What’s been your most embarrassing moment since starting uni?

Unay is tough on us all


We’ve all got memories that make us cringe.

But it’s not all being kicked out of clubs and shagging flatmates.

Second year Sophie said: “My most embarrassing moment was definitely getting really emotional over this homeless man’s dog outside.

“Apparently, I cried with it until his owner got enough free cigarettes but I wouldn’t let it go and tripped over the pavement. It was a pretty messy night to say the least but I still don’t understand how I got thrown out”.

Sophie was emotionally scarred from the ordeal.

The Hive seems to be a popular location for humiliation.

Kristina is one of the few legends to have been kicked out.

She says: “I can’t actually remember what I did because I was so drunk”.

It must have been pretty fucking embarrassing for her to stay anonymous

English student Alex says: “My most embarrassing moment was when I lost my phone, jacket and one of my shoes at Opal.

“My mate ditched me and I somehow made it to Beaverbank. As soon as I got there, I spewed in the corridor outside the girl’s flat I was staying in.

“I tried to support myself on a nearby fire door but I managed to break it off its hinges. The next morning, the security guy said he recognised me…from the CCTV.

“To this day, the Beaverbank lot all know me as “sick”.”

She didn’t want the security man to recognise her again.

Biology undergrad Johanna said: “My friend and I projectile vomited inside a taxi we booked to take us back to my flat from Why Not.

“We were too drunk to look after ourselves so we just stripped off in our bathroom and threw up even more”.

“There was sick everywhere. It dried in our hair and everything”

We’ve all been there mate.

Not all disgracing moments happen on nights out – if anything, they’re an excuse to act like absolute twat.

Most of the time, it’s the daily struggles we undergo as students that cause the most shame.

For Product Design student Megan it was the horrifying moment she underestimated the spacing of the ECA revolving doors during Freshers’ Week: “I saw a guy from my course that I just met and we both recognised each other on the street which was absolutely fine.

“We both had to go to ECA and I obviously wasn’t thinking at the time and walked in the same section of the revolving doors. It was intensely quiet and we were both so conscious of the situation.

“Great first impression”.

Typical ECA student – just couldn’t go along with my fucking notebook.

Jenny, a Norwegian Philosophy undergraduate, said: “My moment of shame involved a guy name Kyle who I mistakenly thought was called Kale for the entire year.

“He never corrected me though because he knew it was an accent thing.”

So when times are tough, just remember we’re all in this together folks.
