Dear Roundup,
After attending classes at Pierce for the last year, it has become clear many of you are simply consuming the oxygen others need to live.
You come to class late or not at all. You are not prepared.
You do not take notes and doze off.
Then you drop with no penalty. You have wasted the life’s’ breath of education. What are you doing here?
You have taken a classroom seat a serious student could have occupied.
You cause instructors to have classes shrink by one-half while they could be teaching more com¬mitted students.
You show up wearing hats you refuse to remove and pants and to cover your derriere. (A sight no one on campus wants to see, really.) Who are you emulating? You can barely walk with your waistband around your thighs.
Stand aside. Come back if you are willing to make an invest¬ment in yourself and stop wasting everyone’s time and money. If you are unwilling to develop academi¬cally, do you think an athletic team or music promoter would consider betting on you?
McDonald’s is still hiring. Waste the oxygen there.
