What does the Easter egg you buy say about you as a Warwick student?

Easter is finally here now, even though we seem to have been not at uni for weeks and naturally, the shelves in every supermarket have filled up with the Easter eggs we all know and love. It’s the end of Lent for some and for others just an opportunity to eat a whole bunch of chocolate  which I think is more than respectable considering the impending start to Term 3. However, certain Easter eggs just seem to scream student stereotypes and I’m going to dissect what egg makes you each type of Warwick student.

Thorntons egg

This is an egg I’d consider a British staple. Decently priced, easily accessible and overall pretty good. This is the sort of egg, due to its decent price, the average broke uni student would enjoy. However, it is a basic egg a British mum would also buy their son to take back to uni, specifically the basic, business casual trouser wearing man you can find in every History lecture.

Hotel Chocolat egg

If you can afford a £34 Hotel Chocolat Easter egg, or if your parents are buying you one, I expect to see you in formal wear walking around WBS and having lunch at Pret. You probably get off at Parade from the bus because you’re a North Leamington resident through and through. I can only applaud your boujee lifestyle.

If you’re a caramel fan, you are most likely trying to be different, get away from the classic plain easter egg and experience something new with an almost sickening taste. I see the caramel Easter egg as representing the Warwick fresher. This overly sweet taste is trying to compensate for the sweetness you felt in freshers week trying all the clubs and not thinking about uni actually being about work. I respect you for trying to recapture the awe you felt the first time attending Pop!  after circle but realistically, it will not bring you back to those days and therefore, you are just resigning yourself to eating it in the library  struggling through assignments. It’s a step above a plain easter egg but realistically, is the vibe any different?

Lindt Easter Bunny

Yes, I’m aware this isn’t an actual Easter egg but I am including it here for its icon status and popularity. The Lindt chocolate is seen as a little boujee but most importantly, by appearance, seems to contain less chocolate than your classic egg. Therefore, this egg is giving I am in a sports society, your cheat meal if you will. You saw it in Tesco, started craving chocolate even though you’re all about health and wellness so you picked Lindt, somehow appearing to be more healthy than teh standard Dairy Milk. You’ll eat about half of the bunny, feel guilty about breaking your cut pre races and train the next morning at the crack of dawn. You either scoff it all at once (fair play) or give it to your non-sporty flatmate to finish off and inevitably focus more on being on top of your home workout leaderboard for the next week during Easter break.

Crème egg Easter egg

Now, to the most popular Easter egg of all apparently, the crème egg. A personal favourite egg of mine I have to say, but wildly controversial. You either love it or hate it really. I personally think it’s a bit shameful that the big egg in this pack isn’t crème inside but either way, you get a couple of minis at the bottom with the actual crème egg filling inside. It’s a little quirky and different but all the same, lovely. You would definitely see a humanities girlie with this egg because its slightly different and unique but it still encompasses a plain and more adventurous option inside, much like our humanities baddies. You can share with friends, due to the multifaceted nature of this beloved egg, unlike the STEM and finance bros choices who are all competing for the same summer internships at Deustche Bank: No chocolate sharing for you. You get the best of both worlds: Both a standard and still delicious hollow chocolate egg, as well as the more creative crème eggs inside, showing both sides of students we see in the FAB (to the STEM students who sneak inside you do not count!)
