You know these stereotypes are true.

If 5 Montana Colleges Were Odyssey Articles
Revenue MT

Welcome to Montana: Big Sky Country, home to more cows than people, and probably the nicest of the redneck states. Our state car is any model of Subaru, the state dog is a Labrador or Golden Retriever, and the state shoe is the Chaco--or, unfortunately, Birkenstocks with socks. Surprising to a majority of west-coasters, we do have electricity, and we don't ride our horses to school nor do we hunt for every meal (though, by how much camo is worn around here, I don't blame you for thinking that last part)! We also happen to have a bunch of awesome colleges scattered throughout this big, beautiful state; but as awesome as they are, it's just too fun to make fun of them.

In the spirit of having a good laugh, here is what every Montana college would be if they were an Odyssey (reject) article:

1. University of Montana (Missoula)

"An Open Letter To The Football Player Who Touched Me Inappropriately"

Okay, that one was probably below the belt, but I couldn't resist. How about a less offensive one?

"My WRIT 201 Professor Got High With Us And That's Okay"

May or may not be a true story.

2. University of Great Falls


"I Was A Bench Warmer In High School But I've Learned To Love Myself" or

"11 Reasons Why Binge-Drinking Alcohol In High School Got Me To Where I Am Today"

3. Montana State University (Bozeman)

"I Wear A The North Face Jacket Even Though The Only Outdoor Activity I Participate In Is Smoking Hookah Outside, And That's Okay" and

"24 Reasons Hunting Season Should Be A National Holiday"

Freakin' outdoorsy people, right?

4. University of Montana Western


"I'm A High School Sports Star That Can't Accept That I'm A Mediocre Athlete In College" or

"How Wearing Boots And Drinking PBR Taught Me To Be A Better Cowboy"

5. Carroll College



"Adderall And Weed Are Real Drugs Which Means I'm Hard Core" and

"17 Reasons My Talent Is The Reason I'm At A Private University, Not My Daddy's Money"

What stereotypes did I miss?

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
