Ask an… Advisor

Dear advisor, I fell in love. But not with anybody ordinary, with a very special and unique person. But let me start from the beginning – when I started going to Kraft, my only hope was to lose some additional kilos and make my belly look flatter. To achieve that, I went there at different times of the day and [...]

Ask… Tromsø!

Dear Tromsø, I’m not going to complain or anything. Don’t worry. There’s just a few things I just need to say to you. First of all, why is the weather over you so shit? I mean, come on. Literally every day starts with sunshine and 5 minutes later there are clouds all over the sky. They appear as if from [...]

Ask… The Sun (again)

Dear Sun, So far you’ve presented us with nothing more than clouds, and we rarely see you coming out of them. I am on the verge of losing my sanity, seeing all the posts of my friends from Southern Norway and the rest of the world, already enjoying spring. I would really love to share that excitement with them, but [...]

Ask… Winter

Dear Winter, I’m sick of you. I’m not gonna lie to you — I was so happy when I found out that next week it’s gonna be warm and there’s a chance you’ll go away. Finally. Don’t get me wrong, you make everything look nicer than it actually is. And I like it. But 2 months is enough. Just go. [...]

Ask… Cupid!

Dear Cupid! What happened to you?! Are you blind or did somebody steal your bow and arrows? You don’t shoot my crushes any more, which brings me a lot of pain and sadness. I gave you names of all 9 of them and still NO ACTION! I am totally giving them signs, passing them in the university halls and looking [...]

Ask… THE SUN!

Dear Sun Hello Sun! The polar night is over and finally I get to see you again, but still you’re shy. The minutes you are “up” in the sky are already few without taking into account that most of the time it’s cloudy too! I like snow, it offers me various opportunities like skiing and falling on the ground messing [...]

Ask a Frustrated Student

Dear University, I am a student taking my second PhD in Ecology. I am writing this to you because I am fed up with how you treat me in terms of my living situation.  I applied for a student house like 9 years ago out of curiosity and since then you have written to me every 2 months to say [...]

Ask a Child

Dear Child: I’m not having any fun anymore.  Life seems listless and boring.  I’m not often inspired… I rarely laugh.  Every time I see children I feel as if I’m missing something in my life.  No, no, I don’t want kids; there’s just something about you little fuckers that makes my heart smile.  With your poofy snowsuits, your silly boots, [...]

Ask (the) Environmental Groups

Dear Environmental Groups: Its sweet lil ole Statoil writing to say…why, why, why do you hate me so much?!  My feelings are really starting to get hurt!  Every year I hold a couple of nice little conferences, trying to convince people I am not so bad, but for some reason all of you people seem to think I’m the freaking [...]

Ask a UiT School Counselor

Dear UiT School Counselor: Hi.  I have big problems and I hope you can help.  Here it is.  All of my fellow students are depressed.  And I want to be too!  Unfortunately, all I can think about are all the promises the future holds and puppies and rainbows.  My life is just too damn cheery!  I can’t help but smile [...]
