Help University employees

by being clean, responsible
There is nothing quite like walking into a recycling station and coming within inches of stepping in a big pile of crap. I don’t mean Toto left a present for Dorothy, but right beneath my partner’s feet is a big pile of nasty human excrement. What follows does not apply to most of the students here, but for those who act like this — grow up!
Last I checked, we’re all college students and shouldn’t have to deal with this. I have a work-study job, attend classes and have a family, so the last thing I need is to not be able to do my job because some fool decides it’ll be funny to lay a load at our feet. If this was isolated, I wouldn’t be writing this, but in the last week we’ve had people puking in the recycling barrels and throwing trash on the ground while being kind enough to leave a note asking us to clean up the mess.
Maybe you’re here spending Mommy and Daddy’s money on classes in underwater basket-weaving, but you don’t need to make life hell for the work-study students who are trying to live on minimum wage and complete college. It took some brains to be accepted to this school, so use ’em and give the employees on this campus a break.
