Who knows, these hobbies might actually help you bag a job further down the line. Check out the stands at the fair for inspiration for your new hobby, be it climbing, scuba diving, circus skills, music, languages \u2013 the world is your hamster!<\/p>\n

          1. Get a job<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

            If you are worried about missing out on the more social elements of drinking, get a job in your local student bar. That way you will be able to meet lots of people and take part in events without feeling the pressure to drink.<\/p>\n

             <\/p>\n

              \n
            1. Go to a tea crawl<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

              This is actually a thing now, apparently. If you are a tea drinker this is an ideal way to get into the swing of Fresher\u2019s week without incurring a hangover.
              \n <\/p>\n

                \n
              1. Laugh!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

                The most important thing to remember is that you need to laugh. Your drinking counterparts will undoubtedly make complete fools of themselves so make the most of it!<\/p>\n
