You can tell us about the unexpected downsides too if you want.

Employment makes me supid
First year of university - No Job - passed the year.
Seond year of University - Job in Student Union Bar - Failed the Year
Repeat of Second Year - Still had the job in the SU bar - Failed 2 exams (plus resits) and had to complete an academic appeal to get into third year (So I didn't enroll until December)
Third Year - Gave up SU job, everything was fine. Got a job in a Karaoke bar 1 month before my dissertation is due.
But I caught on so I quit my new job after 2 shifts so that I have time to write the 12,000 words that I should have been writing all year but have left until the last minute. As you do.
But on the upside because I enrolled so late I got a 1 month dissertation extension :)
And of all the things I could be worrying about, for example, Lack of cleverness resulting in Joblessness resulting in lack of money resulting in homelessness.
No. I am now upset because everyone else will hand in their dissertation a month before me so I'll miss all of the parties :(
One of the reasons I came to uni was because my college tutor told me I'm 'not uni material' and I wanted to prove her wrong. She is wrong - I am uni material as long as I remain unemployed (and relatively sober)
