For most of us, we go through uni during our early 20’s with minimal bills to pay, paychecks from Centrelink, countless hours to waste and a whole bunch of friends to mess around with…
Why wouldn’t we take advantage of that?
Uni should be a time of fun, experimenting, exploring, enjoying, and outright wildness. In my opinion, anyway.
Of course, we have to get through it without failing, otherwise, what’s the point, right?
But as they say:
“P’s get degrees”
So here’s a list of some of the things I have tried, and can’t wait to try during my uni journey!
