20 Things Only Durham University Students Will Understand

16. Your Diet In First Year Is 70% Potato

You thought uni was going to be the start of a new leaf. You were going to hit the gym five times a week. You were going to eat healthy food and cut down on all the snacking. Unfortunately, you didn't prepare for catered accommodation. Two meals a day - consisting mainly of delicious calorie globs - is not ideal. Second year will be better, as long as you ignore the fact you're going to be living right next to Patrick's Pizza.

15. Going To Tesco Dressed Like A Slob Is More Than Accepted

Speaking of second year (or if you're a fresher at Butler, where they actually have to COOK their own food) you'll be making quite a few trips to Tesco. The big one in Market Square, not the little one on North Road - it's too expensive and the staff aren't as friendly. Tesco chic never changes; this season's range is the same as the last. Baggy gap year pants, school leavers' hoodies, unwashed hair piled up on top of your head. Anything goes - you're a student.
