1. You wake up and wonder where the hell you are.
2. You live off 8p basics noodles from Sainsbury’s.

A student currently studying in London says that she is going to become to a stripper in order to repay the debts she has built up while waiting for her student loan.

Students at the Magdalen college in Oxford have voted to rename their Junior Common Room (JCR) Gryffindor, after the house in Harry Potter.
The original Gryffindor common room from the Harry Potter films
They also called on other colleges in Oxford University to take-up the names of the other houses – Hufflepuff, Slytherin and Ravenclaw.
They shouldn’t hold their breath though… It is very unlikely that the 550-year-old college will make the change as the fellows must approve it.
Laurence Mills, president of the JCR, said: “They did technically vote for the name, but legally I don’t think we can do it as I believe the name’s owned by Warner Brothers.
“The change would also have to be ratified by the fellows of Magdalen College and I can’t imagine them ever agreeing to it.”
Matthew Shribman, a student who voted for the change, said: “It is a joke, but in our eyes the Magdalen College JCR is currently called Gryffindor, since the motion ran and passed fully legitimately.
“Plus Professor David Clary, the President of the college is known to have one of the top ten fastest growing beards in the United Kingdom, and will be able to catch up with the character of Albus Dumbledore in a matter of weeks.”
