Along with Portobello Beach and the Castle, Arthur's Seat is one of those things you keep meaning to do, but important things keep getting in the way. Mostly Breaking Bad, Game of Thrones and New Girl. (credit:Jui-Chi Chan via Getty Images)

The cautious look-around before stuffing an apple into your bag. The sigh of relief as you make it out the building after having committed Pollock Halls' most criminal sin. You kept to JMCC rules at first, but it didn't take long for your student survival instincts to kick in. After all, like you're going to pay for lunch. (credit:Chris Clinton via Getty Images)
