The student years are a wonderful time, full of bright and surprising events. First love, big parties, the niceties of living in a bedroom. And then there is the eternal lack of money, sleepless nights with rehearsals, and nasty teachers.
We collected 6 delightful stories that prove that while the student years may not be the easiest, they are still an unforgettable moment in a person’s life.
#1. I was driving home in a crowded subway train, trying my best not to fall asleep in a standing position. Across from me sat a nice lady who was reading something. Finally, I fell asleep. The train stopped suddenly and I fell on a lady.
Of course, I immediately started to apologize, but people close to me started calling me an idiot. Finally, the old woman said, “Why are you scolding this boy? Can’t you see he’s a student? He’s probably hungry.”
Then she said, “Don’t listen to them. You didn’t do anything wrong.” With those words, she took a piece of candy out of her bag and handed it to me.
#2. There were times when, as a student, I would rent an apartment. I got myself a street cat, but I had no food for her because I had no money. When we ate dumplings, I gave her all the meat filling and ate the dough. Now she loves me so much!
#3. My uncle is a professor at a university. He asked me to order a pen, the ink of which disappears sometime after writing. Yesterday it arrived. Today my satisfied uncle came to visit us and boasted, “Do you remember I had a group of students that I didn’t like very much? Today I wrote the test results with this pen!” Poor students.
#4. I once forgot my bag at the last tram stop. When I found out, I was very disappointed that my money, keys, bills, and other things were in this bag. I filled out a claim form at headquarters and an old driver started asking me about the contents of my bag.
I mentioned everything, but he said, “I am not giving you the scholarship because you did not mention everything. What is most important to a student?” I started crying and he laughed, handing me back my bag with the word “Sandwiches!”
#5. Being a student means closing your eyes at the salon to prevent your hair from falling out … and eventually falling asleep.
#6. I graduated from university 2 years ago. While preparing my thesis work, I noticed that no one reads it COMPLETELY. Sometimes even a student doesn’t.
Here is a quote from an accepted and signed thesis: “A parameter was obtained to evaluate the effect of gravity and the length of mammoth wool at the outlet of an oil well.”
