Ba Ba, Black Sheep, Have You Any Real Content?
The Odyssey Online

Dear Black Sheep Online GMU,

Recently, I saw a photo that was posted on your Twitter account that made fun of Odyssey and its creators:


I have a few issues with this.

First, the Odyssey flag is gray, not orange, so try again. Second, as someone who has posted on Odyssey for nearly two years, not once would I tear down another platform, outlet or publication in the way in which you have. Yes, at one point I called out TSM, but I would never shame their creators, just the TSM content that shamed women. As online platforms, what we should be doing is lifting one another up, not shaming.

Would it not be much more beneficial to all parties if we simply helped one another? What if instead of bashing us, you read some of our content? What about sharing some of our stuff on your Twitter page instead of tired memes? I promise you I will do the same.

Both Odyssey and Black Sheep are creative outlets for people just like you and me, so how about you take that post down and we can start over. If you don't want to do that, I understand — but I can promise you that Odyssey creators are not the ones to mess with. We will retaliate and show you that we are much more than a chart.

If this happens to get to you and you read it, you are more than welcome to follow me on social media and I will show you what a real creator looks like.

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:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
