How To… Survive A Norwich House Party

The leaves are changing, Fresher’s week is over and the organised ones amongst us are starting to think about deadlines.

But while we might be getting a little tired of the LCR (It never seems quite as silly or fun after the first couple of weeks) that doesn’t mean that the fun has to stop.

Halloween is coming up, and after my traumatic experiences at the Waterfront last year, I’m looking forward to a good old fashioned house party.

1. Crying in someone’s bedroom. You are drunk and the picture of their nan is making you homesick. You probably don’t even like your nan that much.
2. Holding someone’s hair back in the bathroom. You are a good samaritan or you don’t know anybody.
3. Standing awkwardly in a corridor with the three other people you know.
4. Sitting on a sofa, alone, licking your lips at scared looking Fresher girls.
5. Doing the running man in the middle of the dancefloor and getting away with it because you’re a top bloke.
6. Smoking outside
7. Queueing awkwardly for the bathroom, texting
8. Having deep in depth conversation about cinema with a total stranger, adding them on Facebook and never talking to them again.
9. Trying to get the DJ to put your playlist on, despite the fact that your playlist is predominantly Cheryl.
10. Screaming ‘LET’S GO TO KARTEL’ and being ignored.
