Student's attempt to throw garbage in dumpster goes very wrong, very fast

Oh dear.

If ever there was a video that summed up student life at its very best, it's this four-second Twitter clip.

On Sunday, University of Nottingham student Emily Holt posted the following tweet with the caption, "my flatmate has just peaked":

Just. Wow.

The flatmate in question is 19-year-old Natalie Smith, who also tweeted the video.

Holt's original tweet has now been shared over 82,000 times. Judging by the responses, it seems to have gone down well.

Someone has even created fan art. You know you've truly made it when you inspire fan art.

One decimated bag of rubbish is surely a small price to pay for viral fame.
