The Best of "Odyssey Rejects"

The "Odyssey Rejects" (@OdysseyRejects) Twitter handle, or in my opinion, one of the funniest accounts on twitter, solely pokes fun at the "basic" or overused Odyssey article titles. This account is made up of a list of article ideas that probably wouldn't make the cut to be published for Odyssey Online. My friends and I will scroll through the account for hours laughing at each and every one of the ideas and trying to decide which one is our absolute favorite. Here are a few of the best and funniest article ideas (in my opinion).

1. ForWhen you just don't want to see what the next four years of The United Sates as a whole will be like: The 15 Best Bridges to Jump Off of After Watching the Presidential Debate

2. For When you've come to terms with your basic-ness and embrace it fully:The Day I Murdered a Girl for Spilling My Pumpkin Spice Latte on My Uggs and Why That's Okay

3. ForWhen you've gained experience about what real struggle is like: What Driving to Chick Fil A on a Sunday and Realizing it Was Closed Taught Me About World Hunger

4. ForWhen you just kinda wanna feel like a dad for a while: 15 Reasons Why New Balances are the Shoes of the Summer

5. ForWhen drinking seems to be the only way to gain knowledge about other heritages: What Throwing Up Tequila on Cinco de Mayo Taught Me About the Mexican Culture

6. For When you realized you wouldn't be where you are today without the support (likes) you've received through out your journey:How Lifting Changed My Life, as Told by the Guy Who Can't Go to the Gym Without Posting a Mirror Selfie on Snapchat

7. ForWhen you feel really connected to your ancestors:What Staying off of Social Media for 24 Hours Taught Me About Being a Pilgrim

There you have it, the best of the Odyssey Rejects. To my fellow writers: I expect to see a few of these written for next week!

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.

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.
