Lauren Tabbron writes about the difficulties of spending Christmas away from a loved one.
Chances are you’ll have missed some gossip this freshers’ week. You may have been put to bed early after vomiting repeatedly in your bedroom sink mid pre-lash. You may have been to hungover to make it to the kitchen the next morning for a ‘morning after catch-up’. You may have lost so many brain cells already you’re incapable of remembering what on earth happened (redbull as a mixer predisposes some of us to this particular issue). Or you may have been hiding from lunatics who like to dress up in neon tutus and thus not been privy to a night’s highlights. So here’s a rundown of some of the tantalizing gossip that will no doubt happen at some point this week.
1) Two flatmates will have hooked up.
Given that the initial socializing will be with people on your floor or in your flat, some will find the golden rule of ‘don’t get with someone you live with’ incomprehensible. This could lead to 2 outcomes: either the event will never be mentioned again (one of them will probably claim not to even remember it) or they’ll keep at it. This brings me to the second piece of gossip.
2) A flatmate will have already found a girlfriend/boyfriend.
Sounds implausible, doesn’t it? But I’ll bet at some point this week someone will make this announcement. And I thought the days of girls going to uni to find a husband were long gone…
3) Someone will have cheated on their long-distance boyfriend/girlfriend.
Yes, people may set off to uni with the best of intentions, but not all will keep to them. Expect to return to halls one night this week with a sobbing girl claiming ‘it’s just that I miss him so much!’ Quite.
