UNIVERSITY can be one of the greatest, worst, best, weirdest, hardest and happiest times of your life.
It's full of ups and downs, good times and bad, and sometimes — even though it feels like it's never going end — you kind of don’t want it to, either.
Sure, you can still have fun as an adult, but uni feels like the last time in your life that you can be carefree, take risks, make mistakes and party all night without getting a hangover.
So enjoy it while you can because once it’s over, you’re guaranteed to miss those golden years.
So if you want to relive your uni years, or if you just want to get an idea of what #unilife is all about, these quotes from New Girl’s loveable larrikin Nick Miller pretty much sum it up.
