Dear Life,

The WLU bookstore no longer accepts OneCard. What if the souvenir shop at the Royal Canadian Mint didn’t accept Canadian cash?

Sincerely, Confused

Dear Life,

How did you let me catch a cold in June?

Sincerely, It’s not winter

Dear Life,

Why is it necessary to destroy the Toronto downtown core? You have no great struggle to look forward to, your life is perfect and this makes you angry, I get it. Just next time you want to...

Dear Life, I am ashamed by and disappointed in some of the students here at Laurier. I am thoroughly disgusted by the amount of cigarette butts around our campus (ie. the library!) as well as the litter. For some absurd reason, I thought I was going to school with educated people who knew better. Garbage goes in a garbage can and cigarettes go in a butt disposal. Maybe try quitting? Sincerely, I’m Sorry I Thought I Was Going to University...

Dear Life, The purpose of headphones is so you can listen to the music without disturbing the rest of us. If they are loud enough that everyone in the room can hear you, turn it down. Heck, if I can hear it a couple seats down get away from me you bad taste in music people. Use your headphones. Sincerely, Don't Want to Listen to "Bad to the Bone"

Dear Life, I'm not much of a complainer, but what part...

Dear Life, I don't know, I don't care, I'm just studying because it's tomorrow. Sincerely, Done With Exams

Dear Life, I am suffering from some serious library rage caused by those who think the library is a place to talk loudly and do group projects. Please deliver me some ear plugs, the courage to tell these people to be quiet, or some inner tranquility. Sincerely, Rage in the Bibliotheque

Dear Life, In response to Foot Patrol being compared to a...

Dear Life, I don’t understand why some people enjoy dominating WebCT discussion boards and rudely insulting the intelligence of others when they in fact misspell words such as: “co-wardinator” and “neccisary”. How can someone insist on being an “I’m-smarter-and-better-than-you” arrogant jerk when clearly he failed grade 6 spelling? Sincerely, I’m Sorry We Apparently Haven’t Gotten the Same Quality Education as You

Dear Life,I would like to express my disappointment in the EcoHawk’s poor attempt to celebrate Earth Hour. In prior...

Dear Life, Why is it that people always assume that when you get married, you have to have children right away? Just because the majority of people in their 20’s can’t balance school, work, a social life and a mature committed relationship doesn’t mean that we all can’t. Stop attacking people who have found love and recognized it for what it is just because you can’t find fulfilment in one-night stands. Sincerely, Engaged at 16 and Happy About It

Dear Life, Why do people lose all sense of social norms when they enter the Concourse? From that one couple who constantly make out like we’re all in their private bedroom (and you all know who I am talking about), to the guitar player who thinks that we all want to hear him play “Save Tonight” off-key ad nauseam. I simply ask for some common courtesy in a public space. Sincerely, Concourse Pillar

Dear Life, No scientific calcs? What is...

Dear Life, Not everyone can afford a wardrobe full of nice clothes. We all have our stylish outfits, but once in awhile you have one of those days when your laundry is catching up to you. Sincerely, Pay For My Laundry If It Bothers You

Dear Life, Isn’t it nice when the staff writers actually know what they’re talking about? By the way, Christine Nesbitt is 24 and Marianne St. Gelais won a silver medal on her 20th birthday in...

Dear, Life, To the “Guy Who Does Not Like Bigots”, how do you “do some research” on whether someone is a homophobe? I’m just curious....I googled it and came up with nothing? Sincerely, How Do You Research a Homophobe?

Dear Life, Why does everyone at this school hate the Pita Shack? We have feelings too. Sometimes your “thank yous” kinda sound like go #*!@ yourself; we do our best to wrap properly and sometimes can’t help if the pitas fall...

Dear Life, I would like to know why the staff at the Pita Shack feel they have the right to get mad at the person ordering when THEY are the ones who messed up the order? Sincerely, It’s Not My Fault YOU Don’t Know How to Make a Pita

Dear Life, It would be greatly appreciated if the school decided to clean the classroom floors for once. Sincerely, Guy With the Dirt and Salt Stains On His Backpack

Dear Life, Why is it that people always eat noisy foods during class? I understand that apples are a healthy choice, but the constant crunching is not only distracting, it’s disgusting! If you are going to eat during class please pick something that is quiet to eat and be considerate of your classmates. Sincerely, Actually Trying to Pay Attention

Dear Life, Was I the only one embarrassed while watching Follies? It’s too bad no one told the people on stage...

Dear Life, I thought he would be a trophy hook up and it wasn’t even good. I thought it would be okay to not use a condom during our drunken sex. Thought I would be okay after a friend told me he has a dirty penis. Another week until I find out officially that I have genital herpes. Sincerely, I Will Remember #15 Forever

Dear Life, I’m tired of election teams hassling me as I walk by the Hawk. You’re...

Dear Life, What is the deal with this Owl City song called “Fireflies”? The guy singing sounds like a wimpier, 17-year-old version of Justin Bieber singing about his unhealthy obsession with bugs. Whatever happened to good new music? Sincerely, Don’t Even Get Me Started on Ke$ha

Dear Life, I recently had to buy a $120 set of photocopies from the bookstore. In doing so, I noticed the renovation of the course package cover page. For one, how about we save...

Dear Life, Does being a university student require you to look like you just crawled out of a ditch, or is this strictly a Laurier-style? Unkempt hair, track-pants and Ugg boots?? Apparently looking homeless is now a fashion statement. Sincerely, Taking Pride in my Appearance

Dear Life, Am I the only person who doesn’t give a flying alpine skier about the Olympic flame relay? Seriously, how is seeing someone, especially Shania Twain, carrying a flame through her hometown exciting? Sincerely,...

Dear Life, I am disappointed inf the Cord’s Top Ten Worst Films of the 2000s. Twilight or New Moon should definitely be on there. I am deeply ashamed to admit that I did in fact see New Moon with a group of people, against my will. It was the worst movie I have ever seen. I hope you can understand how horrible. Sincerely, Real Men Don’t Sparkle

Dear Life, I know I have been spending all my time in the...
