Let’s face it, over the past couple of years, Whatsapp has replaced all other forms of communication. Phone calls, texts, emails, Facebook messages. You name it, we communicate it via Whatsapp.
And if anyone were ever read to the content of our Whatsapp conversations, we would need to leave the country. Immediately. And forever.
Here are 15 Whatsapp messages every Irish student will receive…
1. ‘Tea?’
This generally arrives a few times a day from everyone you know around college. And yes, there’s always time for tea.
2. “Are you going in for 9?’
When your class BFF or your housemate in the next room can’t be bothered going in for that early lecture. There’s comfort in knowing other people are skipping classes too. .
3. “U OK hun x?”
When someone sends you a screenshot of an attention-seeking Facebook status / Instagram caption. #YouKnowWhoYouAre
3. “Are you alive? Answer the phone.”
This one’s from your Mum. You’ve been dodging calls for the last few days due to hangovers, the fear and a slice of guilt about not going home for the dog’s birthday.
4. “Call your mother back when you have a chance. Love, Dad”
A follow up from your Dad. You’ll also get an update on the dog, the weather and a random fun fact about what’s going on at home.
5. “Rent is due.”
The worst text of the month usually arrives from your landlord / super organised house-mate that everyone else secretly hates. You’re never ready for this one.
6. “Are you at home? Have you seen my keys?”
There’s one of these in every college household. How many times can one person lose a set of keys?
7. “Out tonight?” (11pm)
From the guy you shifted last week.
8. “Where you?” (1am)
From the guy you shifted last week.
9. “Still out?” (3am)
From the guy you shifted last week.
10. “Omg. Hi.” (3.20am)
From the drunk pal you lost several hours earlier on the dancefloor.
11. “Can I borrow €50? Promise I’ll give it back.”
From your younger sibling.
They never give it back.
12. “When am I getting that €50 back?”
From your older sibling.
They’re never getting it back.
13. “When is that assignment due?”
From one panicked classmate to another. This one strikes the fear of God into you, and a series of hysterical class messages ensues.
14. “Netflix and chill?”
From your Significant Other. The romance is in college is real.
15. “Have you seen my dignity?”
Sent into the Whatsapp group after a B.N.O. (big night out). Nope, no sign of it around here.
