I went out a lot when I first started and stuck with my friends from halls tightly. Ok, this was the first two weeks and it's taken until the end of my first year to make some really good mates (although my old flatmate is awesome) who I hang around with all the time. You should go down to the student union bar and just mingle, you make friends in university who you'd never usually imagine chilling with.
Just go out, have a few drinks, talk about random crap and get as many numbers as possible.
Well you have some time to get practising .. im like a young Jamie Oliver ...actually no he's a twat .. well i can cook yay go me.
My problem is that I have no passion for cooking.
I need to try more varieties of Pot Noodle, then...
Also, re: noodles - don't turn your nose up at the Tesco Value noodles. At 8p they're even cheaper than Supernoodles, & they really are nice. Then again YMMV - I've had people tell me they're not keen on the Tesco ones & prefer Kwik Save noodles (8 or 9p), which I personally hated & found too highly spiced.
The thing is, you don't have to be a master chef or something like that. You just need to know how to cook basic things like pasta. Might worth getting a student cook book (if there's such a thing) or something.
Now thats a good idea for thesite.org
I LOVE Tesco value noodles! Cheapest, and seriously the nicest in my honest opinion.
Either way, don't worry about cooking. I couldn't do rice or pasta, when I first began. My flatmates had to jump in and "save" my food whenever I attempted to cook something in the start, but I have now gotten so many compliments for my food, even by those same flatmates who would command me to sit down so they could take care of the cooking. You'll make mistakes, but hey it's all part of the experience when learning how to cook.
Didn't we already have one of these a while back?
don't eat too much pasta you'll get stodgy!
Come on lets not start the Pot Noodle vs Super Noodle debate .. we all know Pot Noodles rule the school!
I can cook but that's a damn good idea of gettin people to do it for me!
'Erm ...so...I'm grilling this pasta, yeah...and the bacon's in the oven. Am i doing it right?' :razz:
Then again, i'd probably be washin up for a year...
I know durham students are back on october 1st, but a few are back pretty soon, its all scary stuff
Yet all the best to you all
