Must ... jump ... on ... bandwagon ...

> The Student Checklist (cut-out-and-keep version)
>
> 1) Eating peach slices out of the tin.

Nope. Black olives, yes. Peaches, no.

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

Well, not the 24-hour laundry, but the laundry room in the residence hall, which doesn't close. 1 AM is the absolute best time to get laundry done.

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

Oh, yes. When I came home for Christmas break, I had a hamper and a suitcase's worth of dirty laundry.

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

Well, not an entire project, but my homework, yes.

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

Hehehe. Ohhhh, yes.

> 6) Growing and dyeing your own hair.

Nope ... more like trying to keep it short because it grows like a weed.

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

Nah. I figure that once they wake up, they'll be suffering enough.

> 8) The Obligatory Traffic Cone Incident.

Muahahahaha. Check.

> 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.

Yes. There's one dish that's achieved mythic status because it's been lying in the dorm's kitchen since the first week of the semester. Rumor has it that it's already killed three maintenance people who've tried to remove it.

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

Ahhhh, yes. I remember that night. I wish I didn't.

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

*smothers laughter* Check.

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

Nope.

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

Yep.

> 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.

I had to cut through a corridor of laboratories in order to get to my math class, so I got to do that twice a week. After one guy took it too far and dressed up like an agent and got arrested for disorderly conduct, though, it lost its appeal.

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

I refuse to do this, but my roommate eats Ramen from the bag. Loudly.

Cynth"well ... which one?"ia
