14 things you’ll only understand if you’re an arts student
The Arts span a number of different disciplines, but there are a few shared experiences that separate us from those sneering scientists…
1. Getting your reading list for next year and telling yourself you’ll bash it out over summer
2. But you always resort to using Sparknotes and Wikipedia anyway. Even Shmoop will do.
3. Seeing someone on your course looking for the same book in the library and being prepared for a Hunger Games-style fight to the death
4. Being atrociously under the word limit on an essay and resorting to talking absolute bull
5. Attempting to reference, with mixed results.
6. Experiencing that euphoric feeling when you find the right article on JSTOR
7. Realising that you’re essentially paying £9000 a year to teach yourself
8. But you still sleep through your one lecture a week, despite your housemate’s best efforts
