Universe-ish with a T minus the SHHH

Dear Frank,
This semester please try a little harder at university. I know you could have achieved much better results last semester had you TRIED. Yes, you passed, but honestly, you can do better. You got two fours and two fives for your classes. That means you just did a bit better than passing.
I know that's all well and fine and some people would be perfectly happy with that, but the fact is, Frank, you are capable of much more. I know this, because I observed you many times throughout the semester slacking off. You slept through many lectures, skipped half of your tutorials for once class and did nearly all of you work the night before it was due.
You submitted one of your news stories, due at midnight, at 11:40pm. That same night. Yes it was in on time, but I know it wasn't possibly the best you could have done, especially seeing as you started writing it at around 10pm THAT SAME NIGHT.
PLEASE don't do this again.
If you have to write essays, write them, EDIT THEM, make them RELEVANT, actually bother to do the referencing properly and put all those high school essay writing lessons to good use. Honestly, you know how to write essays. Don't get any more shit marks.
And you know when I say shit marks I don't mean credits instead of high distinctions. I mean don't get any more ACTUAL shit marks.
Oh, and with regards to that group project especially, please commit yourself to getting your work done efficiently and stay organised. It's for your own good, and for the other members of your group. You don't really want them all to suffer because you can't get it together.
So Frank, please listen to what I've just said, and TRY TO DO IT.
FOCUS slightly.
Oh, and get a job.
You lazy bitch.
Love, Frank.
