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…

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…

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…

Was Darwin wrong?: There is a creationist museum in Kentucky founded on the belief that dinosaurs and humans co-existed. According to exhibits in the museum, dinosaurs lived in the Garden of Eden, were on Noah’s Ark and refrained from eating other animals (they were vegans) until Adam and Eve ate from the Tree of Knowledge.…

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…
