I wrote this ages ago, but I never got around to posting it.. So here goes! Enjoy!
***
Move in with people you don’t really know. Because it might be hard to stay friends with someone once you move in with them, but it’s inevitable that you befriend the people you live with.
Pay your bills on time, and move out before your lease runs out.
Establish lines very early on. If you don’t like sharing, it should be known from the start.
Thin walls and thin floors make for funny stories.
Being drunk in public is never as fun as being drunk in your own place.
Midnight talks are reserved for those stories which involve the opposite sex. And the absence of at least a shirt. Oh yeah, you know what stories I’m talking about.
If you can’t drive, don’t be a bitch to the people who can. Seriously.
Roadtrips should be short and sweet, and the routes never repeated.
Know when to walk away, and when you should open your mouth and call someone out on their own bullshit. Pick your friends carefully.
Painting a room is always fun. DIY brings people closer together.
Don’t get stuck in one ‘circle of friends’, jump around and meet as many people as possible. You won’t feel obliged to be nice to everyone that way, and you’ll have this awesome group of friends you can’t wait to introduce to one another.
You don’t need to be friends with someone from the beginning, and you don’t have to know every single detail of someone’s live to adore them, and think of them as your best friends.
Good friends tell you things will be alright. Awesome friends tell you that you’ve been a complete idiot, and things are shitty because it’s your own fault. So get off your fat ass and do something about it.
Leave when you need to. Come back when you’re ready. People will understand.
You don’t need to spend three days on an assignment as long as what you’re writing is structured, and gets to the point straight away. (I rarely meet the target amount of words. Mine are always missing 500 or so words. And the only time I got a B was when my Granddad died.)
Pick a subject to be sucky in, and then excel on the others.
Noodles are delicious. Especially when eaten with eggs, cheese and corned beef. But eating it every meal time for a week will get you sick.
Midnight runs for food should be appreciated. You will never have as much fun, eating out at ungodly hours as when you’re in uni.
IKEA is a bad place to eat “cookies”.
Good boyfriends make awesome exes. Shitty boyfriends should be drowned at sea.
Sugar highs are really as bad as getting drunk.
Food always tastes better when you’re fighting over it.

When I turned 72 last april I had half as much wisdom at my disposal as you wrote down at that tender age.
Some I have to learn by heart:
A awesome collection.
"Shitty boyfriends ( well, girlfriends in my case) should be drowned at sea". Here you reveal the real cause of pollution of the oceans.
With this one I don't agree though:
"Being drunk in public is never as fun as being drunk in your own place"; being drunk in public sometimes is very funny to bystanders and helps to create great myths.
Yes, I did enjoy!!
