I hate students.
It's freshers (first year university students) week here in rainy Aberdeen and the streets are paved with intoxicated teens. For some reason, the only thing freshers week does is cause debt, alcohol poisoning and, in some cases, pregnancy (it happened last year. seriously.) Hoards of giggling kids running from one pub to another, led by equally boistrous, obnoxious, neon T-shirt wearing guides. Not getting out of my way when I'm trying to get home from work at night and accusing me of being one of them.
The pubs and clubs are no better. The whole ordeal is sponsored by "Aberdeen's superclub", and there is a new way to poison your liver every night at the Union.

Aaanyway... Why can't universities do something more productive with freshers week? Sure, drinking must be a new and exciting thing for the tiddlers, good way to socialise blah blah blah... But why not just tone it down a little?
I'm back at uni next week. If this fresh batch of first years are as anti-social and glare-y as last year's, then god help us.
schuldig:
Eh they think that it's the whole "university experience": which is to get drunk beyond compare and end up in the hospital. Very social isn't it? 
stenno:
I do miss being able to go out on just a tenner though!
