(Apologies to anyone who read this when I first posted it way back when,
on the day a bunch of posts vanished. This is a re-creation from memory. :)

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.
