Dear Critic,
I’m sorry but seriously what the fuck is wrong with people in central library this year?? Why are the suicide pods absolutely filthy like how hard is it to clean up after yourself? And all the fucking freshers talking so loudly about hubs and physics it’s a library stop talking so loudly. Also what is with people booking study rooms and not showing up? People need to sort their shit out and sleep somewhere where nobody can hear you snore.
Sincerely a seriously pissed off third year
Kia ora Critic,
It is not news to anyone that supermarket prices are through the roof and still climbing. And yet my flatmates and I are still the ONLY students I see regularly attending the community gardens in NEV. So this is a PSA to everyone reading: check out your nearest community garden!
I cannot emphasise enough what a difference this will make to your grocery bill. Free produce every week and free afternoon tea with other lovely volunteers (more of which are desperately needed). Our recent hauls have been in the form of runner beans, apples, pears, fresh herbs, and like 10kg of potatoes.
Not to mention getting outside is great for you, and there’s always plenty left over for the local pātaka kai, so regardless of your financial position it’s generally a super valuable way to spend your time—but given the stress a lot of students are under right now it’s a no brainer.
Sincerely,
Potato lover
Hello,
Just wanted to write in and say I've been loving the recent Critic covers, would love to see some of them added to the poster catalogue (shut up and take my money etc). You guys have a great roster of illustrators and they're all doing amazing work. Thank you for all the effort you put in, obviously it has been tough with recent changes and an ever critical student body, just wanted to let you know it doesn't go unappreciated, and beats Salient any day.
