Ten Signs Your Parents Have Zero Idea What Goes On At Uni

We all know that University is sort of a different world to the quiet and humble hometown antics of your parents. They just don’t understand…

 

 

1. “What do you mean I woke you up? 

(It’s midday on a Wednesday)

 

 

 

2. “You knew I was coming, you could have tidied up” 

(You’ve spent all morning tidying up, In fact it’s the cleanest your house has EVER been)

 

 

3. “Did you catch that show about *something vaguely to do with your subject* on BBC2 on Friday night?”

 

 

4. You have received any of the following for Xmas: A casserole dish, a pack of erasers, a cookbook containing the word turmeric.

 

 

5. “Keep your eye on your drink, someone might spike it” 

(They’d struggle to get anywhere near the drink in your hand during the ten second window between you buying and finishing it)

 

 

6. “Well you and your friends must be sick of the *Iconic Devon tourist attraction that’s literally 15 minutes from front door that you’ve never been to*”

(Um…)

 

 

 

7. “I don’t want to see you doing the neck and nominate, you’ll make yourself ill” 

(You consume at least a third of your drinks this way. You do in fact get ill, but after ten, not one)

 

 

 

8. “Have you met your future wife/husband yet?” 

(Yeah Mum, more proposals than you can shake a stick at)

 

 

 

9. “You’ve finished classes today have you?” – 

(First repeat after me- LECTURES. Second, you haven’t had ‘class’ since Tuesday, and you haven’t actually been since last Friday)

 

 

 

10. “Happy birthday! are you going to the pub for a few drinks?” 

(Yes Mum, a few dozen and probably one from a shoe)
