1. "Ejja niehdu selfie’

Please, just move out of the way and let me wash my hands, you have been blocking the sink and  mirror for the past 15 minutes.

2. The drunken girl

The one who ’walks’  funnily and is either being friendly to everyone, or else trying to fight  everyone who is in her way,  whilst making a total fool of herself.

3. The crying girl who tells everyone the story of her life

There always seems to be  that girl who bursts into tears whilst surrounded by  a bunch of other females (who  she probably doesn’t  even know) who cope with her whining  about how her ex just kissed another girl in front of  her. Usually, one would hear the mandatory phrases of comforting the poor girl;  “jaq dik x’rala kemm hi mghafga?!”, “vera, int hafna isbah pupa”.

4. Girls who confuse the bathroom for  their bedroom

No one is ever sure if this kind of girl brought a man to help her pee and just happpened to block  the toilet for half an hour… Perhaps one should bear in mind that  a club’s bathroom is not really the most hygienic and romantic place to have sex!  

5. Girls who pay a visit to re-do their make-up

Girls understand the importance of having  to fix your lipstick, however, no girl needs  to block the sink of a club’s bathroom  for ages so that she  can re-do her make-up almost from scratch. Come on girl, just move it, you will become all  sweaty again as soon as you walk out of this bathroom anyway!  

6. Girls who become best friends after five minutes, for five minutes

Normally this starts with a compliment;  “kemm inti helwa istra”, and ending up with the two sharing  fashion tips and their deepest,  darkest secrets, hugging and kissing each other goodbye, walking  out of the bathroom and never see or hear of each other again.

7. I just need to pee

Finally we can say that there are actually a few girls who just came to pee. In a  queue of  at least  four times longer  than the one for the men’s bathroom, she waits patiently until it’s her turn, observes quietly,  pees, waits to wash her hands whilst the sink is blocked for so many different reasons, and leaves  with no harm done.

1. L-ikel tan-nanna

Ma nistax nibda’ minghajr ma nsemmi l-ikel bnin li ssajjar in-nanna. Zgur li mintix sejjer ghand in-nanna u tohrog tittewweb. Tista’ mhux iddum tghidilha li m’ghandekx guh, ghax xorta wahda  ha taghmillek platt imdaqqas mhux hazin, li kapaci jservik ghal  gimgha. Pero’ min jista’ jghid le ghall-ikel li kapaci taghmel nanna  Maltija biss?

2. Ismijiet tipici ta’ nanniet Maltin

 Il-probabbilta’ hi li n-nanna jisimha ghall-patrun/a tal-villagg li  twieldet u trabbiet fih. Jekk le, x’aktarx iva milli le, giet imsemmija  ghal ommha jew xi qraba ohra. Nghiduha kif inhi, min  m’ghandux xi nanna Marija, nanna Lonz, nanna Cens, nanna  Karmena, jew nanna Guza?!

3. In-nanna bhala t-tieni omm

Nanna Maltija tkun rabbiet xi tnejn jew tliet neputijiet, waqt li  uliedha jkunu qieghdin ix-xoghol. Tmur x’hin tmur ghand in-nanna fi  tfulitek dejjem issib xi erbat itfal jigru jilghabu noli mad-dar. Ghal  hafna Maltin, in-nanna tkun it-tieni omm taghhom.

4. In-nanna dejjem tiehu hsiebna

Meta titlaq minghand in-nanna, erhilha tohrog fil-gallarija jew  tohrog rasha mit-tieqa u toqghod ixxejjer sakemm tara li tkun tlaqt,  b’xi whud sahansitra jghidulek iccemplilhom meta tasal id-dar biex  isserrhilhom mohhhom.

5. Il-pariri tan-nanna

U l-ghaziza nanna, ma tkunx tipika Maltija jekk ma jaslux mumenti ghal dik il-konverzazzjoni serja  (specjalment jekk inti tfajla) u tghidlek xi frazi bhal:  “ibza’  ghal gismek u ruhek, il-garra gejja u sejra fl-ahhar tinkiser”, jew xi,  “ftakar li Alla jkun qed jarak, u meta tmur tiltaqa’ mal-Hallieq trid  taghmel il-kontijiet mieghu”. Fi kliem iehor nantek m’hi nantek xejn  jekk qatt ma qaltlek tibqa’ vergni sakemm tizzewweg.

6. Ghandek xi wiehed?  

Minkejja kollox,  in-nanna Maltija thoss li malli n-neputija taghlaq  dawk il-hmistax-il sena, ghandu jkollok ’namrat’. Allura irhila ssaqsi u  titkixxef biex tkun taf ghandekx xi wiehed jew wahda. Jekk tghidilha  li ghandek, kun certa li ha ssaqsik elf  mistoqsija dwar ir-razza u r-radika, filwaqt li jekk tghidilha li le probabilment tahseb li ghedtilha  hekk sempliciment ghax tisthi u mhux ghax vera m’ghandek lil  hadd.

7. Il-priedki tan-nanna  

 Ma jistax jonqos milli nsemmi li n-nanniet Maltin religjuzi mmens.  Quddiesa kemm jista’ jkun kuljum, Angelus f’nofsinhar, ruzarju,  talba qabel kull ikla, talba ohra wara ta’ ringrazzjament, u xi elf  talba ohra dedikati lill-qraba kollha li ghandha fis-sema. Ta’ sikwit  twissik li hazin qed taghmel ma titlobx u ma tmurx titqarben.

Imma msomma, fl-ahhar mill-ahhar dawn in-nanniet helwin wisq…Hadd ma jiehu post in-nanna Maltija!  

The post 7 Ragunijiet ghalfejn tan-Nanna helu manna… appeared first on The Third Eye.

1. The totally lost ones

These students don’t know anyone there, they have no idea where anything is and where they should go. Some are too shy and scared to ask around, while others constantly ask for directions trying to figure out where they should go.

2. “I came for the freebies”

Probably the majority of the students present fall into this category. These students just go around from one stand to another, collecting all they can find, and then go home.

3. Organisations Members

Those running around with the organisation’s t-shirt, and boxes full of freebies. Some might also be seen taking photos to publish them on their Facebook page and having a great time with members from other organisations.

4. The organised ones

The freshers who are in total panic, trying to make their timetable perfect, and to get to know where all venues are so that they will be on time for their first lecture. They attend all meetings and orientation sessions and ensure a trip to the organisation of their faculty or department.

5. The ones who think they already own the place

Most of these would have already been in an organisation at Junior College and would come to University thinking they are already better than everyone else because they know a lot of people there.

6. I need a woman

Those non-freshers that will come to freshers’ just to look at the “fresh women”.

7. Party-poopers

Those people who will complain that Freshers’ Week is a whole waste of time and that this is in no way educational.

The post 7 Different Types of People at Freshers’ Week appeared first on The Third Eye.

1.                 Being picked up too early!

Being picked up at 6am on a cold winter morning, when school wouldn’t start start before 8am. This meant arriving an hour early to school and hanging out with friends without any teacher supervision.

2.                 Arriving Late

On the other hand, there were drivers who came so late that some students would arrive in the middle of the first lesson every day.

3.                 "Ha nnizzilkom hawn’

At some point or another we all heard our driver say this, after students’ constant shouting and bugging the driver throughout all of the trip.

4.                 Stopping for pastizzi

This was obviously not allowed, but who can resist pastizzi? The Head of School would make a whole fuss, complaining that students were out of school in uniform. (It was totally worth it).

5.                 Fighting for the back seat

Admit it, if you were one of those kids who "owned’ the back seat, you were a human legend in that van. You felt so cool! A whole fight was on when someone dared to take your place.

6.                 Bugging pedestrians

Even if you were in secondary school, bugging pedestrians was a must! Shouting, passing comments and waving to everyone passing by was the general rule of conduct.

7.                 Mocking teachers

We all had that common teacher that we all used to hate. The van was the perfect place to mock them with school mates, without any teacher hearing you and telling you off.

8.                 Shouting your heart out to your favourite song

"Oghllilha drive!’ — As soon as your jam came on, your group would sing along loudly and make sure everyone passing by was hearing.

9.                 What happens on the school van, stays on the school van!

The golden rule. You were not considered part of "the group’ if you blabbed about everything you heard on the van with your other "non-van’ friends.

Come on, we all miss these things!
