You remember when it was 2 for £5, but times change and inflation ruins everything. This wine may be cheap and may taste like petrol but it’s how a true Fallowfield night both begins and ends. These are some of the signs you go to University of Manchester.
Why would you get an Uber when you have a bus pass? And why would you not have a bus pass? If you’re a student in Manchester without a bus pass then you’re either doing something wrong or you’re living in Victoria Park and that’s wrong in itself.
Heels who? You’ve got used to the laid back vibes that Manchester’s night life offers and couldn’t possibly consider going back to your home towns tradition of heels and a fancy dress on a night out.
R Kid! You’ve perfected how to walk like with that famed Oasis swagger so you can impress your mates with your spot on impression of Liam Gallagher. This is another one of the signs you go to University of Manchester.
It’s all vintage of course. You got it from Depop, eBay, or from Cow Vintage in the Northern Quarter. Your jacket and jeans combo is only acceptable because it’s Hilfiger. If anyone else tried to mis-match non-Hilfiger demin it is totally unacceptable.
University Place is never called University place. But to honest if the university is going to build a giant tin can, then we’re going name it as such. Sometimes it’s called the Tin of Tuna, sometimes it’s Mackrel – but it’s never University Place.
Somehow there is always someone with a laptop in front of every computer. When you do spy a computer, there is usually a bag or a coat ‘saving’ it. Guess it’s time for the pub when this happens! This is another one of the signs you go to University of Manchester.
It’s style over substance in Manchester and choosing a stylish Kanken bag definitely beats out actually bringing paper or pens to a class. Because you can actually afford a full sized one?
You once wore a nice pair of shoes to Antwerp. You learnt from your mistake. Now you have designated Antwerp shoes.
Like, water falling from the sky? Why is this happening? And why is it happening everyday? You never have your rain cost or umbrella dna eventually come to terms with the fact that you are now half human, half rain.
The drunk magic bus is one of the best parts of a night out. There are sing alongs, there are dares and there is laughter. The bus on the way home is a completely different, depressing story.
McDonalds being on Uber Eats is the best marketing they could have ever had. They will deliver it from the Fallowfield McDonalds to your door in under 15 minutes. It’s heaven on earth. This is another one of the signs you go to University of Manchester.
It’s probably tie dye, and you probably bought it thinking it would be all hip and trippy in your cool student house. Don’t worry, our house has five.
Fallowfield’s Sainsbury’s is more like a second home to you. You know exactly where the super noodles are and where your favourite cider is kept. You know what medicine they sell and what medicine they don’t sell. You will have wished to move into Sainsbury’s at least once.
How is there still washing up? Everyone left? Where did that plate and mug come from? This is another one of the signs you go to University of Manchester.
Depop is your lifeline in Fallowfield, you need to be ahead of the fashion trends. You were wearing Animal Print at Parklife – long before it became such a big deal.
Step 1: Fill your sick with glitter. Step 2: Put your face in it. Step 3: Go out.
Parklife is a fashion show with added music. Your outfits were probably decided before you even bought a ticket. You knew exactly which sparkles you wanted to wear and what shade of glitter would compliment your festival hair.
This is true for every student. It’s highly depressing, but it is the reality of living on your own and being given a huge wad of cash and a £1,500 overdraft. Go nuts! This is another one of the signs you go to University of Manchester.
Fifth was once ranked the worst club in the country. But 90s night is an exception. You will venture over the sticky floor for the 90p shots and 90p vodka mixers. You’re skint but you still needed the party.
