20 Things I Would Rather Do Than Read Another Article About ‘Friends,’ ‘The Office,’ Or ‘Parks And Rec’

Yes, we get it, they're good shows. Can we move on?

Yes, I understand that "Friends," "The Office," and "Parks and Rec" are all good shows that many people, myself included, enjoy. What I've noticed recently, however, is that Odyssey writers seem to have an obsession with these shows that goes beyond simple admiration. It seems almost as though these writers are collectively trying to describe every single aspect of life in "[insert aspect of life] As Told By [insert one of the three shows/any names of characters from the three shows here]" articles. To combat the ludicrous amount of these articles, I've decided to create an equally as ludicrous list of all the things I would rather do than ever have to see another one of them again.

1. Eat the entire world’s supply of tide pods

Yup, all of them.

2. Live in a world where Trump becomes the sole dictator of the planet

Make EARTH great again!

3. Pass a kidney stone the size of a bowling ball


I hope my family doesn't mind the agonizing scream that will be coming from the bathroom.

4. Ingest the bowling ball sized kidney stone after passing it

That would make one massive food baby after.

5. Pass the kidney stone again, this time out the other end, after swallowing it

That one would probably be messy coming out.

6. Be waterboarded 24/7

Or questioned using "enhanced interrogation techniques" 24/7. Whichever you want to call it.

7. Have to suffer the fate of Sisyphus while enduring the effects of syphilis

I'll be feeling the burn in more ways than one while pushing that boulder!

8. Have several half-rusted screws drilled through my femur

Talk about getting screwed.

9. Eat and drink nothing but human excrement for the rest of my life

And if I'm lucky, some bits of corn will be mixed in every now and then too!

10. Spend the rest of my life with every parasite known to man inside and on me

"crawwwling innn my skinnn" (shoutout to Linkin Park).

11. Be eaten alive by a giant swarm of rats

Starting with the eyes.

12. Live without any of the 5 senses

*sits in corner, not moving and facing a wall*

13. Season, prepare, and cook myself into a stew for a tribe of cannibals

Don't forget the salt!

14. Sever my own arm with a jagged rock

Just to one up Aron Ralston who had to use his pocket knife.

15. Slowly insert needles into my eyes until their entire surface area is covered

Kinda like Pinhead, just only in the eyes and a lot more needles.

16. Wrap my genitals in barbed wire then corrode them with acid

Because barbed wire alone just isn't enough!

17. Dig my molars out of my mouth with a toothbrush shiv

Mostly because I like the irony there.

18. Go through the entire Passion of Jesus Christ, ending in my own crucifixion

Trust me, I'm not rising from the dead after that one.

19. Drink molten lead

I could have picked any metal, but I like the toxicity associated with lead.

20. Read literally anything else. Seriously, you aren't getting any clicks from me

This probably isn't the most shocking thing on the list.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

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.

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

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.
