<\/p>\nThey say that friends are the family you choose for yourself. At university however, the likelihood is that your friends are the ones you\u2019ve been forced into communal living with. Whether you met them in halls, the lecture rooms or in ‘Spoons toilets, your uni mates are basically mates fo’ life…<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
1. They\u2019ve seen 50 shades of all of you<\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a0The good, the bad and the ugly, your uni pals have seen you post break ups, suffering from nervy b\u2019s when deadlines are looming and with your head in a toilet. For better or worse, they\u2019ve always been there to pick you straight back up, those little angels.<\/p>\n 2. They\u2019re always thinking about you<\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a0Whether they\u2019re encouraging you to sin and drink instead of study, or they bring you a cuppa in the morning, your mates will always want you to be a part of the adventure.<\/p>\n 3. Communal living = character building<\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a0It\u2019s pretty difficult not to be mates with someone forever when you\u2019ve both experienced the same house share. Whether you\u2019re on the phone to an energy company for a week, or you\u2019ve survived a nightmare house mate together, you\u2019ll look back on those times and laugh about the ridiculousness. Promise.<\/p>\n 4. They\u2019ve supported you through the break ups<\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a0Mainly with tequila shots. But you know, that\u2019s the best kind of medicine to cure the break up blues. Who\u2019s round is it next?<\/p>\n 5. You\u2019ve watched each other grow<\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a0Even as graduation looms for everyone, those three years spent together equate to three years of love, laughter and watching your favourites fulfil their dreams. Even if everyone\u2019s dreams take them to all corners of the world, you guys will always be tight.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" They say that friends are the family you choose for yourself.
