Things I have learnt as a student
In no particular order (although at this precise moment, number 1 holds a special place)1) You can make 1 pizza last three meals. Mmm...re-heated pizza. It tastes better with each round.
2) If a nice man at the check-in desk announces "We are looking for volunteers to get off this flight in return for compensation." - you run. You run like crazy to that desk (elbowing old ladies if necessary) and you grab that man and you say "Me! I will take the money!!"
3) If your roomate goes away you do NOT let the cat into their room. The cat will find bad things and bring them out. Bad kitty, bad.
4) It is possible to survive on mars bars, diet coke and all-season crisps during high pressure exam times. You may develop scurvy, but you will be alive.
5) The prospect of getting a summer job is highly over-rated. Work like a b'stard for 8 months - take the damn summer off!
6) When someone looks at you and says "Oooh, you look a bit stressed and peaky." - you are. Stop and listen and for heavens sake have a lie down.
7) It is perfectly ok to sleep until 11am during spring break. Absorb the pleasure....mmm....pleeeasssure. Enough of that - disgusting.
8) Learn to love your fellow lab partners. Not too much. Just enough so that you think twice about smashing them over the head with a microscope or inserting a petri dish somewhere painful.
9) Don't trust your lab partners. They *will* smash you over the head with a microscope and insert petri dishes somewhere painful. Dog eat dog, i tell thee.
10) There is nothing to compare with British Chinese take-out. Nothing.
