14 Signs A Student Knows Summer Is Coming

14) Complaints about sun burn

Everyday there's a new area sunburnt. That's what the sun cream's for, our Irish skin can't handle the heat.

13) The gym becoming packed again

Every New Year's and Summer time, the gym becomes a very ominous place, as everyone wants to go on every machine. Gyms are just not equipped well enough to handle the hoards of people dying for a summer body right now.

12) Leaving Cert weather

And all your younger friends complaining about how their stuck inside studying on Facebook, while you sit back and remember that was you last year. But now you're a big college student who finished mid April and can actually enjoy this weather.

11) The Smell of sun cream

Following you everywhere. Is that you? Is that ME? Why can't I smell anything else?!

10) New wardrobe

No more black tights or cosy jumpers. Until we realize we still live in Ireland. And we look absolutely ridiculous.

9) 'Can lectures be outside today?'

The question every lecturer dreads hearing and every classmate has heard at least once before that morning. But yet, no matter how many times we ask, our prayers are never answered.

8) THAT Summer song

Avicci last year, I Follow Rivers the year before, whatever it will be this year, there's no doubt it'll be overplayed and sung by everybody until you can't stand it anymore, until you hear it next year and it becomes 'memories'

7) Boy shorts

All. The. Time. Not that I'm complaining, but lads, it rains half the time, and it's cold. The second it becomes Spring the legs come out and don't disappear again until mid-October

6) Farmers tan

Speaking of pasty Irish legs, the pasty shoulders come out, in all their luminous glory. Not hot and never will be. Sort it out!

5) Penney's bikinis

All the colour in none of your sizes! The cheapest and by far the coolest bikinis on the market. And when you go on holidays, it's a good signal to other Irish buddies. Its like our national flag! Instant friends with a Pennys bikini.

4) Constant sniffles

If not by you, then by other classmates who suffer from the awful hay fever. No matter how sunny it is, the urge to stay in bed and wallow in your self pity over how sick you are is sometimes just too strong.

3)Assignment deadlines piling up

...and absolutely no motivation to do any of it because it's 'too sunny outside'

2) Spanish students coming over

..and stealing ALL the good spaces in the park for picnics

1)Bikini diets

The endless conversations about various diets and how hungry everyone is, 5:2, Atkins, Juice, Starvation/Binge. And the looks you get when you tuck into McDonalds or a packet of cookies.

Amen..
