Why The Odyssey is One of the Worst Websites Ever Made

That includes your article, too

Is your idea of hard-hitting reporting an article about the top 14 spots to get your front butt raspberried at Bowling Green? Is a white girl's brave stand that there's nothing wrong with hating Mexicans because everyone has the right to an opinion what you consider daring? Do you find exquisite truth in the frantic last-minute products of journalism majors trying to put something on their resume? If you answered yes to any of those questions, you've come to the right place.

Before The Odyssey, things were different. Everyone knew that making enough to live in Manhattan by writing listicles for Buzzfeed on the 16 most life-changing Target aisles was a dream job, but no one knew how to break into this competitive field. That is, until now.

The Odyssey single-handedly democratized journalism by allowing anyone with a Facebook account and a one month Grammarly free trial to express the thoughts that the mainstream media attempted to suppress. The conglomerates used to have all the power, but those days are over. Thanks to The Odyssey, there is finally a platform for wealthy white college students to express themselves.

And don't be fooled into thinking it's all just rainbows and trust funds, either. If you need proof that The Odyssey cares about current events, just take one look at the politics and activism section. "Just Because I Think More Conservativishly Doesn't Mean I Can't Wear Sweatpants." "Dear Black People, Please Just Stop." "7 Benefits to Being a Younger Sibling." If you're wondering why we haven't seen any of this on CNN, it's because they don't want you to know the truth. Sorry, Huffington Post, but saying that white people think milk is too spicy is horrifically and unabashedly racist and the people need to know that.

But it's time to join in the revolution. Apply to create for The Odyssey and join a community of radical dreamers, ready to change the world. We've been waiting for you.

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.
