University: beer pong, 20-hour workweeks, and sweatpants.
Those were the days, right?
Now, waking up at 11 on a Tuesday seems like a distant dream. But for some YPs, they can’t seem to let their university days slip away so easily.
Here are 18 signs you miss your university days.
1. You still proudly sport your university t-shirt, sweatshirt and sweatpants.
And sometimes all at once.
2. You still consult “the guys” or “the girls” when making Saturday night plans.
Even when three quarters of them are married or live in another city.
3. You still can’t bring yourself to throw out that couch you got in second year.
Because, well, it just holds so many memories.
4. All it takes is one too many pints of beer (from the keg, of course) before you break into your frat or sorority songs.
And then another, and another.
5. Old School is your favourite movie
And you can somehow relate better to the characters now than you could when it first came out.
6. You live for Halloween and St. Patrick’s Day
And pretty much any other excuse to wear a costume (and coordinate it with your friends).
7. Your fridge and photo frames are full of group shots from frosh weeks past.
And have been since you moved out of res or the sorority and frat house.
8. You would prefer a house party to a wine bar any day.
And your first question is, “How many kegs will there be?”
9. You refuse to throw out any of your old assignments.
Hey, you’re still pretty proud of those “A” papers (especially the one you wrote in one night).
10. You’re considering moving back in with roommates.
Because it’s more fun than living alone, as you’ve just discovered.
11. The term ‘pre-drink’ is a staple in your vocabulary.
And you couldn’t imagine going out without one.
12. Speaking of pre-drink, one wouldn’t be complete without a game of Beer Pong.
After all, you play it more than you work out.
13. When someone suggests a day in the park…
Your first question is, “Who’s bringing the bong?”
14. You believe that Kraft Dinner is a totally acceptable dinner option.
And it’s made even better “gourmet,” complete with cut-up pieces of hot dog.
15. You follow your university teams more than you do the big league teams.
And will drive all the way there to see them play, painted face and all.
16. You’d never miss a homecoming weekend.
And remind your friends that they better not schedule any weddings or engagement parties that weekend… or you won’t be there.
17. Once a friend has a baby, they are blacklisted from parties.
They just wouldn’t get it anymore.
18. You’ve gained back the “Freshman 15.”
Wonder how that happened.
