People, the library is for studying not talking to your friends on your cell phone. And if you do get a call, tell them you will call them back or step outside or somewhere away from where people are studying, don't just sit there and talk in a normal speaking voice.

I know it is the first week of school and everyone is stressed, but student employees deserve respect. We are all trying to figure our schedules out and buy books just like everyone else. All we ask is that you be patient and chill out.

To my roommate who is always extremely hot: It is officially January and still gets cold at night. Turn the air conditioner off and stop turning me into an icicle. If you want some cold air, open your windows.

I get so sick and tired of ECU students complaining about hard exams, 8 a.m. classes and doing work on the first day of classes. You are supposed to be here to learn. If not, drop out so someone who wants to be here can have your spot. By the way, on a 10-point scale, a 79 is a C. If you want a B, earn it. Don't expect your professor to give you something you didn't earn.

Why is it that we all take dating so serious? Look at it like this - many of us get in relationships that last roughly two years and we move on. During this time, our partner is the best thing that ever happened to us. But now that I am by myself, I can't believe that I went out with her.

By no means am I a better driver then the rest of my fellow residents of North Carolina, but I do have something over them. I use my turn signals in parking lots, turning lanes, four-way-stop intersections and on all thoroughfare, highways and freeways. I'd rather not raise my insurance because of a preventable fender bender. Just asking for some common courtesy folks. That's all.

Come on, folks, if a person doesn't look at you, doesn't talk to you and tries to avoid you, then they don't want a flier.

Tell me, how do you ask someone on a date that you have a crush on? Do you just walk up to him and do the strange girl routine and just ask him out? Or do you invite him to a comedy show because you have an extra ticket? Either way it goes, you are still the strange girl desperate for a date.

Spring semester has started and so have the fashion shows. I wonder if all of these fashions will continue throughout the semester or just fizzle by the end of January like most New Year's resolutions.

Attention, ladies: If you're lonely, maybe you should try being less competitive.

Why does my advisor tell me to take a 3000 level course when a 1000 level one would fufill my elective requirement?

I hate Hybrid cars! The only reason people have them is to show off. They don't get better gas mileage under normal driving conditions, they have anemic performance, poor resale value, cost three grand more (on average) than a gasser, are prone to brake down, complicated to repair, the cost of replacement batteries is insane and you have to pay to dispose of the batteries when you get rid of the car. Hybrids are all hype.

Why spend $150 on Microsoft when you can download a free MS-Office compatible suite from Open Office?

Why do people still buy $70 used textbooks from the student store and UBE when

you can buy them for half the price at online stores?

Why the heck are you required to have a driver's licsence to take driver's education?

New SAT analogy: Monica Lewinsky is to Bill Clinton as Tony Blair is to President Bush.

Would this North Carolina weather please make up its mind?

Why is James Pinkney not enrolled this semester?
