Its only been two months since I gradated and already I hate not being a student. As everyone heads back to uni for freshers I am envious knowing that my time has ended. There are lots of things I miss about student life with the major one being living in Edinburgh. Coming back to a small town is tough and its been a struggle settling back in...I'm sure I'm not the only one!
Its a Sunday...home town = Sunday day infront of the t.v....Edinburgh = day sesh at the pub watching the football potentially followed by a night out whether it be a stumble down to the piano bar or a drunken trip to the casino. I know what I'd rather be doing!
I miss the place where it was acceptable to go out all night, stay at the casino until 6 and rock on up to work still inebriated the next day where it was funny and then you do the same thing that night after work. Or when you turn up to uni half gassed and by the time you get home you have no idea what happened when you were there so it was pointless going in the first place! The days when it was sunny and the immediate plan is to get to the meadows a.s.a.p. followed by a pub crawl down the grass market. Going to random house parties and ending up spending time with the most random people that you never come across again. When everyone worked the weekends and week nights were the time for socialising. The list goes on!!
We all moan when we are at uni and pretty much do the bare minimum to get by (and then moan when we get our papers back with average grades claiming we put in so much effort i.e. 2 days instead of so many hours prior to handing it in lol) but I'm already missing it. I also miss having a healthy bank balance when my loan, bursary and payslip came in at the end of the month. Being able to fund having a fab social life, having a virgin active gym membership, being able to save up for tavelling/holidays/trips, and being able to buy nice birthday and christmas gifts. Not getting taxted on your wage (and getting huge rebaits if they do by accident :) ) or having to pay stupid things like council tax. The fact is...you're much more wealthy as a student!!
Owell it was good while it lasted. At least I have my student debt as a probable life long momento! The saddest part is that at the end of this month my student card runs out!!!! An official statment of no longer being a student!
For all you guys starting uni or going back...I hate you!! lol Enjoy :)
