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.
