Home is where the... evil cat... is...?

Things that you forget from home when moving to University in Lincoln:

- How loud you need your music to be able to actually hear it on the underground.

- How loud other people will undoubtedly play their music on the underground (it's best to keep an open mind - after all, a tinny, distorted version of jungle trance hits can't really be that bad... can it?)

- People are, in general, unfriendly, rude, impolite and just LOVE complaining.

- Reading over people's shoulders is a valid form of entertainment when travelling on public transport.

- No one will ever be willing to help you with your suitcase, no matter how big it is and how many stairs you need to climb.

- The South IS just as cold as the North, despite convincing yourself daily that you're so bloody freezing because you're marginally nearer to the North Pole.

- Silence does exist.

- Double bed = heaven.

- Yes, you've been away for almost two months, but you will still be expected to make your bed, tidy up and put your plates in the dishwasher.

- Dishwasher = heaven.

- How evil your mother's cat is. Don't let the cute and cuddly appearance fool you, or the fact that her name is 'Choccie'... she is an evil, mouse-killing, ankle-scratching beast.

- Your friends are hilarious, always have been, and always will be.

- You don't have to put coins into a normal washing machine (or at least I would highly recommend that you don't.)

- Some albums were just made for long journeys.

- Your Grandparents will still tell you that you haven't lost weight and your hair is a mess despite how much they claim to have missed you.

- Some things never change.
