If 5 Montana Colleges Were Odyssey Articles

You know these stereotypes are true.

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?

Being Invisible The Best Super Power

The best superpower ever? Being invisible of course. Imagine just being able to go from seen to unseen on a dime. Who wouldn't want to have the opportunity to be invisible? Superman and Batman have nothing on being invisible with their superhero abilities. Here are some things that you could do while being invisible, because being invisible can benefit your social life too.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:
