This Is What Uni Is Like In Your First Year Vs Your Last

    From 100 to 0 real quick.

    1. In your first year of uni, you always make sure you look nice and put-together.

    But in your last year, you’ve given up on trying to impress people, and sometimes barely bother even getting dressed.

    2. In first year, your timetable is a bit all over the place because you don't know any better.

    By the time you’ve reached your last year, you’ve perfected the art of scheduling, maybe even getting your classes down to one or two days a week.

    3. You never miss a single lecture or tute in first year.

    By the last year, you know which classes you absolutely need to go to, and regularly skip others.

    4. You pay super close attention and take detailed notes in class in your first year.

    But in your last year you tend to tune out more often than not.

    5. In first year, you spend a small fortune on textbooks at the unishop.

    In your last year, you know to wait and see which you actually need to buy, which you can borrow, and just how many you can skip altogether.

    6. You do all your readings in first year ahead of class.

    In your last year, you do only the readings you know are necessary - if that.

    7. When you first start uni, you have big plans about being organised and getting assignments done ahead of time.

    By the last year, you leave pretty much everything to the last minute.

    8. In your first year, you dedicate a lot of time to studying ahead of exams.

    In your last year, you figure you’ve probably absorbed enough information by now and you don't need to study much.

    9. When you first start uni, you’re determined to get the best possible marks.

    By the last year, your motto is “Ps make degrees”.

    10. In your first year, you’re super eager to socialise and make friends with the people in your classes.

    In your last year, you spend most of your time avoiding everyone but your close friends.

    11. In the first year of uni, the prospect of starting your career is daunting and distant.

    In your last year, you can’t wait to be done studying.

    12. In your first year of uni, you spend half your nights drinking at the unibar/house parties/pubs and clubs.

    And in your last year of uni, you spend all your nights drinking at the unibar/house parties/pubs and clubs.
