A few weeks ago, my friend Catherine sent me a tweet from this account called @OdysseyRejects. The account appears to have been created to sort of mock The Odyssey, but as a writer for the website I found myself laughing so hard at the tweets that I had tears streaming down my face and I'm sure my neighbors were wondering what was going on. While some of the tweets are absolutely absurd, I found myself wondering if some of them could be turned into actual articles, and that's exactly how "21 Faces We All Make On The First Day of School, As Told By Gibby From 'iCarly'" came to be. Also, if it isn't totally obvious by now, this is an entirely satirical piece.
