Calm down, things
aren't that bad
I am a fellow third
year student at Cal State Long Beach and I'm writing in response
to your exaggerated and conservative biased article "Opinion:
Our View, some tips for students" (Sept. 10).
Give me a break.
If you people are that annoyed, seek therapy. Life shouldn't
be taken so seriously. If the cell phone goes off, you'll
live. If people come late and accidentally step on you feet,
you'll live.
If people dress
up for school, what does that have to do with you? If someone
wants to go to class with spiked up purple hair or five-inch
platforms. Let them.
Whatever happened
to freedom of expression? Dress up and dressing down, according
to whose definition?
Since when is it
a crime to ask a professor a question? Why would you even
point that out? It's ridiculous. Are you better than the student
that asks questions? We aren't know-it-alls. College is to
question and learn. Unless you're a stuck-up pretentious know-it-all,
you don't belong in a college.
Not everyone in
college seek a cookie cutter life. People are here for different
reasons. Let people be themselves. Stop complaining about
how they dress.
It's all about
individual freedom of expression. College is more about learning
tolerance than it is about anything else.
I hope that not
all students take life so seriously as in the viewpoint of
the On-line Forty-Niner because they don't speak for me. I
actually believe in freedom of expression and defying limitations.
The greatest tips
for students are: RELAX and LAUGH at ourselves every now and
then.
