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.

In honor of Mother’s Day, I have been thinking of all the things my mom does for my family and me. Although I couldn’t write nearly all of them, here are a few things that moms do for us.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

Take the time to thank that one friend in your life you will never let go of.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Everybody gets sick once in a while, but getting sick while in college is the absolute worst. You're away from home and your mom who can take care of you and all you really want to do is just be in your own bed. You feel like you will have never-ending classwork to catch up on if you miss class, so you end up going sick and then it just takes longer to get better. Being sick in college is really tough and definitely not a fun experience. Here are the 15 stages that everyone ends up going through when they are sick at college.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
