Spot the Fresher
I've been back at Uni now for 3 days, but it's so easy to 'spot the fresher'.
I shall offer you a quick guide of how to spot a Fresher
1st Law
'Bum fluff'
You don't want to look like you've just come out of primary school so what do you do? You try to grow a beard of course! However, it's clearly obvious that you haven't been on this planet long enough to have had enough shaves to grow a proper beard so it looks a bit fluffy.
I did this, btw - to see if I could grow something. I still can't...
2nd Law
'Wear outrageous clothes'
You're at Uni now. Why would you want to look like everyone else? You're different to everyone else in the world and no one can put you in a box even though everyone else can be boxed up. So what should you do? That's right. Wear things that make you stand out.
But if everyone does the same thing, then who's standing out?
3rd Law
'Where? How? Why? When?'
Where's A block? How do I get to A block? Why do I need to go to A block? When do I need to go to A block?
Are you accidently trying to flash your fresherism at me? Or are you just proud of it?
4th Law
'Keep fit'
Due to the lack of knowledge about the Uni, freshers tend to do a lot of doubling back on themselves, therefore they walk further and keep fit :)
5th Law
'Shirts'
Only freshers wear proper shirts like they're at work. The only people at Uni who are allowed to wear shirt and black trousers are lecturers and me, but only when I've come straight from work. lol. Actually, I should've gone home to change but couldn't be bothered.
6th Law
'Do EVERYTHING'
Pool. Snooker. It-box *wink*, gym, Uni ball, Uni party, fashion show... you name it, freshers gotta do it!
7th Law:
'Queue up nicely'
Freshers are really well behaved in queues. Seriously.
Disclaimer: My list is neither conclusive, accurate or a true representation of freshers.

and dont forget the constant panicked look on their faces and their tendancy to be found in woolworths and argos buying practically enough stuff to kit out a whole 10 houses!
their ability to get drunk on 1 pint and constant attempts to look cool to disguise the fact that they are so nervous. Ahhh it's tough being a fresher - i hated it. Roll on week 4 when they've settled in.
And the sheer panic of 'oh no!! I've been running around looking for my class and now my lecture has started!! I'm too scared to go in late' .... so don't then!! Go find a friend in the union.
Or 'I slept in and ran the whole way here but still missed my lecture, I need to find my lecturer to apologise'.
So when u see you're gonna b late, make the executive decision to get 40minutes more sleep ... and lectures aren't gonna spot that you're not there!!!

I think we have forgotten something very important....
Freshers flu!!
Don't you remember - all those lovely bugs bouncing towards each other with glee...
It doesn't help with all the snogging, the sharing of drinks... and all the other sharing that goes on!
I of course never got it personally!
