A Letter To My Crappy Student Housing Complex

Here's What You Should Know

A Letter To My Crappy Student Housing Complex
Brandon Griggs

You guys suck! One of the only reasons I am excited to graduate in May is to get out of dodge because this last year has been stressful. I never hear horror stories from my friends about where they are living. I never hear stories about fans falling from the ceilings nearly killing them. And I for sure never hear about getting charged for rent late, not once but twice followed by being charged double the next month. Then when confronted, of course it is my, the resident’s, fault. I’m sorry, but last time I checked I was not working to the apartment complex and in control over my balance. But hey I will pay, no worries. I can’t even get a discount for my inconvenience.

It’s one disaster after another. My roommate met a guy a few days ago that said that he is being charged for living here and he doesn’t even have a key to an apartment. It sounds familiar because you guys keep leaving mail for someone who doesn’t even live here on our door steps. And I can only assume you think this girl lives in our apartment when she doesn’t. I can’t wait until you find out so that you can blame us, the residents, for not sharing that piece of information. But short of not wanting a random roommate, we don’t find that it is any of our business to inform you all that we have an empty room in our place of dwelling.

All in all I need the customer service to be better. If I say that I need my garbage disposal fixed, I don’t want to have to wait a whole week to have to get that done. If I put in a request that have something placed in my apartment, it shouldn’t take two weeks to have it arrive. If we are suppose to have a fire extinguisher in our apartment, why don’t we have one? I need Campus View Apartments to get it together and quick because your residents will not be putting up with it for too much longer.

Sincerely,

A Displeased Tenant

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
