Dear College Humor Girl:
What were you thinking?
Now that you are "published" are you going to put that on your resume? You might as well.
The way our school's reputation has been trashed in recent years in Playboy (#3 Party School), Abercrombie & Fitch (#1 Slacker School) and now College Humor, a T-shirt from Spring Break in Cancun will have more value than a Rollins diploma.
One of these days you are eventually going to have to apply for a job. Instead of a party school, wouldn't you rather have a prospective employer think of Rollins as the #1 school in the South?
I'm not saying you shouldn't have fun while you're at school. Go ahead and take topless pictures of yourself (and feel free to email them to me). Drink yourself into a coma every weekend. Go ahead and experiment with mind expanding, um, books.
It just pisses me off that you're harming the reputation of my Alma Mater, which in turn has a direct effect on my earning potential.
Editor's Note: Villagomez is referring to an image that was posted on CollegeHumor.com depicting a Rollins College student in a seductive nude pose with the message, "Rollins College Loves CH.com," written in body paint across her chest. We have the determined that it would be inappropriate to reprint that image and it is no longer available on CollegeHumor.com.
