"I have very, very little memory of my time at university...the only thing I gained was a BA honours in being a total fuck-up"
Imagine university life as a blur of late-night parties, questionable decisions, and a haze of alcohol-induced memories – or lack thereof. In this episode of 'Sober Awkward', Vic and Hamish take a trip down memory lane, sharing their chaotic university experiences with humour and honesty. They paint a vivid picture of student life where education often took a backseat to endless nights out and cheap drinks.
Vic recalls her time at university as a whirlwind of drug-fuelled nights and missed lectures, describing herself as the nightmare flatmate who turned the kitchen into a makeshift nightclub. Hamish, on the other hand, shares tales of his own university days filled with treble vodka shots and all-night FIFA sessions. The duo explore how the pressures of fitting in and societal expectations can lead students to rely on alcohol as a crutch, often spiralling into unhealthy habits.
Through their candid stories, Vic and Hamish highlight the stark reality many students face – the struggle to balance fun with responsibility. They also touch on the long-term impact of these habits, from financial woes to mental health challenges. But amidst the laughter and nostalgia, there's a serious undertone about the importance of recognising these issues early on.
If you're someone who's ever woken up after a wild night out with only hazy memories and a pounding headache, this episode might just resonate with you. Vic and Hamish's journey from reckless party animals to sober advocates is not only relatable but serves as a reminder that it's never too late to change your path. Tune in for a blend of humour, raw honesty, and maybe even a nudge to rethink those university habits.
