Dear Life,

Turns out WLUSU isn't the only campus department with corrupt hiring processes.

Sincerely,

Biases Bug Me

Dear Life,

It would be nice if I could just have a nice dinner at Wilf's without feeling rushed and getting crappy service. It would be nice if it didn't take 40 minutes for a burger, and I didn't have a server looking over my shoulder as I put in a tip. Good riddance Wilf's, you make me happy to graduate.

Sincerely,

Dear Life, Why must the girls’ washroom in the science building always smell like poop? I’m sure I’m not the only one who wishes they could get in and out of there without the after-effects of someone unloading a fresh one.

Sincerely Yay pepto-bismal

Dear Life, The Cord should start including Sudoku. I like a challenge in my weekly paper!

Dear Life, Can you please tell people that Atheism is NOT a religion! I can’t tell you how... Read more

Dear Life, Please watch over our two feathery friends, the two geese who now call WLU home. How heartwarming it is to see that these beautiful creatures trust our community enough to nest, lay eggs and attempt to raise goslings. I LOVE how our students leave them be, maybe feed them or simply enjoy their company! It has come to my attention that WLU grounds staff actually spray the baby eggs so the fetus’ actually die within the shell, but... Read more

Dear Life, Why is Mr. Water in SBE down?!?

Sincerely, I’m thirsty

Dear Life, Why does Laurier think sliding doors are necessary and that I’m too lazy to open doors?

Sincerely, ijustwantmycouchesback

Dear Life, Power outage, classes cancelled, baked goods on sale for one dollar at dining hall, best day ever!!

Dear Life, So with reading week comes the chance to visit your old high schools and talk about your university experience through the welcome centre. Several days after calling my former high school, sending countless e-mails, I finally get a reply (three days past the deadline) saying that they are not interested, and no longer affiliate with university type fairs or promotions of any sort. The e-mail came from my moody insane former guidance councilor who is a Laurier graduate... Read more

Dear Laurier Memes It’s been a week and already you have become an afterthought, why are we all so susceptible to Internet fads? Are our attention spans so short it would make the family from Little People Big World feel good about themselves? You have gone the way of Like a Little, Overheard at Laurier, and Jenny Solda’s campaign. Sincerely, Not a child of the ADD generation

Dear Life, Love is patient, love is kind. It doesn’t envy, it doesn’t... Read more

Dear Life, From the article about International News not taking flex anymore, it said “An interview request sent to the OneCard office was declined.” No shit.

Sincerely, Just because you work at the OneCard office doesnt mean you own the world ...

Dear Life, Screw interdepartmental fights. As a business kid I LOVE my music roommates who serenade me to sleep every night with jam sessions including, but not limited to, the Backstreet Boys, Katy Perry and Disney. (And my... Read more

Dear Life, Please inform my two roommates that when they kiss, we can hear them. Anywhere in the house. They kiss excessively loud. Let them know that when we cough awkwardly, it’s because we can hear them and it’s making us uncomfortable. Like, hearing your parents have sex UNCOMFORTABLE. These incessant slurping noises disturb us, and haunt the halls of this majestic home. I’m afraid of the 2nd floor of my house, for fear of hearing them.

Sincerely, We Can... Read more

Dear Life,

Lately this term I have been hearing a lot of racial slurs and comments at the new lab by the Hub. Comments like “I only want brown people in my group, ‘cause those whites just don’t get us” “No, only Muslims, no white guys in our group” or “I just can’t relate to white people.” Three days later, same place, I hear “I make it a point to only hang out with Muslim people.”

Just to let you... Read more

Dear Life, Reading that posting about Christmas presents in Africa being a bad idea because “Muslims don’t celebrate Christmas” upset me. In addition to Christianity and Islam, there are also a variety of traditional African religions across the continent. Being against Christmas presents in Africa because “Muslims don’t celebrate Christmas” ignores practitioners of traditional African religions completely. Why is avoiding offending Muslims so much more important than avoiding offending them? Regardless, I think it’s a ridiculous thing to complain about,... Read more

Dear Life,

After being a student for many years at Laurier and having to endure the continued influx of students, lack of study space and library hours that are staff-focused, not student-focused. I typically avoid campus due to these reasons even though I pay exorbitant amounts to use campus resources. I arrived on campus at 7 a.m. on a Friday to get in some quiet study time prior to my 8:30 a.m. tutorial. I was looking forward to the typically... Read more

Dear @thegayhunter,

It was over 140 characters because it wasn’t a tweet, it was a Dear Life. There’s a difference between the real world, and your fantasy Twitter land. It’s sad you had to use Dear Life to promote your twitter account (@thegayhunter is real for anyone who cares).

Sincerely,

Dear Life (literally),

I really hope you don't end soon. However I've come close recently because of the insane drivers going 100 km/h down Bricker and Ezra. Please do me a favour and try not to run me over, and maybe slow down?

Sincerely,

I hope your shitty old car breaks down.

Dear twitterisformetostalkmyfriendandcelebritiesnotlistentoyourdumbshit,

That was WAY more than 140 characters #WorstTweetEver #URTheDumbestIdiot

Dear Laurier,

A million thanks to all the people who came out to cheer us on. Never have we ever felt like such champions.

Sincerely,

The greatest team to never win

Dear Second Floor Bricker Student,

Please remember to close your curtains next time you decide to get down and dirty with the lights on. Walking from my car to the library at night has never been so entertaining!

Thanks for the peep show

Dear Music Students,

Here take my change, you can put it in your guitar case. Think of it as a head start, an investment in your future.

Dear Life,

I wish the hate towards arts students would stop.

Sincerely,

I'm not a Laurier science student who has UW staring them in the face across the street everyday

Dear Life,

Thank you for deciding to major in... Read more

Dear Life,

I’m a BBA student and most of my friends are arts, science and music majors.

Sincerely,

We’re Not All Douchebags

Dear Life,

Arts is not a major.

Sincerely,

History student preparing for law school

Dear Life,

To the people who keep bashing other majors, grow up! How about instead of making fun of other people you focus on making yourself a half decent person who has some respect for others.

Sincerely,

I thought Laurier was a community
