University Life...........

[Avatar]

Do you remember when you were at university, or perhaps you are studying in one now, tell us and the little ones of IW about your University experience!

Here is a little bit about my food situation at Uni...

The 1st major discovery at university was SPAM! [img]graemlins/spam2.gif[/img]
YES this was the ideal food source... it provided u with mechanic meat at a cheap price and tasty compliments like salt. I lived off spam for a while. Spam and Bread, Spam and Beans, Spam and noodles, Spam and Coffee, Spam and Bed.... Spam and Spam ...
But then one day.. i stopped eating spam........
i stopped buying spam.....
WHY????
NOT because i was tirred of the [img]graemlins/spam2.gif[/img] nor was it because i wanted to be healthy after looking in the mirror, it wasn't because i was dying from malnutrition... not EVEN because a certain girl started telling me to eat healthily or never speak to me again...

IT WAS BECAUSE... i couldn't be bothered to goto the shops anymore...
I was soooo lazy... so tired... so MALE!

But recently i have gone to the shops and cook my own food forced by a dire finacial situation and save food money(a lot trust me).
The 1st time i went food shopping i instinctively grabbed SPAM!
then i remembered a golden rule:

SPAM = 1/(nice body)

girls = (nice body)^q where q is a genetic and social constant that varies with the girl

therefore don't eat SPAM...

so i put it back nicely on the shelf where it sat for a while longer..

Er.... Okaaaaaay Avatar - I think you should sit in a quiet room for a while by yourself [img]tongue.gif[/img]

I never went to uni when I was younger, so this is all alien to me. When I went part-time (the last 6 years of my life, LOL) it was mostly hard work and hard drinking. Oh but I do the latter anyway. So just hard work.

I studied where Avatar did, and absolutely loved walking along the River Cam (beyond Jesus Green, I think), watching the ducklings waddle about and swans glide along.

My Uni days were the most carefree and fun ones in my life. It was just so cool to be able to pick exactly what to cook for dinner, what time to sleep (without well-intentioned nagging in the background), when to do laundry, when to go visiting my friends in their colleges, when to check out the books at Waterstones/Dillons/WHSmith/Heffers and stuff... it doesn't sound like much, but the kind of freedom I had is something I always look back on with fond memories.

Sure, I am a working person now and should be able to have even more independence. But I have chosen since my return, to try to please my parents as much as possible. That was when the self-imposed caging effect set in...

*Cough*spammer*cough*.

I was at College (American equivalent, I believe) at Otterbein in Westerville OH. A lot of good times and good friends and a wee bit of studying. Classes really got in the way of my college experience...
