Should people be allowed to take advantage of the system like this?....

[the full harris]

I'm a second year undergraduate. I have done absolutely NO work for about 2 weeks now, neither degree or paid. My bank account is in a better condition than it was yesterday, not because I have earnt it but because Dad gave it to me for free cos I am a student. I only have 5 hours lectures a week and I'm not going to today's. No, today I will just sit on my arse playing playstation until I play in the 5 a side league later. Last night the club I was in was selling TRIPLE vodka red bulls for £1.20, ONE POUND and TWENTY PENCE!! On Saturday I'm going on holiday to Prague with the girlie (a holiday from WHAT??)because we have what is known as a 'reading week' which is a bit like half term. I'm such a lazy wanker, I don't pay tax when I do actualy undertake part time work and I intend to continue in this vain for the next 2 years because the course I am on is not particularly challenging and I reckon I can coast it for most of the year doing the bare minimum reading.

I do not feel guilty whatsoever.

Should this be allowed or should I be forced to live like the rest of the country?

BURN HIM

 

[Bluejuice]

I did exactly the same when I was a student, and I certainly wasn't alone.

3 years later I had to declare myself bankrupt

 

[Uncle Buck]

So you will graduate and become a journo, great.....

 

[beorhthelm]

ah, those happy, happy Uni days, how i miss them.

 

[Tommy Cook reporting]

Anyone got the shop a tax dodger hotline number?

Everyone has the option to be a student. I've had my time, good luck to ya. Personally I'd rather be at work earning the bucks and have a bit of money in my pocket.

 

[Pavilionaire]

Enjoy it while it lasts, cos when you leave and have to get a job it will be time to join the real world.

I had a similar time as you as a student, but not quite as lazy.

The thing to remember is that you're there to get a degree / diploma, so it doesn't matter what you do or how you pass just as long as you pass. A drop-out or shit degree looks bollocks on your CV a couple of years down the line.

You're a perfect example of why I despise students.

And in two years time I might let you stack shelves in our wharehouse...

 

[CHAPPERS]

Of course you should be allowed to live like that why not?

aw, thanks! Surely I start off as 'shelf stacking deputy vice team leader' or something, what with me being a graduate and all?

Not necessarily. The only person I know who spent all 4 years at university in the college bar, and then failed his degree completely, is now a partner in a top accounting firm...

i wish i was a uni student too thick

 

[mejonaNO12 aka riskit]

im a student now. todays tough decision is when to turn off pro evo 5(or pause it) and go and cook my bacon and sausage toastie.

 

[Faldo]

I'm all for it - as someone said, everyone has the option, and its a helluva lifestyle...

Couldnt do it now though - Ive become accustomed to getting along with my bank manager, and not paying for things by cheque.

 

[fatboy]

I did it too and now I get a £2000 overdraft for another 3 years!

 

[fatboy]

But I think Ive got herpes.

 

[eastlondonseagull]

We had grants back in my uni days, so accommodation and course fees were paid. Therefore any money you had was automatically spending money.

I did develop a habit for buying records, hifi and other tat though, and now have £21,000 of debt

Ah, sod it and go for it FH, it's a once in a lifetime opportunity, just make sure you get a 2:1

If you can type and read the Sun then you can get a uni place somewhere.
