Dear Hamster Helga,

Why is Amherst’s HerCampus such a piece of shit compared to other HerCampus chapters? Seriously, do the people who write this crap go to Amherst or are they still in 5th grade?

Sincerely, EmbarassedToGoHere

Dear EmbarassedToGoHere,

First, I would just like to commend you on your bravery. It takes a great deal of courage to voice your constructive criticism in an anonymous forum. Kudos to you.

Second, I would like to ask you the same question – do YOU go to Amherst? Are we not taught to be leaders and show initiative in the classroom and in our own lives as Amherst students? If you have an issue with the HerCampus writers, why not try and voice your opinions in a constructive manner? Better yet, why don’t you become a writer for HerCampus and produce articles that are more to your liking?

To answer your question directly – all of the HerCampus writers are intelligent and compassionate Amherst students who graduated from the fifth grade a long time ago. You, on the other hand, clearly missed out on some valuable lessons in Kindergarten, such as the importance of treating others with dignity and respect. Might want to to Sparknote that one ;)

Sincerely, Hamster Helga

P.S. The “H” is silent…nah, just kidding!
