You know you're in post grad when...

  • Weekends are for catching up on work and sleep instead of partying
  • An 8:30 lecture means that you can sleep in a bit!
  • You can't fit all of your textbooks into one bag
  • A textbook or journal article is not considered a good reference in an assignment
  • One assignment per week is a blessing.
  • Your nightmares are peppered with the words "Printing failed".
  • You voluntarily attend public lectures
  • Going home before lunch time just doesn't happen...and then you're back again by 2pm.
  • All of your Facebook and Twitter posts are about your work
  • Public holidays are necessary for your mental health
  • Computers and their constant problems become your worst enemy.
  • Readings under 15 pages are rare and exciting creatures.
  • You get a feeling of dread when your lecturer gives you a 1 000 word limit on your assignment.
  • Writing a blog post is done in the law labs when you're meant to be researching your next essay...
