There are some items that seem to appear as a collection in every student’s fridge. It’s like they get it as a welcome package. A tasty one.

1. Cheese
Cheese is just the most delicious thing in the world. It’s like a little taste of heaven. However cheese is not cheap and therefore it is like gold dust. Any time you go to take a few slices of that beautiful mature cheddar, the block slowly gets smaller and smaller before you’ve even taken the grater out of the cupboard. Those animals.

2. Sweet Chilli Sauce.
It doesn’t matter what you’re cooking, sweet chilli sauce goes with everything. Pasta, sandwhiches, chips, chicken. If it’s raw, burned, gone off. Sweet chilli sauce will save it.

3. Pasta
Pasta for every single meal is perfectly normal as a student. After a time, you even have your favourite type.

4. Pasta Sauce
What goes well with pasta? Tomatoe and Basil pasta sauce of course! If you’re trying to watch your diet you can get sauce with mushroom or if you’re feeling a bit wild why not some spicy pepper?

It won’t look like this…

5. Fajita Kits
Fajita kits everywhere, except that you’re too stingy to buy chicken fillets so you just use the wraps when you run out of bread, and Tom tried to eat the salsa when he was drunk. Anyone who offers to cook dinner, it’s going to be fajitas.

6. Beans and Spaghetti
If a nuclear war does ever come into fruition you are sorted with tinned goods.

7. Noodles
20 cent noodles. It’s not a question of how many do you need but how many can you carry.

8. Oranges
You had good intentions that one time and now they’re into their second phase of mould.

9. The Phantom Onion
You don’t know where it came from, you don’t know how it got into the vegetable drawer of your fridge but it did and yet no one thinks of throwing it out.

9.Mooju
This is generally in the fridge on a Friday morning after a night on the beer. Who would think that some chocolatey milkey goodness could cure what ails you but it does. It really really does. All hail Mooju.

10. Frozen Chicken Dippers
You can put them in anything, they’re great. They are what holds a meal together. 2.30am in the morning though, leave the oven alone, you are not in a position to operate heavy machinery.

11. Left Over Pizza
No one would order takeaway with you so you couldn’t get your meal over a tenner for free delivery. You do what any sane person does and buy a second pizza so you can have some saintly pepperoni for the morning to.

12. Rustlers Burgers
A college students life saver. Its a pre-made burger, bun and all that you pop into the microwave for a minute and voilà! Dinner is served!

13. Cereal
You will never see as much cereal as in a student’s house. For some it will be choco pops, for the rich it will be the original great tasting flavour of coco pops. Sadly though, no one ever thinks of buying milk and if they do, it’s more then likely left out all day.

14. Mammy Meals.
These are just the worst. Sunday evening they prance into the house on their little high horse with about 10 lunch boxes filled with lasagna’s, shepards pie and curry. These pretenders who believe they’re living the student life but they’re just big fat phoneys! What’s worse is they then take up all the freezer space with you having no place to put your prison food.

And then they have the audacity, no, the gumption to ask would anyone like to get some takeaway with their expendable cash.

People can get a little high and mighty when it comes to Arts degrees. But those who have done one, we know why we did them – because they're awesome! So stay strong. And to the rest of you – here's some things you shouldn't say to someone pursuing an Arts degree. 

1. So What Was Your First Choice?

squidward

Um, this? 

2. Oh, You Want To Be A Teacher?

batman bad idea

No, one thousand times, no.

3. A Lecturer, Then?

nicole sherzinger no baby no

Once again, no. 

4. That’s Quite Broad, Isn’t It?

demi lovato um n

Nope, not really. Not when you choose your subjects. We don’t actually do a little bit of everything, you know?

6. Are Your Parents Okay With It?

modern family phil

Actually, um, no…

7. What Do You Hope To Get From It?

disbelief supernatural

An education, hopefully. Even better if there’s a job at the end of it.

8. Why’d You Decide To Do That?

sherlock eyeroll

Because it's interesting? 

8. Can You Get A Job From It?

bernard black books not impressed

What do you think? 

9. You Could Have Done Nursing/Engineering

Sigh. 

10. Can I Have Some Fries With That?

Ah college, you served us well. Now that we have entered the dreaded real world, we have come to appreciate the time we spent in college, lazing away and occasionally strolling around the library.

Here are some of the things we are still mourning about college life:

1. It’s still socially acceptable to be an immature eejit
Not a girl, not yet a woman.

12. College is the last time you’ll have absolutely zero responsibility
The only task you have is to pass your exams, everything else ultimately ends up in the care of someone else.

23. It’s okay to scrounge off your parents
You can call up your parents and ask them for rent (beer) money without hesitation, and they will usually give in to your request.

34. You don’t mind drinking cheap beer and vodka
Tesco finest vodka and gin and maybe some Buckfast for good measure.

image505. You don’t work a full-time job
Because you can’t. Hello, we have tutorials. Zzz…

u6. Having the freedom to come and go as you please
Missed a lecture? It’s graaaaand, you’ll totally make it next week. But you miss work ONE time and they freak. What’s the deal?

giphy7. Not having mind-crushing hangovers
Remember when you could down a naggin and wake up singing? Us neither, puuuke!

l

8. It was still somewhat somewhat acceptable to take weird drunken photos.
Now you’ll never get hired if these hit your newsfeed…

Drunk-People-horse9. You enjoy living weekend to weekend
Before you started working full time, you could party anytime you like, now it’s strictly Friday and Saturday nights. How dull.

giphy10. 4 months off in the summer
Ah, them were the days. This gem even inspired a lot of us to become teachers, you know.

There is always a few of these people at a college house party. Try to make sure you aren’t one of them!

1. The Snapchat Story guy
The guy who spends more time taking photos and adding them to his “Snapchat Story” than he does actually socialising with anyone at the party. Why he feels the need to catalogue everything about his boring night so he can look at it in the morning and “show off” to his friends, we don’t know.

giphy2. The hole-in-the-wall drunk
The ridiculously drunk guy who freaks out because somebody ashed into his drink by accident. Everybody proceeds to take the p*ss out of him because of his hilarious antics, until he lashes out at the closest door, wall or chair in his way. Silence follows, usually by him being kicked out of the house.

w3. The turn-the-music-down kid
Don’t be this person. “Hey, guys could you turn the music down a little?” Nothing sinks your buzz more than this.

giphy4. The drunken mess
This is the person who is at EVERY party – the one who cannot handle their drink, slips and slides all over the house and slurs their words before 11pm. They usually have someone “taking care” of them just after midnight and either pass out on the couch or get taken home early.

e5. The random guy
The guy who nobody knows! Nobody invited him but he’s showed up and managed to sneak in, wearing the creepiest grin you’ll ever see. He stands against the far corner wall, his knee propped upright to support him, sipping on a can of Miller Lite and eyeballing every girl in the room. Agh!

wild-card6. The annoying photo-bomber
This one shuffles around the house at a tremendous speed, not speaking to anybody for over 5 minutes, and jumps halfway across the room to ensure that his fat head leaps into the frame of every girl who’s trying to take a picture with her friends.

l

7. The drinking game guy
The one who barges into the party late, attempting to clear everything off the table and shut down the music so he can set up BEER PONG! Or even ignite a game of “Kings.”

While it may have seemed like the worst thing EVER back in the day, when you look back on it, you were very lucky to have been given to chance to go to the Gaelteacht.

Here are some of the fond memories you no doubt have:

1. Where the hell are we?
When you are on the bus to the Gaeltacht you feel like it takes an eternity to actually get there. It all starts to look the same and you’re so deep into the countryside there are no roads only laneways.

BNJesMP2. Learning absolutely no Irish
Nobody actually learns Irish at the Gaelteacht – more like Engrish. “An bhfuil cead agam dul go  dtí an beach and take a swim?”

post-33751-I-have-no-idea-what-youre-talk-tg0I3. Shifting up against the back wall at the disco
You cringe now. Back then you were just glad you got your first shift in Irish college and didn’t have to go to school in September a “frigid.”

ic

4.  Playing Hot Potato during every break
Or else that weird clapping game that all of the cool girls played.

tumblr_lunranbzy41qdm9llo1_5005. Ban an Ti
She is the head of the household and was crazy enough to volunteer to keep a huge bunch of girls in her house for two weeks. She makes your breakfast and dinner washes your clothes if they’re dirty, a real Irish mammy.

mlf56. Ceilis
Any time you hear Irish dancing instructions you shudder at the thought. The Ceili is on every night and you have to learn the steps and try not to look like a fool in front of the Irish college veterans.

ceilimeme-37. No TV and no Internet
Looking back, we were troopers for surviving without a TV or internet or music! Go us!

giphy8. Couples
During your two/three week stay in the Gaeltacht almost of every girl and every guy get together and then before they leave they break up.

All this time in college you assumed that you would just walk into  job, right? Well, here are things that you need to know when finding your first real career break:

1. In everyone’s mind you’re officially an adult
In college you were only a student, in purgatory between a teenager and adult. No one could complain,  “sure, he’s going to university isn’t he”? This quickly changes when you leave college to “ah, he is taking a year out”, even though that usually involves some sort of travelling.

Grow_up2. Interviews can sometimes feel like an interrogation
It is bad enough when there is one interviewer, but  if there are two or three you feel like it’s an interrogation, as they slowly eye you up and crush your will.

the_appropriate_interrogation_method_for_suspect_2-444103. Working for free  is the most likely option
“Well, do you have any experience? No … well, you can always work for free” Yes it has come to this. You never thought  it would happen, but you’re thinking of working for free.

i_should_stop_working_for_free4. Oh, so that’s why you get a summer job
“Sure who needs a summer job, it’s only for money, I don’t need money.” When your young, money is just a thing you use to buy sweets. Summer job’s are all about experience  and you ponder this while looking at a blank CV.

rs_490x252-130924164450-tumblr_inline_mr8cxpB9Ak1qz4rgp5. Your CV is actually important
“CV? Sure I’ll just put my leaving cert results on it and it will be grand”. Hmm, you think that your employers are going to be impressed by your Leaving Cert results?

post-32130-Gordon-Ramsay--Do-you-want-a-f-YjJQ6. You’re not the only one
“I’m a shoe in, the interviewer really seems to like me.” Little do you realize that there are actually other people who went for the interview as well. They have more experience than you, better people skills, and have worked in a job like this before. Harsh, but true.

tumblr_m325a9qWoW1rosecn7. Socializing is a thing of the past
You will  quickly find out that when you’re not working you don’t have money.

tumblr_mbo1zugX9f1qg2uji8. Signing on
As much as you thought you wouldn’t need to, sometimes you may need to sign on. But don’t worry, hopefully it won’t be for too long. Keep up the motivation and don’t allow yourself to get stuck in a rut.

dole_1482505c9. Degree … What Degree?
You spend 3 0r 4 years doing a degree only to find out that the piece of paper is worthless and it’s in Latin so no one can read it. It is basically just used as an indication of what your interests are.

flynt-empty-roll-of-toilet-paper-with-the-phrase-plan-b-concept-for-alternative-planning

10. Chance to learn something new
Instead of staying at home watching daytime TV, you could actually make the most of your time and learn something new. You could finally learn to drive, learn a new language, go skydiving, go to the gym. The world is your oyster!

Let’s face it, there is a LOT of stuff you can do in college that just doesn’t happen in real life. Here are some examples of what we will miss most this summer:

1. Not being able to see your college friends every day. Sniff.
We live and breathe every minute with our college homies and adapting to spending time without them is one of the major downsides to summer.

tumblr_mnxpy37ntn1r9cz4eo1_500

2. Midday drinking
Now that you’re back home, it’s no longer possible to skip your 3 hour lab for a pint of Fosters in the student bar. Instead, the only alcohol you will consume during the day will be the Bailey’s cheesecake your Granny offers you during lunch.

3. Peaceful sleep-ins
Back in college, daily lie-ins were always a part of your morning routine. Sadly, you are now woken at 9am by your mother who sharply opens the curtains and lectures you on how “you should be outside enjoying the good weather while we have it!” Ugh.

tumblr_mc4xq7nQvt1rn9ijs

4. Having an excuse not to work
Throughout the college year there’s always an assignment to be used as an excuse not to get a job. Now that you have three to four months sitting on your behind, you have no excuse to pass down a job offer from the local supermarket. For those of us who already had part-time work, prepare for a dramatic increase in ‘weekday’ work. Whoo.

american-beauty-job-spacey-responsibility

5. Meeting new people
College offers brilliant opportunities to meet new and exciting people almost every day. At home however, you know everyone in your little town or village. A whole summer spent with the same people day everyday is bound to take its toll. Bring back the randomers!

6. Going out whatever night you feel like it
Whether you’re in Dublin or Cork, Limerick or Galway, any night can be a ‘going out’ night. To our misfortune, Monday Madness and three euro pints on a Thursday are unheard of concepts in our locals. Drinking on a weeknight at home offers a crowd of your father’s friends and a varied choice of Guinness or Heineken on tap. Monday Madness? We think not.

original

7. The classes you actually like
Although attending class wasn’t really your thing all semester, during the summer months we would happily sit in a class with the oddball lecturer who likes to reminisce about his weed smoking days on an escapade to Holland back in the 80’s. The entertaining stories kept your mind occupied.

8. The convenience of delivery food
In college, if you don’t feel like cooking, food was only a call away. Whether it’s Chinese or Indian, food is at your doorstep within the hour. However, if you live in the back arse of nowhere and you’re pretty sure that the sat-nav doesn’t even acknowledge where you live, scraping the bottom of the freezer for a microwave pizza is as good as it gets.

tumblr_inline_mrxx5ashMi1qz4rgp

9. The Free Wi-Fi
Hey, not everywhere has free Wi-Fi, it’s a commodity in this world! Not the best connection at times but it still kept you constantly connected during those ‘morning after the night before’ scenarios when a tagged photo or two needed to be removed immediately.

when-you-see-something-you-want-to-buy-but-have-no-money_1405

 

10. Being able to live on a budget
In college it’s quite acceptable to live off literally zero cash. The summer months are an expensive time what with bikinis to be bought for sun holidays and interrailing tickets to be paid for. There’s grown -up style responsibilities on the horizon and it’s time to start saving. Sigh.

The month of May signals one thing for all students – exams. Here are some of the most annoying people you will encounter in the exam hall.

 1. More paper people
Every year there are those who insist on shooting their hands into the air and asking for an extra booklet, while the rest of us sit struggling to fill one.

2. Toilet dwellers
Five times in one exam? Suspicious…

3. The people who leave early
They filled in their name and poof! Gone. And you are left sitting there wondering if they are a genius, or just an idiot.

4. High style folk
These are the people who arrive wearing high heels and four inches of make up on their face set for the post exam drinks in town.

5. Restless legs
The whole row of tiny tables is rocking uncontrollably because of that guy who can’t keep his knee still.

 6. The jingling girl
There’s always one girl who insists on wearing 15 bracelets and 4 rings into each exam. Tap. Tap. Jingle. Jingle. Make it stop!

 7. Cheaters
These creatures are rare but to those of you out there who get away with it, we envy you all.

8. Coughers/sneezers/throat clearers
Just get a tissue! Please!

They stalk the library, they head home for the entire study week or they crawl into a ball and cry. Which person do you become during exam season?

1. The Confident Planner
Before even opening the paper and attempting to read any of the questions, you write down the exact time you’re allowing yourself for each section. You got this.

2. The Brave Level-Headed Soldier
If the soundtrack to your life was available, you would hear the pounding force of ‘Eye of the Tiger’ or the soaring string melody that plays as William Wallace fights for Scotland and FREEDOM. Armed and ready with your brand new pen in hand, and channelling every motivational speaker you watched in the last few weeks, you underline everything you think is important , making you feel in control; while the exam may take your life (social that is…let’s not be extreme) IT WILL NEVER TAKE YOUR FREEDOM: Enter William Wallace…

The professional procrastinator has the ability to see an interest in every single thing around them…except what they should be doing. Have you experienced any of these?

1. Sleeping.

You have a few days extra at home before you have to make the trek back to college, and everyone knows that no bed is as comfortable as your bed at home.

2. Binge watching netflix series

3. Obsessively painting nails a different colour…every hour

4. Trying out every single hairstyle on Lauren Conrad’s website

5. Shopping

6. Downloading new music

Illegally downloading tonnes of tracks to get your pre-drinks playlist ready for summer. Sure it doesn’t even take that long!

7. Dancing.

8. Playing an instrument.

Sure the parents will only be delighted that you’ve taken an interest in the violin after the years of lessons they forced you to take.

9. Trying out new make-up looks

1. You’re seriously considering dropping out and doing something- ANYTHING- that breaks the mundane routine of trudging into lectures in the lashing rain that feels more like a fully clothed shower than ‘light drizzle’ as predicted by RTE.

2. After weeks and weeks of having nothing to do, just idly strolling around campus and chatting with friends, you suddenly have the week of doom where EVERYTHING in your various modules are due the SAME WEEK.

3. Remember all those assignments you were told all those weeks ago? Back in… week 2? You know… the ones that wouldn’t take that long and you had plenty of time to start them so you didn’t? Yeah… turns out you completely misjudged the level of work that’s required and oh, look at that. It’s due tomorrow. Happy days.

5. Just when you’re panicking about all the work you’ve yet to do, all it takes is one glance at your newsfeed and the gloomy pictures of highlighted notes and stacks of textbooks and this sudden serenity settles over you that at least you aren’t doing the Leaving Cert again. College is way easier.

6. Instead of studying the inverted pyramid or Brecht’s Theatre, you’re planning all these fantastic things to do during the summer. Things like bike riding in Dingle, camping out in Spiddal, breathing in the fresh air at the Cliffs of Moher, volunteering for the local newspaper, strolling down a Parisian boulevard, running for president… things you’ve absolutely no intention of keeping.

But somehow, and you’re not sure how, you ended up munching through three tonnes of chocolate and a barrel of vodka and weren’t really fit to do anything except lounge around on the couch until the sugar coma ended. Which was, coincidentally, on the bus down to college.
