If the writer of this public service announcement had Angela‘s gall, she would have printed up flyers and handed them out to offenders in person. Instead, she (and yes, I’m making the outrageous assumption here that it’s a she) just posted it in the elevator of her Columbia University dorm…without spell-checking her work first. People, seriously?
Unless, of course, this was all part of a larger prank pairing the phone number of some unsuspecting victim with this oh-so-compelling pitch (“learn how this will improve your LIFE + GRADES”) and placing it within easy firing range of drunk college students. Then, well…then you’d be an even bigger arsehole.

It must be early in the semester if this is all she has to be bitchy about. Has no one yet puked in the hall and left it?

So, when you call you have to start with, “People, seriously! You dress like slobs!”? Why does this sound like a set-up?

Well if she’s embar(e)assed, when is she on the elevator?

I would really love some lessons on appearance from the creator of this atrocity.

I am more annoyed at the Inconsistent CAPITALIZATION Scheme than anything else. Also the first sentence is a fragment.

If her dressing sense is analogous to that note then she would be the worst offender in the college. This ugly note has random mix of small and capital letters, inconsistent font size and totally inefficient use of space. It’s like pairing blue and white plaid miniskirt with a black and white checkered blouse and of course knee high yellow-red clown socks .

Exactly how does dressing better improve your grades? Does the professor begin to notice you for your snazzy wardrobe, then you start sleeping with him, thus improving your grade? It must be hell to start all that over when the new semester begins.

Maybe she left the 2nd ‘r’ behind in Guadalajara on her Junior year abroad.
avergonzado = embarrassed
embarazado = pregnant

Okay, this was a stupid thing to do for any group, but she did it to college students: people who tend to have a lot of time and motivation to make mischief. And she GAVE OUT HER PHONE NUMBER.
Probably: either she had to get her cell number changed, or the people in that dorm will be getting unsolicited calls for years.

Proper dress is essential to good classroom performance.
I know this because in elementary school my teachers always used to tell us to put on our thinking caps.

I work on a college campus, and some of the students do dress like slobs.
Thankfully, most of the women dress like sluts. It’s a sort of un-published benefit to balance out the crap pay. I claimed “random crotch flashes” on my tax return this year.

I detect the decided lack of every-day college dorm vocabulary, calling the origins of this note into question: annoying, retarded, moron, awkward, whack — for starters. At Columbia, this would be a pathetic attempt by a freshman who was admitted thanks to mommy and daddy’s donations, at best.
Me? I’m going with a 7th grade girl at a high-brow boarding school with no weed to smoke on a Friday night and the phone number of the fat kid next door. Those bitches never change.

Team note writer. I’m glad to be out of college. People would show up to class so badly dressed, and not showered O O, that many of my professors had to give lectures on proper dress for the work force. I laughed my ass off when some of my “classmates” sat there with there mouths hanging open as they learned you can’t wear jeans in the corporate world. I wish people, of all ages, would put some thought into the clothes they wear. Slapping on some make up wouldn’t hurt either, but that’s another note. *Gets paper and marker*

nothing like catty private school students to remind us why we suck. I hope her dorm-mates prank-called the hell out of that number.

It’s a college dorm. You know, where you live when you are going to school? I don’t know about the rest of you but I tried to save dressing to the nines for evenings out, not evenings in. People, Seriously!
Unless it’s a really special evening in…..
