1. Eagerly signing up for an insane amount of clubs during O Week, only to then never attend any of their meetings.

2. Taking quite possibly the worst photo of your life for your student ID card.

3. Participating in awkward but necessary ice breakers during the first week of class.

I hate icebreakers at uni, got asked to say my name and something nice that I've done today and I panicked and came out with "my names Dom and I haven't had any lunch today", socially awkward prick

4. Promising to get better grades every semester, only to accept that you're most likely going to fail halfway through.

5. Calculating the minimum number of marks needed to pass a subject.

6. Constantly debating whether attending university is actually worth it.

7. Working on an entire group project yourself because no one else is bothered to get their shit together.

8. Dragging yourself out of the warmth and safety of your bed to attend an 8am lecture.

9. Congratulating yourself when you do any sort of work.

10. Living off a diet that basically consists of instant noodles, pasta, coffee, and cheap alcohol.

11. Attempting to learn an entire semester's worth of content right before an exam.

12. Stressing over the format of a single email to your lecturer, only to then receive a one-worded response.

Emailing professors be like Me: *polite greeting, multiple paragraphs, perfect grammar* Professor: “sure” -sent from my iPhone

13. Trying to enrol in subjects for the following semester, only for all your classes to clash or already be full.

14. Wasting an entire day while waiting in line at the Student Centre.

15. Going out with your friends even though you have an assignment due at 9am the next day.

16. Spending all your life savings on textbooks that you only use once.

17. Avoiding certain areas during student elections you won't get swarmed with flyers.

18. Visiting the library to free yourself of ~distractions~, only to have made no progress hours later.

19. Pretending that everything's fine when someone asks how you're doing.

20. Putting effort into an assignment and receiving a barely passable grade.

21. Sending out numerous applications for unpaid internships you're only sort of interested in.

22. Doing anything and everything besides studying for your exams.

23. Having your camera roll transform into a mini note-taker.

24. Taking a nap because you need a break from all your stressful responsibilities.

25. Rocking up to lectures feeling like absolute death because of your hangover.

26. And learning how to budget your meagre student bank account... the hard way.
