Before I begin, I was only a student for 1 year. So my score is artificially low.

> 1) Eating peach slices out of the tin.

Yup.

> 2) Going to the 24 hour laundry at 1:00 in the morning.

Yup.

> 3) Taking two bin liners full of clothes to said laundry.

Of course. You need to arrange it that you go as infrequently as possible.

> 4) Doing an entire project in the student bar, and being forced to hand it in with a coffee/beer ring somewhere on it.

Not an entire project. But all of it except for actual programming.

> 5) Becoming one of those people with a nocturnal life.

I'm a nocturnal person anyway. I managed to stay awake during the day.

> 6) Growing and dyeing your own hair.

Growing, yes. Dyeing, no.

> 7) Dyeing someone else's hair because they fell asleep after a bender.

Shaving.

> 8) The Obligatory Traffic Cone Incident.

Traffic cones? Road signs? There was the JCB incident, but I'm not telling you about it.

> 9) Being too afraid to wash one particular dish because you haven't washed it for about a week already and you don't want to touch it.

Nope. Drown the mutant fungus civilisations, that's what I say.

> 10) Partaking of too much caffeine, giving you The Fear.

Nope. I don't drink tea of coffee.

> 11) Basing a religion/mythology around one of your lecturers.

Nope.

> 12) Sneaking into a sociology lecture and spending the whole time pointing and laughing. Sociologists, replace with philosophy.

Actually I did this in an Applied Mathematics lecture. Does that count?

> 13) Rolling out of bed three minutes before a lecture, and still managing to get up and dressed in time.

Yes.

> 14) Spending an hour in a final year lecture, because you got your times mixed up and you don't want to look stupid by leaving.

No, I decided to look stupid as soon as I realised. Which was half an hour in.

> 15) Exploring the biochemistry department and acting like the special forces/FBI.

Hmmm... We played live-action Highlander. I think that counts.

> 16) Raw pasta because you didn't have time.

Gross! No.
