I've come to accept some inevitable truths as a university student. I will now share some of them with you so that you can chuckle along with my monotonous existence.
As a university student, I know exactly how much gas is in my tank, and I know exactly how much money gas costs at every station within a five-kilometre radius of both my house, and my parents' house.
As a university student, I know exactly how far I can drive my car on one notch of gas. It's farther than you think, and I know because I've tried.
As a university student, I never take too little food at potlucks, family meals or other communal food-related events. There may not be any food when I come back, and I am not willing to take that chance.
As a university student, I never say no to free food, even if I don't like it. Maybe one of my housemates does. Maybe one of them will trade me for chips or cookies. Or vitamin supplements.
As a university student, I actually take vitamin supplements, because I not only suspect but know for certain that I would otherwise contract scurvy.
As a university student, I have somehow gained the ability to sleep for twelve full hours during the night and still require a mid-afternoon nap.
As a university student, I feel no shame that I mentioned my taking a mid-afternoon nap.
As a university student, I spend so much time hiding away in computer labs and basements that I feel symptoms of Seasonal Affective Disorder during seasons other than winter.
Add your own.
