Posts like this give me the illusion of still being young, in reality if I think that during my first year of university almost no one had a smartphone, I understand that what remains are memories of a past that will never return even if I wanted to revive it. On the other hand, the present is as fascinating as a road construction site. So here we are, astride the bridge between memories and an uninviting future, and all that remains is to sit on a bench and let the time pass, which is not bad anyway. But now let’s see the dramas of the poor student.
#1. It’s not you who chooses what you’ll eat, but the discount offers.
#2. Your commuting classmates sponsor every coffee you get at university.
#3. You go to happy hours not to have fun but to gorge yourself at the buffet.
#4. The last time you bought clothes was in anticipation of the fifth-grade trip. That’s why you’ve been dressing in layers for the past four years, even in August.
#5. You’ve mortgaged the internal organs of yourself and your immediate family to pay for cigarettes during the weeks you’re broke (i.e., all of them).
#6. Your financial balance is more disastrous than Alitalia’s.
#7. To save on accommodation, go on holiday to your roommates’ country (even if it’s the same one you’re from).
#8. A good party is not one where you have fun, but one where you drink more alcohol than you brought.
#9. You don’t shun “junk food” because at least it’s food – other times you’ve had to settle for junk and that’s it.
#10. In addition to your dignity, you’ve also lost ten kilos since you started university.
#11. Money runs out on Wednesday.
#12. Since you don’t have money for paintings or posters, you decorated your room with elegant street signs.
#13. Those who have a salary say “I go to the ATM”, you say “I go home to my parents on the weekend”.
#14. When you go out with someone, always offer to pay the bill. Even if you ate a canteen stock and the other person a salad.
#15. Anguish: Realizing that you like your independence from home, and yet it’s okay to call a freedom supported by other people’s pockets “independence”?
#16. To forget the thought of point 15, invest your last euros in spirits. After all, it’s already Thursday.
