OK, OK, I give.
> The Student Checklist (cut-out-and-keep version) > > 1) Eating peach slices out of the tin.
Never did that. Not as a student anyway.
However, does it count to eat yogurt with the piece of foil that seals the top, because you forgot to get a spoon? I did that several times (stupid signal processing class).
> 2) Going to the 24 hour laundry at 1:00 in the morning.
Of course.
> 3) Taking two bin liners full of clothes to said laundry.
Yes. My roommate was even worse, probably because she had more clothing than me so didn't run out as fast.
> 4) Doing an entire project in the student bar, and being forced to hand it in with a coffee/beer ring somewhere on it.
Nope.
> 5) Becoming one of those people with a nocturnal life.
Yep.
> 6) Growing and dyeing your own hair.
By growing, do you mean growing it longer? Nope, it was already long. And no dyeing.
> 7) Dyeing someone else's hair because they fell asleep after a bender.
Never even had the opportunity...
> 8) The Obligatory Traffic Cone Incident.
Unlike everyone else who has responded, I don't quite know what the Obligatory Traffic Cone Incident *is*. I didn't do anything with traffic cones, so I guess I have to say no here. On the other hand, I have a number of "incidents" that were probably of a similar or worse nature, so maybe I should call it a good substitution and leave it at that.
> 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.
Yup. Still do that sometimes.
> 10) Partaking of too much caffeine, giving you The Fear.
Nope. I found it impossible for me to ingest that much caffeine.
> 11) Basing a religion/mythology around one of your lecturers.
Nope.
> 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.
Nope. It probably helped that 6 AM rowing practice got me up long before classes. However, rolling out of bed five minutes before practice...
> 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.
Never did that. The closest I ever got was going to the wrong *building* during my fifth year to proctor a test. And I did notice right away, because the room didn't exist.
> 15) Exploring the biochemistry department and acting like the special forces/FBI.
Exploring? Most certainly! Acting like the FBI? No. More like the fugitive.
> 16) Raw pasta because you didn't have time.
Nope, but in high school I used to eat raw rice to keep myself busy.
