Every Christmas break while I was at uni, I flew back to Dubai to see my family. One year, my flight back to the UK where I went to uni was on Christmas Eve. As usual, I arrived at the airport with loads of time to spare. Nothing’s worse than rushing around last minute. Also, more time to drink lol. Ngl, I was pretty much a fully-fledged alcoholic during uni, but I guess most students are. I was halfway through my first cocktail at the bar texting a friend, when someone sat near me. He was an older white guy dressed like he was on his way to work, except he had sunglasses on, and I remember thinking “what a douche”. He ordered a drink, took off his sunglasses, then commented that I must be intelligent, because I attend the same university as his daughter. I was wearing my university hoodie which is how he knew.
