Dear Life,
I donโ€™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: โ€œco-wardinatorโ€ and โ€œneccisaryโ€. How can someone insist on being an โ€œIโ€™m-smarter-and-better-than-youโ€ arrogant jerk when clearly he failed grade 6 spelling? Sincerely, Iโ€™m Sorry We Apparently Havenโ€™t Gotten the Same Quality Education as You

Dear Life,I would like to express my disappointment in the EcoHawkโ€™s poor attempt to celebrate Earth Hour. In prior years, this had been a very lively and upbeat event with lots of activities and participation. This year we just saw a bunch of people standing around looking bored. Also, what was with the needlessly elaborate sound system? Isnโ€™t Earth Hour about taking small steps to reduce our impact on the environment? Clearly someone missed the point. Sincerely, You Canโ€™t Spell Activist Without Activ(e)

Dear Life, Why does Relay For Life think it is a good idea to host their overnight event outside of a residence building? The event, staged from 7 p.m. to 7 a.m., interferes with several required hours of sleep. Why wouldnโ€™t anyone foresee loud music and awful singing blaring into peopleโ€™s bedrooms all night long as a problem? I love the cause. But I love sleep more. Next year consider a slight relocation away from a residence building. Sincerely, F that Noise

Dear Life, A couple of the professors hired at Laurier must have put on Oscar-worthy performances during their interviews, because how some of these โ€œexpertsโ€ got hired is far beyond me. I have had unorganized, disregarding profs who do not seem to care at all. Really? I could hand him a script of an episode of Two and a Half Men and heโ€™d give it an A. Bottom line: Hire more enthusiastic, creative and motivating professors who genuinely care about the issues they teach. Sincerely, If They Donโ€™t Care, Why Should I?

Dear Life, When will Laurier realize its science department is a joke? 3-hour labs done in 30 minutes? Biology with no dissections? I would like to at least pretend that weโ€™re paying for a quality education. Sincerely, Switching to UW if Things Donโ€™t Change
