Student Solutions

It is safe to say that I have been neglecting this blog again; this is the first one I have written in about 4 months. The last blog I wrote, in May, contemplating the starting of a swimming legacy might have suggested that I had some determination for this venture. However that was the last time I went swimming so it seems I wasn’t as determined as I thought I was.
Reading back through my blogs has made it apparent that my ability to maintain interest in my impulsive ideas is a battle not worth fighting. So I have been contemplating a new theme for my blogs over the past week or two. Instead of occasionally ranting about something random that springs into my mind, I have decided that I shall be generous and impart some of my wisdom onto you. It may make your life slightly easier, or dramatically easier, I haven’t decided yet.
Anyway getting to the point, as I have now officially become a university student I have also been burdened with the responsibilities and hardships that come with it. Of course you may also be suffering the same day to day difficulties as I am such as, ‘ how long after the use by date is too long after the use by date’ or ‘how can I easily cover up damage to my residence to avoid losing my deposit’. Over the next three years I shall answer these questions and hopefully many more to make student life easier and more fun.
As this is the first blog on this theme I may as well address the majority of students primary concern, “How am I going to afford to get pissed as regularly as I require”(That’s right I’m tackling some heavy subjects from the offset). The answer to this relies heavily on whether or not you’re a prick. If you are and you struggle to get on with your flat/house mates I’m afraid you may never be able to meet your needs. Basically it is cheaper to buy in bulk and it’s even cheaper if you share the cost. Instead of buying for yourself on the night you plan to get drunk, what you and your housemates need to do is agree on an equal amount your all willing to spend on booze then once a week all chip in for as much as your budget allows. Unless your doing it wrong it should work out cheaper than buying your booze on the night regardless of how much you drink.
Next time I’ll be discussing the Korean housemates do’s and don’ts.
