If you don't follow @OdysseyRejects on Twitter, do yourself a favor and hit that up. They come up with hilarious ideas for Odyssey articles as a joke. After searching through all 179 tweets, I found one similar to this.

1. He goes by many names.

Do you address him by his real name? Is a nickname okay? Or his professional name?

2. He cares about his kids.

Your dad wishes he could be so articulate.

3. He has strong political views.

Eminem is very vocal about his dislike for Trump, and your dad is vocal about everything political.

4. He's won awards.

Shady's Grammys ain't got nothing on your dad's fourth place bowling trophy.

5. He's a pun master.

*groans*

6. He's the king.

Eminem was named the King of Hip-Hop by Rolling Stones magazine in 2011. Your dad says he's king of the house.

7. He knows fashion.

Oh, he can dress well, but he chooses not to.

8. Other kids wish he was their dad.

They'll even go so far as to claim he is their dad.

9. His favorite video game is Donkey Kong.

What is it about a monkey and barrels?

10. He gives the best advice.

So wise.

11. He can cook.

Eminem once worked as a short-order cook. Your dad can turn on a grill.

12. He's a leader.

When asked why he doesn't follow anyone on Twitter, Shady responded with: "Always be a leader, not a follower." I'm sure your dad leads something.

13. He has a wide vocabulary.

Your dad uses words like incidentally and authoritative. Eminem has used about 9,000 unique words in his raps.

14. He knows what kids like.

Not only does he know what they like, but he encourages their likes.

15. He doesn't like computers.

He doesn't want to spend all day on that machine. He has better things to do.

16. He has strong feelings about Vanilla Ice.

You can't tell if your dad likes him or not, but Eminem has called him "fake".

17. He likes to yell.

He likes to make sure his point gets accross, and the best way to do that is to yell.

18. He's the greatest.

Both your dad and Eminem are the best, and they know it.


Now you can say your dad is officially as cool as Eminem!

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
