We’ve all heard that old cliché that the years spent at University are the best years of your life, but what about when things don’t quite go to plan? Well, now there’s a Twitter account dedicated to sharing the problems experienced by many Southampton students. ‘SotonUni Problems’ has, for the past 3 and a half months, been detailing the trials and tribulations of daily life as a Southampton student, and the Tab has gone back to the start to find the very best (or worst!) examples:

It’s arguably better:
Going to Sobar or Jesters and spending more time outside 'drunk socialising' than inside #sotonuniproblems

We all know the truth:
Wearing your gym kit to lectures just so your coursemates know how fit you are. #sotonuniproblems

The silver lining we were all thinking about:
If we loose, at least we can be reassured by the fact we will one day be their bosses #Varsity2013 #teamSoton #sotonuniproblems
