We asked you what your worst childhood memories are
From cat piss to Lyme disease
We were all in a hurry to grow up and come to uni.
But then we start drowning in work and realise childhood was indeed the best time.
But here are some of your worst childhood memories.
Zoe, second year, Business
“I was jumping on a trampoline when a bird pooped in my mouth.”
John, third year, Maths
“I fell out a tree when I was performing in an outdoor theatre group.”
Naomi, third year, Economics
“I spilt cup noodles all over me. I got burnt so badly I had to be taken to the hospital.”
Alissa, first year, Sociology
“I walked in on my parents having sex.”
Anthony, third year, Economics
“I fell off a fence in a park and cracked my head open.”
Steven, third year, Business
“I was skating in the park and slit open my knee. My bone stuck out. I can still show you the scar.”
Charlene,second year, Business
“My cat peeped on my school tie. And I didn’t realize till I got to school. It stank really badly the whole day.”
Jack, third year, Medicine
“I got Lyme disease as a kid. That’s when like a tick bites you. Half my face was paralyzed for two weeks. I had to open and shut my eye lid every night.”
Dragmair, fourth year, Middle Eastern Studies
“I was in the church once. It was very silent. And my little sister was trying to pick her nose. I kept pulling her hand trying to get her to stop. But she yelled out loudly: “Can you wait a second I am trying to pick my nose.””
