You will become an expert in making paper aeroplanes

46. You will find yourself browsing youtube for hours

47. You will destroy your corridor in halls after a good night out

48. You should NEVER leave your room unlocked

49. Taxis will be a necessity << Yeah, and a reason you have no money left <_<

50. Your pots and pans won't wash themselves

65. Ketchup is more expensive than you think

75. You will end up wasting loads of time writing silly things like this instead of doing assignments !!

"post" being mail?
"Pound coins are priceless" = "Spare change is important" ?

I'm not at Uni yet, but I do find this one:

16.You'll never know what day of the week it is.

Very sadly true. I never know what day of the week it is.
But great list, at least, I will now be aware of it when I go to Uni.
