12 Lessons, Rules And Common Mistakes That Will Speak To The Very Souls Of Aussie Uni Students

    There is no love deeper than that between a uni student and their toasted sanga.

    1. First up, exploiting the free society lunches all around campus.

    2. Learning how to dodge a pigeon, magpie and ibis like there's no tomorrow.

    3. Letting the little respect you once had for toasties grow into a deeply inseparable bond.

    4. Failing to allocate roles in group assignments will result in you doing it either entirely alone...or not at all.

    when you have a group assignment and the person who did none of the work shows up at the end to take all the credit:

    There is nothing worse than having to submit a group assignment you've done all alone, without getting full credit.

    5. Perfecting your smashed avo skills so that you don’t blow your weekly budget on buying it out.

    6. Waking up at midday and having one less meal you need to worry about making.

    7. Deciding whether sipping on a sweet matcha latte is good enough to justify blowing a hard day's pay on it?!

    8. Keeping real houseplants alive is a lot harder than it looks.

    9. Identifying someone in your course who has memorised every assessment due date and timetable is your key to success.

    10. Drinking coffee and Berocca is essential to getting you through those long, long days on campus.
