Ba Ba, Black Sheep, Have You Any Real Content?

Ba Ba, Black Sheep, Have You Any Real Content?
The Odyssey Online

Dear Black Sheep Online GMU,

Recently, I saw a photo that was posted on your Twitter account that made fun of Odyssey and its creators:


I have a few issues with this.

First, the Odyssey flag is gray, not orange, so try again. Second, as someone who has posted on Odyssey for nearly two years, not once would I tear down another platform, outlet or publication in the way in which you have. Yes, at one point I called out TSM, but I would never shame their creators, just the TSM content that shamed women. As online platforms, what we should be doing is lifting one another up, not shaming.

Would it not be much more beneficial to all parties if we simply helped one another? What if instead of bashing us, you read some of our content? What about sharing some of our stuff on your Twitter page instead of tired memes? I promise you I will do the same.

Both Odyssey and Black Sheep are creative outlets for people just like you and me, so how about you take that post down and we can start over. If you don't want to do that, I understand — but I can promise you that Odyssey creators are not the ones to mess with. We will retaliate and show you that we are much more than a chart.

If this happens to get to you and you read it, you are more than welcome to follow me on social media and I will show you what a real creator looks like.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"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.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. 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.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. 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?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever. Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
