With all due respect to everybody, Freshers' week seems to be getting dangerously over-hyped and in my experience that usually ends in an anti-climax. Any thoughts?
That seems always to happen, when people seem to think beforehand of it being all about pub crawls and drunken nights at the union and meeting all new drink buddies, with whom they can spend their weekends generally getting plastered. Others who might not feel so strongly about the drinking element, but still feel the need to go out to a pub, just to be with other people, and because they fear being thought of as boring if they don't. We know this isn't the case, but there are always people coming here for the first time who don't realise this, and it does sometimes take a while for them to do so.

Let it be a joke,
Let it be a smile,
Let it be a farce if it makes me laugh for a little while.
Let it be a tear,
Let it be a sigh,
Coming from a heart, speaking to a heart, let it be a cry.
