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.

When you were little, your parents probably told you television makes your brain rot so you wouldn't watch it for twelve straight hours. However, I feel we can learn some pretty valuable stuff from television shows. "The Office," while a comedy, has some pretty teachable moments thrown in there. You may not know how to react in a situation where a co-worker does something crazy (like put your office supplies in jello) but thanks to "The Office," now you'll have an idea how to behave ifsomething like that should happen.

Here are just a few of the things that religious Office watchers can expect to learn.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

Books were always about understanding for me, about learning the way someone else sees, about connection.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

I keep making this joke whenever the idea of books is brought up: "God, I wish I knew how to read." It runs parallel to another stupid phrase, as I watch my friends struggle through their calculus classes late at night in our floor lounge: "I hope this is the year that I learn to count." They're both truly idiotic expressions, but, when I consider the former, I sometimes wonder if there's some truth to it.
