I'm going to get a shitload of stuff done today. Starting with sorting work for the summer. As long as this pounding headache and massive urge to throw up dissipate, of course.
Though I'm not sure I want to enter the real world, being a dickhead student is quite fun. When did you first realise you were a part of the real world?

I count being a student as being part of the "real world".Especially when you have bills to pay, rent to make, food to buy and petrol for your car and your parents don't help out, and you can't get any student loans.

A combination of:
Having my own business (now sold) and having the responsibility of paying people.
Owning property.
Being a father.
Having a financial advisor.
Helping my father chose a coffin for his dead mother.
