Your student check list:
Student life requires many things, especially itinerary. No-one can live without the essentials, but lets not mistake everyday essentials with student essentials and the purpose is also something quite different and far more extensive. We walk you through what to take to uni.
Books
Of course books are an essential for university With all that studying you’ll be doing, I’m sorry excuse me… thinking about doing, and then watching an entire series of peep show in one sitting, you will need the correct materials in order to succeed in your academic studies. However, books have many other purposes especially those that you got as far as reading the contents. For example, a large organised pile of books upon a shelf convinces your parents that “yes mother and father as you can see I have organised myself in a manner in which further excels my learning capabilities” leaving your parents with the satisfaction that maybe that degree in the History of Art was a good investment and leaving you with the ability to stray your parents off-the-scent of the nights of severe debauchery.
Food & Drink
Now everyone needs nourishment. It doesn’t take a medical student to tell you that however unless you have fallen under certain fortunes, I very much doubt you will be eating poached salmon with asparagus for dinner every night.
Therefore, frozen pizzas may become a new addition to your life, they’re cheap, quick and if you look hard enough, you may just find one that has less flavour than the cardboard box it came in. Drink is also an essential, I would recommend a bottle of double concentrate squash, it takes up little room, and hey that beer and vodka isn’t going to pay for itself.
A Hobby
Whether its a normal day-to-day activity such as football, rugby or playing guitar or whether you like to fill your free time with the downright bizarre such as naked skydiving, a hobby is always an effective way to justify procrastination.
Of course, there’s more orthodox hobbies such as going out for a jog or enhancing your cooking skills but then there are new activities, such as the new weird and wonderful sports that you always wanted to pick up like American football and rock climbing, However, let’s not forget those who are a tad on the lazy side or, as I like to call it “athletically challenged”. For those of you who’s weekly exercise may entail popping to the local off-licence for your £3 bottle of wine and 20 Marlboro lights, there’s activities such as getting into new music or musical instruments. You may not do as well in that essay that’s due in next week but you can now smash out a damn good version of the Rocky theme-tune on the keyboard.
HDMI Cable
As unusual as this may sound, an HDMI cable really is a life saver. With the slow decay of DVD and other legitimate sources of entertainment, you will no doubt discover (if not already discovered) the huge benefits of streaming and downloading television programmes and films. An HDMI cable means that when you spend 12 hours a day watching the ‘Sopranos’ or ‘Game of Thrones’, you will now be able to watch it on a larger screen. I have also found through my experiences that there is a smug sense of self-satisfaction when wasting away in front of a big screen in your own filth rather than a little screen in your own filth. What to take to uni? A wash cloth and a bucket.
There is also another quite interesting feature that allows you to watch your favourite shows on one screen whilst spending 4hrs writing two lines of your essay on the other. Alternatively, you can do some social networking and talk about Game of Thrones whilst watching Game of Thrones!!!!! The results are truly magical.
Unpacked Packs
Save some time and money and get one, because its 2015 and the high street is overpriced.
