If you do any of these insufferable things during Freshers’ Week, you’re a certified posh girl

Uni is a time for making friends and meeting ALL types of people. It’s the first time you are truly thrown into a mixture of people and it sometimes feels a bit like a simulation. Many unis (especially Russell Groups) are known for having their posh students – the ones who boast about going to a private school and living off daddy’s money.

Posh girls are 99 per cent of the university population. You can spot one from a mile away and you can definitely hear one before you see them. So, if you’re a gal who can’t beat the “posh girl” allegations, here are some posh girl Freshers’ Week things you might have done which confirm you’re a certi posh girl.

1. Use Prosecco as pre drinks

Most people have the usual squadka, the usual beer, the usual voddy cran, but posh girls? They treat pre drinks like they are at The Ivy for a casual lunch.

See, I am a wine and prosecco lover. Even when I drink it I feel a bit posh (even though its Echo Falls and the cheapest Prosecco known to man). But, certified posh girls will have no shame drinking some Mionetto Prosecco at the pres.

2. Requesting ‘dutty tunes’

Posh girls will try their best to cover up their poshness by using words like “dutty”, “baccy” and “rahhhh”. You already know a posh girl will spend the whole pres requesting “dutty tunes” and begging the DJ to play some Central Cee. When, in reality, she absolutely hates DnB and only dances when someone’s filming her on Snapchat.

3. Complaining about there being no cleaner

Some unis tend to have a weekly cleaner, whereas others don’t. I know during my first year, we had a weekly cleaner and the posh girl in my flat would leave a MESS and just say “the cleaner will do it”.

So, you can spot a posh (spoilt) girl immediately during Freshers’ Week from the way she treats the flat and expects everyone to run around after her. You don’t have your maid now luv x

4. Doing your food shops in Waitrose

Of course, a clear sign of a posh girl is if they do their weekly food shop in Waitrose or M&S. Bonus points is if they ONLY buy fresh foods and the staple posh girl foods of smoked salmon, avocado and sourdough bread. You just know that half of their food will go off immediately because they decide to get takeaways every day instead of cooking.

Shopping at Waitrose during Freshers’ Week is peak posh girl energy. How do you have the time or energy to do a weekly shop right now?

5. Immediately joining the lacrosse, polo or hockey society

You know all the posh girls immediately flock to these societies. They gather up their boarding school team and rinse those sports memberships to play their beloved sport. Not going to lie, I have no idea how to play lacrosse, polo or hockey but they just SCREAM posh girl. Also reminds me of the posh girls in Wild Child. If you know, you know.

6. Consistently ordering Wagas

Following the Waitrose food shop, of course the posh girl NEVER cooks, especially not in Freshers’ Week. She isn’t used to that lifestyle. So instead, she orders Deliveroos and Uber Eats as a way of  “cooking”.

Instead of ordering from cheaper restaurants such as McDonald’s or KFC, of course the posh girl must get the most boujee of meals – Wagamamas. Speaking from experience, I knew a posh girl who would get Wagas every. Single. Day. So, it naturally gives me posh vibes.

7. Getting Ubers after every night out

This is a super obvious way of spotting a posh girl. Regardless of the walk from the club to first year accommodation being only 15 minutes, the posh girl has already booked an Uber to take her home. You really think she’s going to walk home in her new Golden Goose’s and fur jacket?

8. Having daily oat iced vanilla lattes

A posh girl never makes her own coffee nor brings a takeaway coffee mug with her to campus. During Freshers’ Week, she spends £5 everyday on a single oat iced vanilla latte from her local Starbucks and calls its “girl math” because she decides to not get extra syrup with it.

9. Speaking like you’ve got tuberculosis

I don’t know if this is just a southern thing, but why do all posh girls speak like they’ve got a constant illness? They sound like they’re in pain. If you meet the posh girl during Freshers’ Week, don’t offer her a Strepsil, that’s just her voice. Bonus points if she consistently says “rahhh” after every sentence and elongates every vowel in their vocab.

10. Only speaking to rugby boys

You’re a posh girl if you’ve done any of these Freshers’ Week things, but only speaking to rugby boys is insanely rah. They try so hard to get with BNOCs. They want to be the next BNOC. So, of course during Freshers’ Week they only mingle with the popular rugby boys who study economics.

11. Wearing white linen trousers on campus

They wear white linen trousers NO MATTER WHAT. Even if its chucking rain outside, the posh girls don’t care, they’re wearing their white linens and knitted Ralph Lauren jumpers.

12. Ringing your parents for money

By the end of Freshers’ Week, they will be begging their mummy and daddy for more money because they’ve spent a grand on their clothes shopping alone.

13. Your dorm is decked out with Jo Malone and Rituals

If your room already stinks of designer fragrances and hand creams after Freshers’ Week, you’re so posh it hurts.
