12 Small Victories All Queen's University Belfast Students Dream About

10. Swiping Your Student Card In The McClay Without Stopping

Nothing feels better. Entering the library is an admission of one of two things: either you're about to do some actual work, or you're about to spend a minimum of an hour pretending to do some actual work. Either way, you're stuck in the library for a while. Might as well make the most of it before entering and perform an action so slick its practically magic.

As you walk towards the library turnstiles you whip out your student card, place it down on the scanner and keep walking. If all goes to plan, you're the coolest person in the world for the splittest of seconds. If not, you've just walked hard into a solid, unmoving barrier and everyone thinks you're an idiot €“ so don't mess up!
