We’ve all heard that old cliché that the years spent at University are the best years of your life, but what about when things don’t quite go to plan?

It’s arguably better:
Going to Sobar or Jesters and spending more time outside ‘drunk socialising’ than inside #sotonuniproblems

We all know the truth:
Wearing your gym kit to lectures just so your coursemates know how fit you are. #sotonuniproblems

The silver lining we were all thinking about:
If we loose, at least we can be reassured by the fact we will one day be their bosses #Varsity2013 #teamSoton #sotonuniproblems
