Listen up students, working a 9-5 can be quite a slap in the face when you’re fresh out of university. There’s no time for mid-morning coffees with your housemates or spontaneous trips into town for some shopping in-between lectures. I didn’t want to have to mention this either but the reality of working is also…..no more long holidays….. I know, I’m as gutted as you but, this is all the more reason to seize your Uni years with both hands!
It’s unlikely you’ll go on a crazy and fun-packed sports tour to Portugal again, or attend weekly French-speaking wine nights when you’re working for the man full time. I can’t think when you’ll next dress up like pencils or animals for sports socials, or have the opportunity to spend time on becoming fluent in sign language. Societies are cheap fun too! When else will you get half-price mixology classes than when in cocktail society? When will you have the opportunity to sail around the coast of England in fully provided boats and gear for less than a restaurant food bill? I’m telling you, now is the time to spend what little money we students have wisely. Make memories before you become too busy to do so.
