How to spot a UJ student

How to spot a UJ student

 UJ students are easily recognisable, to outsiders ( No! not immigrants, but students from other tertiary institutions) because of their apparent attention seeking nature ( that’s a good thing) as well their consistently deliberate efforts to stand out. Yes, the general belief that UJ students are too out there is actually true-ACCORDING TO ME AT LEAST.

 Firstly, lookout for the students walking around the student centres of other varsities, with that “oh I wish you could come to my school and see what A real student centre looks like”. Secondly, when they know there’s going to be a high attendance of students from other campuses. UJ guys walk around with that smug self-satisfied grin which has that “I told them we had the hottest girls in South African tertiary institutions” air in it. Thirdly, at the Fresher’s or RAG parties, UJ students would be the ones dancing as if the Mayans had changed the date for the end of the world to September 1^st 2014.

Furthermore when you turn on your TV to watch a variety or game show and there are contestants who are studying in varsity. The most talkative guy acting like the show is produced by his uncle or the girl with the impressive weave and dress sense will most certainly be studying in UJ. In the event you find yourself in Braamfontein-where there is a plethora of tertiary institutions, and are in a debate about which varsity is the best in the country. The people looking sour as if they just had a sip of beer and realised it tasted nothing like juice, everytime when the guy or girl from Wits says how impressive Wits is, are probably UJ-ians.

Lastly, perhaps the most visible indicator that someone is a UJ student is when you are chilling with a guy ekasi lakho and you’re showing him how hot the girls in your neighbourhood are. The guy acting like he’s seen it all when it comes to hot girls would be the one from UJ. If it’s a girl when you show her how impressive ‘Thabo’ is because he just bought a Golf 5, the girl acting like Thabo might as well be driving an Uno, is probably from UJ.

I must say that as much as all that I have written is a satirical take of my school and its students, this is the exact thing that makes me love being a student from the University of Johannesburg. FYI don’t even think of making fun of my school, only we can do that.
