Let's see, then.
  > The Student Checklist (cut-out-and-keep version) > > 1) Eating peach slices out of the tin.
  I never did that, but the wife did. Consistently.
  > 2) Going to the 24 hour laundry at 1:00 in the morning.
  Three, ususally.
  > 3) Taking two bin liners full of clothes to said laundry.
  Nope. Just one great big nylon bag. :-}
  > 4) Doing an entire project in the student bar, and being forced to hand it in with a coffee/beer ring somewhere on it.
  Hrm. I suppose I'd have had to have done some work in order to have experienced that. ;-}
  Actually, in all seriousness, no. The reason being that the capmus centre closed at eleven-thirty, and I never started projects until two-thirty the morning they were due.
  > 5) Becoming one of those people with a nocturnal life.
  Except for the "becoming" part. I always have been.
  > 6) Growing and dyeing your own hair.
  Nope.
  > 7) Dyeing someone else's hair because they fell asleep after a bender.
  Again, no. This would have required me to have friends. Or at least a roommate who ever went out of the room.
  > 8) The Obligatory Traffic Cone Incident.
  Traffic cones, no. Fence spikes, on the other hand...
  > 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.
  Not "afraid." More like "lazy."
  > 10) Partaking of too much caffeine, giving you The Fear.
  Nope. Don't drink anything with caffeine in it.
  > 11) Basing a religion/mythology around one of your lecturers.
  We did that in high school. Well, on the subject of a lecture, anyhow - William Jennings Bryan, to be precise.
  > 12) Sneaking into a sociology lecture and spending the whole time pointing and laughing. Sociologists, replace with philosophy.
  Not sociology, no. I went with a friend of mine to her senior lit lectures a few times, though. :-}
  > 13) Rolling out of bed three minutes before a lecture, and still managing to get up and dressed in time.
  No. Not on time. But, then, I wasn't on time for class when I was already up, anyway. :-}
  > 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.
  Nope. 
  > 15) Exploring the biochemistry department and acting like the special forces/FBI.
  Nope. I avoided that building whever possible; it smelled funny in there.
  > 16) Raw pasta because you didn't have time.
  Nah. If I didn't have time, I just ate after class instead.
