A collective noun used to refer to the collection of poor, tormented souls
studying in the first year of university. Poor
kids working their asses off 20 hours a
day and still getting it kicked by Professors and recruiters alike. Miserable beings who survive for months on a week's worth of sleep. Wretched people surrounded by a barrage of assignments, surprise tests, presentations, CVs, interviews and haunted by nightmares of not landing a job or flunking a subject.
