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.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

Power of Love Letters

I don't think I say it enough...

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
