Gaining notoriety at a moderate pace, the Twitter account @UhartPromlems has been tweeting and retweeting both ridiculous and legitimate issues about the University.

Although the culprits behind the account are unknown on the page, the conversation seems to border on funny complaints and outrageous comments. With over 200 followers, @UhartProblems is shedding light on what the students have to say about the University both academically and residentially.

Serving as more of an outlet for students to vent rather than offer solutions to problems, the content is still somewhat inappropriate and revealing none-the less.

“Blackout drunk jamming to ke$ha” doesn’t really seem like a University problem, but more of a poor individual choice if it was meant to be serious.

“We need to get some more school spirit, fellow hawks. There were more parents than students at the basket ball game today #uhartproblems,” the account tweeted. Probably one of the more legitimate tweets from the account, the issue seems to be one that plagues our University, lack of school spirit.

Where the account loses its chances for credibility, not that I think the creator cares at all, comes with retweets from students who clearly violate university policy.

“All health and safety inspections mean to me is not smoking in my apartment and hiding the 35 liquor bottles sitting on my desk #uhartproblems,” user @oxxerinnnn tweeted.

A revealing and probably ignorant move to make by students is tweeting that they’re clearly doing something they’re not suppose to do. The Internet isn’t a secret and it’s student’s choice whether they want to reveal private information or not. While mildly amusing @UhartProblems is offensive and a little dangerous as Twitter users names are attached to their handles unless manually removed.

The account doesn’t seem to have any goals or objectives but I doubt that is what it was created for. Harnessing some potential to improve the quality of residential life and conditions on campus, the account has the power to rally students together to better the University if approached properly.

The ridiculousness emerges with tweets such as “Class #thingsweallhate #UhartProblems.”

After all, we are in college and last time I checked, going to class is required to earn a degree in a respected field of study.

An interesting and new attempt at raising concerns @UhartProblems lacks grammatical consistency and the ability to filter what could potentially hurt students it retweets and talks about.
