A Breakup Letter To MUSE

It's not me, it's you.

A Breakup Letter To MUSE
Michael Nocella

Dear MUSE,

I'm sorry, but I don't think this is working out. It's not me, it's you. You're a little outdated, and I feel it's time for you to go. You're causing too many problems for both my creators and myself, and it's pretty unfair.

You don't show page views, so creators can't see how well their articles are doing or to see if they need to share an article more often than they usually would. There are creators that don't know their articles are taking off who then don't take advantage of this. These articles have the potential to go viral, so seeing how many page views they are getting is a beneficial tool to the creators. Seeing page views is also a very satisfying aspect of creating content, because the creator can see just how many people are reading what they have to say.

You're also not helping out in the grammar department. Both creators and editors put time into submitting and editing their team's articles only to have missing punctuation (apostrophes seem to go missing the most). When there is a lack of punctuation in the articles that are automatically posted on Odyssey's website, as well as the creators' Facebook and Twitter pages, it is not an accurate representation of the creator's work. Missing punctuation makes both the creators and editors seem lazy and unprofessional.

These are only two of the many issues I have with you, MUSE. You create messes that tech support is left to clean up. I don't care if it's a glitch or a hacker, you have too many issues. I wish I could say it's time for us to break up, but I'm still left relying on you to get my own content in and edit my team's work.

Sincerely,

A Frustrated EIC

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.

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.
