As I sit here, trying to come up with unique yet not offensive content to turn in for my weekly article, I am struck with many realizations. First is the fact that as a busy college student, I am unwilling at this point in the semester to take time to do anything creative, and secondly, it wouldn't matter because without a clickable title your article will not be read.
So whether you're an avid an Odyssey reader (thanks so much by the way) or Odyssey creator, laugh with me as we make fun of something together.
10 Things I Hate About YouÂ
You must have numbers in your article, or is it even an Odyssey article? I sure can't think of an article I've written without needing to list things out.
The Gif only content
The easiest ones to write, these Buzzfeed like intelligence articles are what the internet is for. I did this one week when I was studying for a test, it's super fun to write.
The BullyÂ
There is always some controversial stance being promoted on the Odyssey main page. Whether it's about controlling what girls wear or your interesting political views, be ready to go viral.
The OffendedÂ
To combat the bully article there is always the offended. Here's one I wrote after being offended by the viral article about what girls should wear to class.
Enjoyable BreakÂ
Nothing like scrolling through Odyssey articles to start and end your day.
The So RelatableÂ
Like everything on the internet, the articles to be viral must be ridiculously relatable.
The Pop Culture ReferenceÂ
From the Grinch to the Office, these relatable characters are a great way to not quite laugh but snort through your nose (cue Bo Burnham quotes).
The Diary EntryÂ
The Odyssey is a great place to post and read self-reflections.
The LetterÂ
From the Letter to family members to past self, to friends that left, these articles are sure to be passed around and a heartfelt sentiment on your Facebook feed.
The Thoughtful Piece of ArtÂ
I am so thankful to have learned so much on this site. From takes on news to college specific articles and reflections, I can't wait to see where this site grows.
