Finally home from uni
Where is the dog? It is the Easter holidays and that means
I'm home from university! Returning home from university is an odd experience quite unlike any other and so today
I thought I'd talk about it. Before we begin if you've never watched any of my videos before, my name is Jack Edwards and I
post loads and loads of university related content as well as weekly vlogs from my experience at Durham University
So if you'd like to check any of those out
they'll all be on my channel and you can click the little red subscribe button down below
I'd appreciate it and now that this video has more plugs than a bath and shower shop,
let's get started. So, after one long term of grotty tea towels and feeling like you're on one big holiday with all of your mates
It's time to head back to the family home. It's like student rehab
I feel like I'm on a detox. The first difficulty that you face of course is your initial
arrival because there is no polite way of saying:
I'm more excited to see my pets than any human member of my family. Seriously though my schedule for the next four weeks is
completely packed and every single task includes
my dog in some way. Of course
it's great to be home, but you do now live out of a suitcase because all of your things are at your
university home except you can't call that home because that would kind of upset the people that
birthed you. The first few days are bliss you spend your whole time napping and slobbing around and then after that initial
honeymoon phase you realize, having nothing to do is kind of boring
This is however quickly interrupted because nothing says being home quite like Jack? Can you set the table?
Why don't you make your bed? Stop leaving empty glasses all over the house
honestly mum my uni room has so many glasses in it it could be mistaken for an opticians and
no one tells me off about it. I am a guest in this house now,
you are getting a terrible review on TripAdvisor.
Then it's time for the wider family reunions and the dreaded but anticipated interrogation. So?
You have a girlfriend yet? I hope you're working as hard as you're playing
What is it that you wanted to do after university again? Honestly!
I could make a bingo card out of all of the questions. I anticipate and after about five minutes
i'd have them all ticked off. I'd have a full house. Unfortunately however the house remains full,
for the next five hours, but it's not all bad of course you have the reunions that you've been dreaming of for months. I
love you, I love you. I love you and after months of living on a diet of vks and instant noodles
it's a blessing to see some branded food. It's not everyday value, and yeah at university
I would consider my diet balanced if I alternate between the blue and yellow VKs
Okay?
However you do have to acclimatize to not just being able to eat whatever you want, whenever you want
One of the weirdest things about being at
university is that you just have no one to answer for. If I go to the shops and buy a family bag of crisps
No
one will tell me off for eating all of those in one sitting, and it is
Difficult getting back used to a my roof my rules kind of policy when you've been living under
"my roof has a leak in it so we have a bucket over there" kind of existence
But then again this roof is the one that has multiple sheets of toilet paper, a good water
temperature and a shower that you don't have to wear flip-flops in. It's heaven and
best of all this is the place where you get all of your
favourite meals. I was dropping hints for weeks before I came back about what
meals I'd like to have when I arrived. "yeah, I've been really struggling with the workload actually
There's so much at STAKE" "Ah mum I was in the club the other night. They were playing some absolute BANGERS,
yeah, yeah some kind of dodgy MASHups though. Yeah, all I wanted really was some PEAS and quiet,
And maybe some gravy?" But then again
It's kind of weird when people question the things that you do again,
like if you go out in the middle of the night someone will ask you. Where are you going?
what time will you be back and shouldn't you wear a coat? Of course though, there's no place
we'd rather be than home.
Ah, that was a nice wholesome and happy ending, wasn't it? Shout out to the parents keep paying for my education
Love you. Thank you, and that was what coming home from university is really like I hope you enjoyed it
I hope you could relate. Thank you very very much for watching if you enjoyed this video
Please don't forget to give it a big thumbs up
I really appreciate it and you can subscribe down below for more from me. What more could you ask for. I've been Jack Edwards
Hopefully I still will be Jack Edwards next time you watch and I'll see you next time. Bye bye.
I got locked out. That's enough filming for nay
