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.
