It's not as bad as you might think. It's worse. They seem to regard any time not spent looking for a job (eating, sleeping, wanking, ect.) to be a criminal offense and they treat you like they're ashamed to be seen with you. Though my 'advisor' is rather personable.
Went on this CPD Training course thinking it's gonna be the worst thing on earth, powerpoints galore, when infact I spent 5 hours playing with LEGO EV3 Mindstorms for STEM. Sure as heck makes up for all the crappy days I've had so far.

There are some, just all in the north and naturally water cooled
Fuck, caught my cold again.
[QUOTE=DiscoInferno;51116793]Was fucking panic stations a few moments ago, when I thought I'd lost my full birth certificate. But I found it in the huge pile of to-sort bumf tucked away in what I used last time for proof of address. Was in exile of this thread until I could prove I was born here.
But anyway, now I can get back to Amazon.

[QUOTE=UberMunchkin;51123495]you lot don't know pure horror until you're trying to rush noodles whilst the lads in your flat whilst they try play some sorta beer pong with your pot of noodles as the target[/QUOTE]
I've nearly lost many a mug of tea at work thanks to some tea hating heathens using it as target practice.
Thankfully their aim is shit and so is their coffee 90% of the time.
My flat has actually been cooking and washing up. I hope this lasts at least for a bit.
fuck i lost my bearded dragon
I can't find him anywhere
I've looked for like two hours, My dad's going to go fucking nuclear when he comes back so that'll be fun.

This has happened to me a few times, don't panic just yet, they usually just chill somewhere hard to spot.

You sure he didn't just shave for disguise?
[editline]28th September 2016[/editline]
Good luck finding him though, I'm sure he'll probably return to you

Yeah check all your warm spots in the house, like radiator cabinets and the like.
Managed to lose my friends in a club oops. Sure it'll be fine because they're still here just managing to panic a tiny bit so figured I'd say something here if I die tell my family I love then :v:

Love you too! :weeb:
(Seriously tho you'll be fine, just message "hey where are you?" to the socially awkward one that is checking their phone more than somebody that's having real fun would be)

Yeah no they're home and forgot to mention it. Not like I waited for one of them on another night because they were too drunk to get in a taxi. I'm kinda pissed off.

That's legit a dick move on their part.
Sorta relevant:
Is it just me that feels like the people at uni with are perfectly comfortable with me being around them (not like one flatmate that they just outright don't like) but would also be perfectly happy if I just wasn't there and don't really make any effort to engage or interact with me at all?
It's kinda getting me down.
I found people it's fine (ish)

this is why I pre-emptively reject all social interaction, can't get disappointed by friends if you don't have any

Getting ditched by friends at least means they exist and were there. It's freshers and it wasn't deliberate, so it's not like I wish I'd never met them.

oh yeah I forgot about this
I found him a hour later hugging a radiator in the guest bedroom. I have no clue how he got in there.

wow that's not a good way to really go about shit in all honesty
oh lads I feel awful
if I hadn't gone for a double hash brown with my maccies breakfast I would be in dire need of a cuddle and a cup of tea right now
Proof we need to conquer the world again: when you search youtube for "roast" you get a bunch of ninnies insulting each other rather than how to make a scrumpcious dinner.

Try signing up to a club or 2.
I was lucky with my flatmates but a gf I had at uni didn't get on with her flat so her mates came from the international society, another friend of mine at a different uni met his gf through fencing club.
Don't let it lower your opinion of yourself whatever you do.
Also some generic canned advice:
Prioritise course mates over flat mates, you're with your course for the duration, you're with your flat for a year. I didn't follow this advice but if your flat mates are shitty then course mates is is a double plus good choice.
Within my group of friends, most of us have known each other from primary school, we're incredibly close, [B]until,[/B] it's time to get a taxi home on a night out.
That shit turns into the most backstabbing, game of thronesesque situation in which everyone promises to get a taxi with someone but bails to the nearest one possible even if it means leaving people behind.
That Fish I mentioned? Yeah, I Undercooked it (Or it had gone off, it's a 50/50 chance in my house!) so I have been throwing up for the last couple of days. Fun. And I was too sick to make my doctors appointment so I have nearly run out of tablets.
The £1 tesco cookies are like the best ones I've ever had, shame I probably will never have them again :saddowns:
