For some (0) reason, university students have always had an
image of being (1) irresponsible young people who play their
music at (2) volumes at all times of the day and night, hardly
ever do any real work and spend every night attending (3)
parties until the small hours of the morning. Personally, I
think this portrayal of students as such totally (4) parasites,
is (5) unfair, not least because living such an excessive
lifestyle continually would be (6) impossible when combined
with the absolutely (7) workloads of modern degree courses.
It (8) isn't possible on a modern degree course in the UK
to get up some time at around lunchtime. Students that I
know seem to have lectures almost every day and spend the
rest of their time working (9) hard indeed. They may let
off some steam once every month or so and it is probably
these (10) rare occasions that have given undergraduates
their fearsome reputation.
