Over the past couple of years, Whatsapp has become absolutely massive among Irish students. We no longer text or email, we just WhatsApp… and why not, it’s free, easy and private.
But what if those messages weren’t private and we could see what they say. We’re pretty sure, these 12 messages would turn up on about 90 per cent of students’ phones.
“Pints?”
Who says the Irish are poor communicators. This is both simple and effective.
“Are you going to training? If yes, can I have a lift?”
This is usually sent by the same guy, once weekly.
“It’s all on Blackboard.”
The saviour to every student who misses the occasional rare lecture.
“No plugs in the library…”
This happens every year around exam time. ALL of the sockets are taken and one of your mates who has already made the tough trek happily informs you.
“That society won’t stop sending me emails”
You can’t remember how you ended up in the fly fishing society, but you do know you can’t get out.
“Hi Mam, any chance you can put my rent in a little earlier this month”
It wouldn’t be so bad if you didn’t have this message as a template to send at the same time every month.
“No, I didn’t study for it either”
Pain shared is pain lessened.
“What date are repeats?”
There’s always the repeats.
“How much is the J1?”
Just make sure you’re back for the repeats.
“Is there free drink?”
The question asked before every student party.
“Still out?!”
Usually asked after one of those student parties.
“So, did you score last night?”
And usually asked the morning after…
