Both being one and seeing one.

Well you know what I'm going to say.

If any of you say dud I'm taking it personally and crying and hating you forever.

being one = classic

otherwise = dud

For various reasons I am exposed to this as a mass phenomena regularly. As a snooty post-adolescent, hated it (how uncool to conform to those tedious stereotypes; so much better to be contrary, sober and miserable (oops)). Mid-twenties resented the obnoxiousness. Now find it rather lovely and touching that each generation reinvents it anew; I am old and nostalgic for someone else's past. Sigh.

Fuck non conforming if conforming is fun.

What a principled stand.

Being one = Fairly dud, as it ususally means hanging out with other drunk first years in horrible student bars.

Seeing one = Dud (See above), although Sara looks prettier when she's drunk.

I concur with ellie. Hated it at the time. Didn't have much to do with it. I mean I got drunk sometimes, but not in the way implied by the phrase 'drunken first year'. I spent most of my time at university consumed by hatred of student behaviour / self-loathing. Now I say good luck to them.

Christ the only way to tolerate half the people there is to get hammered drunk. Is there any other way to form relationships?

― Ronan, Monday, 29 October 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I am looking forward to at least giving it a try

Theres nothing better really.

12 hours a week can't be argued with. It'd be wrong not to use some of that free time for socialising.

― Ronan, Monday, 29 October 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I R drunk first year right now (Note that my judgement is impaired it enough to use that fucking stupid fatnick phrase).

Sara made "Welsh drinks", basically one part orange Fanta, one par tcheap vodka, poured at the same time. 2 cups and I'm anyone's.

― Graham, Monday, 29 October 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Anyway, what do you want to know?

― Graham, Monday, 29 October 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

being one- thats pretty bad, but at least you can have exciting adventures. I can still do that anyway. Seeing them is just obnoxious unless I get to play with their minds.

drunken first-years are funny and cute in the same way that babies who throw up all over their mothers are funny and cute.
i never drank in my first year but then i was already an old fart.

― hamish, Tuesday, 30 October 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I am sure you drank in your first year, didn't you? was your first year 2000? Babies aren't cute when they vomit everywhere you sicko

― Menelaus Darcy, Tuesday, 30 October 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Neither are first years. My first year was 1999. i was not drunk.
