15 Things That Always Mess Up Your Hopes Of A Golden Week

15 Things That Always Mess Up Your Hopes Of A Golden Week

Ah, the golden week.

It's an aspect of college that is rarely brought to fruition. With so many other activities taking up your life, a golden week is the last thing you will actually prioritise in college. Some of you may have even heard of black weeks, a week where you don't attend a single lecture or seminar – now that's commitment.

With that, here are all those tricky priorities that mess up your hopes of having a golden week.

1. Box sets

This may seem like an obvious one. Box sets are the destroying force behind golden weeks, they will become your life.

3. Hangovers

As a result of these 'fuck it' moments, a chicken fillet roll and staying in bed is more appealing then falling asleep in that lecture.

'Aw no, I can't go in now it's not on the hour. I'll  have to wait for the break....Oh shit, I missed the break, better look next week'.

5. Events on campus

Whether it's petting puppies or a magician, as long as it's free it's more important than lectures.

6. 9am lectures

They shouldn't be a thing as they're the reason that class is always empty.

13. Actually being a good student and doing assignments

Basically, because they're due in tomorrow and you're fecked.

14. MarioKart 24/7 World Championship

I don't know if this is a general thing but one of the lads in the office told me how they had a Mario Kart 24/7 World Championship Belt, which meant that if someone challenged you as champion you had 40 minutes to get home to defend your title or else you were stripped of it. Intense.

15. Finally...Skipping lectures every second day

Because you don't want to burn out.
