The 44 depressingly true facts no one told you about uni life
*Starts crying again*
Remember the innocent days when you thought uni was going to be all fun and games? Remember when you thought you'd hand essays in on time, without having a breakdown three hours before the deadline because TurnItIn stopped working? Same.
Sadly, no one can do your degree for you or improve the standards of your daily life. But at least these 44 tweets will make you realise you're not the only one who needs six naps a day to stay alive at uni:
