We asked freshers for their most tragic Freshers’ Week confessions and they did not let us down

Freshers week leaves us all with a lot of memories, but some of those memories definitely stand out from others, and not always in a good way. We asked Leeds students to share some of their freshers confessions, and honestly, reading some of these will make you feel a lot better about your own existence.

Zoe, Art

"The other night I got so drunk on a pub crawl, that I lost all my flat mates and ended up in a photo-booth in Pryzm taking photos on my own, covered in ketchup, with a hot dog… new meaning to the term messy night".

Lucy, Maths

"One night me and my friends were playing Monopoly and drinking, then one of the girls had to leave the room to be sick. Everyone went into the other room to check if she was okay, but we found her covered in her own vomit with chunks of undigested sausage all in her hair, now 'chunks' has become her new nickname".

Tom, English

"One night when we were drinking one of my mates got so drunk that he shaved his own head, accidentally sh*t himself and we found him like that, completely naked, and of course we all took pictures".

Cailan, Chemistry

"One night after drinking I started really craving Flames and decided I wanted to go really bad. I went to ask one of the girls in my flat to come with me, but when I walked in there was a naked boy on her bed awkwardly trying to cover himself. But that didn't stop me from wanting to go to Flames. I wouldn't take no for an answer, I was so drunk and kept begging my friend to come to Flames with me. In the end all of my other flatmates had to come in and drag me out of the room".

Caroline Charnock, Childhood Studies

"I knocked myself out and got kicked out of Tiger Tiger by jumping into the ball pit too many times".

Joe, Psychology

"One of my friends came back from the Otley Run completely wasted, that he stripped naked and started dancing and 'windmilling' in front of the flat window where all the girls in the flat next door could see him".

Tom, English and History

"One night I drank so much that I forgot that my parents were supposed to be coming round the next morning to visit me and I completely overslept. My parents came round at 9 in the morning, and I didn't wake up until 4 in the afternoon. The unluckiest part is that my parents just so happened to turn up at the same time as Security Services banging on my door".

Emily McGill, Chemistry

"My most tragic confession from freshers is having to run out of one of my first lectures to be sick".

Phoebe, Maths

My friend was actually sick all over the desk in her first lecture. Then in one of the next lectures the lecturer made a joke about it and everyone there knew who it was about, and turned to stare at her.
