As the end of term looms, now is a really great time to get all nostalgic and look back at your university experience…
The ups, the downs, the highs, the lows, the successes, the failures, the friendships and every drunken mistake you made in between.
So to make you all wistful and emotional, here are 35 signs that you had the best university experience ever.
1. You made friends for life.
2. Friendships so important that you can’t remember a time when you weren’t friends.
3. Friends who have seen you blind drunk, crying on the pavement outside a club beside a pool of your own vomit.
4. You spent half your student loan in Freshers week.
