I thought it was about reading and learning, but for most people, it was about getting laid. Big fucking deal! I went there to study, to learn. I went there to avoid work, to avoid manual labour, whereas most other students were there to enjoy themselves for three years and I found that really offensive. When I went to university I was a virgin. I'd never drunk a drop of alcohol. And that's how it was when I left, except I'd had a few drinks. I used to get woken up constantly by pissed-up students coming home thinking it would be really funny to rampage up and down the corridors knocking on everyone's door, deciding to have a party in the kitchen at 1 am. Pathetic. It reminded me of my first year of comprehensive, all these little idiots whose idea of a good time involved sitting round reciting Young Ones sketches to each other
