A hearty list of 20 things Birmingham students think are equivalent to the Roman Empire
The Teaching and Learning stairs are on my mind every day
A TikTok trend gracing many people’s For You Pages and an idea that surprisingly is on the mind of many men more often than anyone would have thought – the Roman Empire. It’s clear from the trend that many men often picture themselves as a good Emperor Augustus, ruling the largest empire of the ancient world.
We opened the question up to students of UoB, to hear all of the things that cross their mind at least once a day… So here are 20 things that University of Birmingham students said were the equivalent to their Roman Empire.
1. The Circo queue on a Monday night
fr freshers this is with all the love in the world you will have at least two more years of Circo when you live in smelly Selly, save it for then <3
2. The Teaching and Learning stairs
Who made them like that?! These stairs have the ability to make anyone a walking ICK.
3. How old is Joe Jackson?
More importantly – does he have a day job?
4. Angels by Robbie Williams
I just want words with whoever decided this song accompanied by blinding overhead lights was the way to end the night.
5. The big five
If you know, you know.
6. What’s in the bottom of the Vale lake?
Freshers if you’re thinking of jumping in it, take this as your sign to not.
7. That one guy in the Goose on a Friday night cutting shapes on the dance floor
What a cutie.
8. Refunding the train ticket from Selly to New street
