I did the exact same thing, i spent £40 on booze that night which was amazing seeing as the drinks were only like £2-3 a pop. By all accounts I was something of a legend that night, so I have mixed feelings but the money loss and the hangover were enough of a deterrent. I think I'll do it infrequently and make sure I have a fucking good time when I do.ScatterBen said:Christ I am identical. In fact, they're all out now because, at LSE, Wednesday is a free day (though I have an hour lecture at 12). If I had a free day I'd not want to spend it hungover for fucks sake.
I also went out the first night, got wasted and had a good time. But I spent way too much. Since then I went out a couple of times with the people I'd met but hated it because I didn't want to be hungover (pussy, I know) and didn't drink.
I've added 3, I think. but I have like 9 or 10 numbers so its not too bad. I think i'll let things settle before I start palling up to people too much, but, like I said, i can easily imagine being good friends with a few of the people i've met.ScatterBen said:In response to your other post, I too have met some people I could potentially call "friend" and I too can't bring myself to really do so and just show up at peoples doors. Shit, only one person knows where my room is, and I only just added anyone on Facebook, which is pretty embarrassing, even for me. I'm not exactly a social recluse, I'm just pretty anti-social and enjoy my own space.
One of the people I met, the one I went to the pub with, also likes arrested development. He's the only other person i've met who's even heard of it! Its a good friend sign. It's possibly my favourite show ever.ScatterBen said:Edit: Also, Arrested Development = the funniest show ever made.
I'm buying New vegas but will probably buy that too. there are a few people I've met who don't love freshers events. Too each his own, you know? I like pubs, they like clubs. Why not let everyone do what they want to do instead of forcing them into dank, noisy holes?Limie said:My money's going on textbooks and Fable 3 (don't judge me harshly) so no boxsets and it's good to see that someone else doesn't particularly think freshers events are the be all and end all of your first week at uni. I'm not saying they are bad they are just not my sorta thing.
