A Guide To Your First Night
In traffic signs

Whether you let your parents come and help you move in is entirely up to you.
The extra help is always welcome when you’ve got an entire boat load of possessions to move but it’s debatable if you want a family party in your new ‘pad’.
There’s no holy grail on this matter and the choice is entirely up to you. Regardless of your decision, everyone else is going to have the exact same problem so don’t worry about your image just yet. |

Start getting your room in order.
Unpack some boxes.
Don’t make a fort with the empty ones.
Make that drab, white coloured room your new home for the next year.
Stick up some posters and photographs.
When it’s all done, take a deep breath, a swig of JD and go meet the Klopeks. |

Let go of the overwhelming fear that you might meet Norman Bates and go and chat to people.
Go greet your next door neighbour.
Take biscuits or alcohol to lubricate the friendship process.
Wander into the kitchen and see what the banter is.
It’s not a cliché but at the end of the day, you’re going to meet some great people.
Noted you’ll probably hate them after three years of living under the same roof, but it’s a long time until then. |

Try and go to the hall bar on the first night
It’s a great chance to socialise and whether you’re a drinker or not there’s still much craic to be had.
If your hall organises nights out to bars and clubs it’s always a good plan to tag along.
They’re a great introduction to the Manchester nightlife and always worth a pop along to. |

Sadly, you’re not going to remember everyone’s names.
Luckily your hall committee should have provided you all with t shirts in some foolhardy attempt for block friendship.
On a night out, it’s common for people to scrawl graffiti onto these shirts.
Usually in a primitive attempt at mating.
Anyway, if you’re have trouble dredging up peoples’ identities, write their names onto their shirts.
Or give them nicknames from characters off the A team to help you remember.
Don’t fight over which one of you
gets to be Mr. T. |
