1. Firstly, you had to choose between Shanowen Square and Shanowen Hall
And you would maintain your allegiance to whichever one you stayed in forever more.
2. And the race to get a room there gave you nerves every year
Whoops!

3. Remembering the entry codes was the bane of your life
ANOTHER THING TO REMEMBER, ARGH!
4. There was always a session happening somewhere
Even if you promised yourself that you wouldn’t go out, you couldn’t really avoid the session in Shanowen because they were constant.

5. And you were on first name terms with the security guards
Sure, didn’t you have many a late night chat with them?
Whoops!

6. You lived for that time of year when there was a sudden influx of international students
So glamorous, so exotic.
7. Nothing but the fear of God into you like the dreaded inspections
*frantically hides broken photoframe and strategically places mat over carpet stain*
8. And you probably incurred a fine at some stage
For displaying your empty cans on the windowsill, obvs. (True sign of a ledgebag.)
9. The Spar was your saviour
Too lazy to do your shopping in the Omni? Chicken fillet roll in Spar, be grand.
10. In fact, you were inundated with messages from them
Thanks Spar.
11. And even though you don’t live there anymore, it still has a special place in your heart
