15 Things Nobody Thinks To Tell You About Leaving University

Go to university, they said. Get a degree, they said. It’ll be “fun” when you leave it all behind, they…well, they forgot to warn us about some things.

You probably won't fall straight into a job.

You probably won't fall straight into a job.

Unfortunately, that's just how it is. Thousands of people have graduated at the same time as you, which means thousands of people are looking for the same jobs as you. You're pretty great, sure, but you're probably gonna have to be unemployed for a while first.

If you do, there's more chance of it being an internship because nobody will take you without experience.

If you do, there's more chance of it being an internship because nobody will take you without experience.

The circle of wanting to get hired for experience but needing experience to get hired is hell on Earth. A lot of people dream of leaving uni and walking straight into their ideal setup. Unfortunately, you've got a lot of working up to do – you're not going to be Anna Wintour two days after leaving third year.

Or you'll continue full-time at your part-time job.

Or you'll continue full-time at your part-time job.

Plenty of people leave university and end up going full-time at the place they worked while studying. It doesn't seem like such a bad idea at the time, and it's not. Just make sure you're not that person who lets their degree rot on the mantelpiece while they slave away in a retail stockroom.

The first job you land in may not be the job you initially wanted.

The first job you land in may not be the job you initially wanted.

Some people just fall on their feet after uni and it doesn't feel fair, but such is life. If you've got to go and pull pints and shift barrels for £7 an hour to get money, you get to working, sister. Ain't nobody got themselves out of a hole by wallowing in it.

Lyst has commissioned an illustrator to imagine what the cast of Fresh Prince would look like in 2015.

To celebrate the 25th birthday of Fresh Prince, Brooklyn based illustrator Leland Foster has imagined what the cast would look like in 2015, and the result is pretty cool.

To celebrate the 25th birthday of Fresh Prince, Brooklyn based illustrator Leland Foster has imagined what the cast would look like in 2015, and the result is pretty cool.

"The Fresh Prince of Bel Air was so stylish, and so of-its-time as a classic 90s show," said Foster. "The challenge was to make the Banks family relevant and recognisable, while keeping all the energy of these six very different personalities.”

First up, there's Ashley who looks way too cool for school.

51 Questions You Should Get Answers To Before A Second Date

$

0

This won’t work if you don’t let me have the window seat.

Michael Blann / Getty / BuzzFeed

1. What will your response be when you ask me which movie I want to watch and I say, "I don't mind, you choose"? Because if you're going to throw an "Oh no, you can choose" back in my face, we could be here all day and I'm just not prepared for that kind of relationship.

2. Have you ever burped in the middle of making out? I will accept a lot. But this? You're asking too much.

3. What is your stance on farting in front of your partner? There really is only so long I can hold it in.

4. How much of the bed are you willing to sacrifice? A 50-50 split just won't do. I get at least 70% or we're done here.

5. This should be a no-brainer, but what are your thoughts on dogs and, in particular, puppies? Believe it or not, there are actually some people that aren't on board with cute pups. If this is the case, best to weed that out ASAP.

6. Have you ever finished the milk and put the empty bottle back in the fridge? Satan could not even contend with you.

7. Have you ever told somebody you're five minutes away when you haven't even showered yet? This is cool, just don't do it to me.

8. If we ever go on holiday together, will you let me have the window seat on the plane? I don't want to, but I will fight you if it comes to it.

9. Do you have One Direction posters in your bedroom? Acceptable on no scale.

10. Do you have Star Wars or Barbie bed sheets? I can't sleep with Darth Vader on top of me.

11. Do you wear odd socks every day? I'm sorry, that's too thug life for me.

12. How clean is your bathroom? I would rather not have to tiptoe around stray pubes whenever I want to use the toilet.

13. Does your birthday fall on any major holidays? My salary does not allow for buying birthday and Christmas presents in the same time period.

14. Who is your most listened to artist on iTunes? I'm not one to judge but that's a whole lot of Britney I'm seeing.

15. What's your stance on Crocs? This is important and should probably have been asked first.

16. While we're talking about footwear, how do you feel about socks and sandals? There's kind of only one answer to this, but it's best to check and be on the safe side.

17. Is your email address still "lil_mizz_pink" or "rude_bwoii_93"? We can just end things here if so.

18. How are you at playing guitar? It would be nice to be serenaded sometimes, you know?

19. Do you still have a BlackBerry? Seriously, let it go.

20. What's your go-to shower song and will you take requests? Some mornings, I just want somebody to sing pretty things to me.

21. Have you ever left a damp towel on the bathroom floor? There's a place reserved in the darkest pits of hell for people like you.

22. Will you order a salad if we eat out? Please don't bring shame upon my table like that.

23. Have you ever complained to a waiter that there was a hair in your food to get a discount on the bill even though there wasn't even a hair in your food? You can pull this shit when we're married and I have no choice but to accept it. But if you do it on a date, you may as well crack out a 2-for-1 voucher and agree to never see me again.

24. What does your recently used emojis page look like? Is that…eggplant…and peach…tut.

25. Do you have a creepy roommate I should be made aware of? I don't want to be sneaking to the bathroom in the dead of night to find him creeping about outside the bedroom door.

26. On a scale of 1-10, how much will you judge me if, hypothetically, I could eat an entire packet of Oreos in less than 90 seconds? I said ~hypothetically~ bc this would never happen, obviously.

27. How clingy are you going to get three dates from now? Will I need to physically pry you off me?

28. If we commit to a TV programme together, will you ever watch it without me? There is one word that perfectly describes doing this: cheating.

29. How many episode of Friends can you watch in one sitting? If we can't watch at least half of one season, maybe we should just cut our ties here.

30. If I was ill, what flavour soup would you cook me? To be clear, none is not an option and chicken is of course correct.

31. If there were one red Fruit Pastille left in a packet, what would you do with it? If your answer isn't offering it to me, you can find your own way to the door.

32. What level have you reached on Candy Crush? If it's higher than me, it will cause some serious tension.

33. Have you ever sent a Facebook game request on purpose? I'm all down if you want to play Farmville, but don't rope other people into your shameless life.

34. What's your favourite Disney movie? The correct answer begins with "H" and ends with "ercules".

35. Can you name all five members of the Spice Girls? I won't ask who your favourite is because that will cause too many arguments.

36. OK no, who's your favourite Spice Girl? Need-to-know information.

37. Do you know all the lyrics to "Black Magic" yet? I can teach you if you need lessons.

38. Which Hogwarts house do you belong to? I can't date a Hufflepuff, I'm sorry.

39. Do you stop to speak to sales reps in the street? Or do you awkwardly pretend to look anywhere else, like me?

40. Have you ever checked into a first class lounge just so people know you're a pretty big deal? It only cost £15 more than standard, don't get too excited.

41. What are your thoughts on me using one of your hoodies from time to time? And by time to time, I obviously mean taking the hoodie home with me and adopting it as my own.

42. Have you ever embarrassed a former partner by getting the dance moves to the Macarena wrong? This should've been learned at birth. How are you getting this wrong?

43. Have you ever argued with a stranger in a celebrity's Instagram comments? You keep doing you, but do it away from me.

44. How many psychotic exes do I have to worry about? Do I need to lock my door and reinforce my windows?

45. Have you ever watched Titanic and not cried? Only someone without a heart would never have cried and I'm just not sure I can commit knowing this information beforehand.

46. Do you know all the words to the following: Dirty Dancing, Grease, High School Musical? That means all three High School Musicals btw. We have a lot of ground to cover and I will need your 100% dedication to the task at hand.

47. Have you ever camped outside the Apple store for the new iPhone? I'm all about camping, but not this kind.

48. Have you ever fallen asleep in the cinema and snored so loudly you got kicked out? We did not give up a mortgage to pay for a ticket for you to get us thrown out with your feral noises.

49. Have you ever been for a cheeky Nando's? If you have a Black Card then this is OK.

50. Would you write cute messages on the mirror after you've had a shower? If you wouldn't then maybe you should start. It's fun, honest!

51. Wait, are we actually going on a second date? It's best not to assume these things, so just checking.

It’s all fun and games until you accidentally fart in somebody’s face.

1. "I nearly drowned at a foam party."
Sarah Hay, Facebook

Sian Butcher / BuzzFeed

2. "I was leaving a party in an elevator when I turned to my flatmate and jokingly said how much I hate it when people jump in an elevator. The other five moronic guys that were with us then proceeded to jump all at once. The elevator then got stuck. We were in there for over an hour and a guy farted at one point. It got so hot that the guys started playing tic tac toe with the steam that fogged up the walls. This all caused me to have a massive panic attack in a stairwell in front of tons of drunk students. One of the worst nights I've ever had."
