For the most part, I love writing for Odyssey. This site gives me a well-recognized platform to share my thoughts and opinions. I get to work on my writing skills and become more confident in sharing my work with others. However, as I'm entering my sixth month writing for the site, I'll be the first to admit that writers don't always put forth their best effort on every article. Being asked to create a unique, entertaining, and totally relatable piece every week can be a challenge. So when writer's block strikes and you still need to submit something before the deadline we're left with works like "Watch These 10 Movies Before the 25th" or "We Need to Talk About Perfume Commercials". (Yes, I wrote both of those articles. No, I am not proud).

While the number of "an open letter to . . . " and "11 reasons why. . . " articles grows, so do the critics of Odyssey. And while some of the critics are downright rude, others have valid points and share them in a constructive way.

I was scrolling through my twitter feed yesterday when I saw a retweet from an account called "Odyssey Rejects". Bracing myself for another harsh criticism of the site I clicked on the handle to read more tweets and was pleasantly surprised. "Odyssey Rejects" is a hilarious spoof of Odyssey that tweets rejected titles for articles who couldn't make it past editing. And although these titles are supposed to be jokes, I did notice some totally relatable ones I would actually love to read like:

1. "How to Get That Natural Summer Glow, as Told by Donald Trump"

Is there anyone better to help you get ready for summer than a man who clearly understands the importance of self-tanner?

2. "13 Reasons Why You Shouldn't Trust Anyone Who Eats Taco Bell Before 10 p.m. While Completely Sober"

Taco Bell's meat is made out of 88 percent beef and 12 percent secret recipe. This should not be your favorite place to eat.

3. "Six Reasons We Should All Aspire to Be Like Angelica from Rugrats"

This three year old has a positive self-image, knows her worth and sets goals for herself. Despite the whole total-brat thing, not the worst role model.

4."500 Words on Summer Makeup Trends Inspired By American Horror Story: Asylum"

Finally, an eyeliner tutorial I know I can't mess up!

5. "12 Reasons Why You Should Quit School and Become a Rapper, as Told By Someone From Your Hometown"

Believe me, we all know that kid.

So go follow @OdysseyRejects on Twitter right now. And, who knows? Maybe next week you'll be reading "Why Love Isn't Real, as Told by Gordo from Lizzie McGuire".

A Few Thoughts Every College Freshman Has

The transition into adulthood is never easy

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.
