Student envy | September 17, 2009

It’s that time of year again.

Norwich is full of fresh-faced oiks, getting ready to start their university courses.

The restaurants and bars are heaving, as they splash the first chunk of their student loan.

And I – for one – am utterly jealous.

Four years ago I’d just arrived in Norwich – and was doing exactly the same thing.

Armed with my bank card and the key to my new room, I felt so brilliantly free.

Now I’m shackled with a full time job, bills to pay and a host of other commitments.

Just when I thought I’d got to grips with it, along comes the class of 2009 to taunt me.

Urgh. You know what – I hope they do get into debt.

That way they can be as miserable as the rest of us.
