Freshers Week as a Final-Year, Academented PhD

• How are you all so young?!
• I wish you the best in those years bridging youth and adulthood.
• “Work hard, play hard” is, in short, the way to go.
• Although don’t forget to have nights in to watch films or afternoons to read [fiction, luxurious fiction].
• Please learn traffic etiquette.
• Not from the drunk man waving his hands in the middle of traffic on a Friday night.
• Taking after more senior students (on the traffic etiquette front) would be more preferable. We’ve always thanked any bus-driver who didn’t give us an awful journey when alighting, and we LOOK BOTH WAYS before crossing the road.
• Please share the width of pavements and corridors. You won’t be excluded from your new group of baes just because you give way to somebody walking in the opposite direction.
• “Bae” means “poop” in Danish, so its newfound popularity in the English slang vocab will never cease to amuse those who enjoy scatological humour.
• Including yours truly.
• Because I am an adult.

(Take the last line seriously at your own peril.)
