7 Things You Realise When You Move Back to Lancaster After Christmas

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Lancaster chapter.

1. It’s seriously cold here.

Even if you come from the North… It’s like Lancaster has its own special (read: wet) microclimate.

2. Your mum’s Christmas dinner might actually be better than Mognies.

But what if Mognies started selling pigs in blankets…

3. Despite Storm Desmond delaying your deadlines, you still left it too late before you started.

Some people lost their houses, I lost any chance of getting a good grade this year.

4. You don’t have space in your uni house to store all the Christmas presents you brought back with you.

Let’s face it, you’re not actually going to use that bike when it rains every day.

5. You’re going to have to shed that Christmas weight, and having 3 Costas on campus doesn’t help.

“Hello, funeral directors? Yeah, I’m going to need an XL”

6. Nor are the 3 Costas going to help your bank balance.

But you get a free small latte for every £50 you spend… it’s so worth it! Right?

7. You were really excited to see Sugar after its big re-vamp thanks to Stormy D, but the next morning you were far to drunk to remember…

Let’s just say I didn’t even realise it was blue until I started living near it in third year and walked past when I was sober…

8. Despite its flaws you missed this cold, wet, Northern town.

We love you, Lancs.
