> 1) Eating peach slices out of the tin.

Does it count if you go to Sam's Club and buy the miniature tins of peaches?

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

Nope, but that's because mine closes at 11. My old one was open all night, but one of my roommates once had all of her bras stolen at 2 a.m. (Must have been some fraternity pledges who were taking the easy way out of a dare.)

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

I did three huge loads of laundry last weekend. I think that counts.

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

No, that would require me to write it, rather than type it. I haven't done that in years. (In other words, I haven't taken a math class in years.)

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

Yes.

> 6) Growing and dyeing your own hair.

Yes to the former.

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

No.

> 8) The Obligatory Traffic Cone Incident.

No, but there was the Egg Incident. And the Climbing Over the Fence and Laughing When Someone Ripped His Shirt Incident. And the Prank Call Incident(s). And I think I'll stop there.

> 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.

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

I don't remember....

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

Ah, Professor Dorman. I have yet to take one of his legendary classes, but that will change next semester.

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

Not quite, but what if it's a class in your major, and you're actually enrolled in the class?

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

I don't live on campus, but I've done the off-campus equivalent.

> 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. But how about walking into the wrong bathroom, seeing members of the opposite sex in there, and thinking they must be the mistaken ones?

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

No, but we explored a Weird Maintenance Thing and concocted all sorts of theories about what it was.

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

Ew, no, but dry cereal when you're out of milk really isn't so bad.

> Mat"done all but one of these"thew

Like Mia, I've been waiting to see which one you haven't done. You really shouldn't leave us hanging, because certain people (who, me??) will jump to all sorts of conclusions.
