How To Vibe | The Odyssey Online
Start writing a post

Vibing is essential to the college experience. Whether its kicking back after a short day of class, or having a lazy Sunday watching Johnny Foozball kill it with your boys, vibing is a necessity. To most of us, hanging out and chilling is natural and easy. It is just what we do. Unfortunately, there are those select few who just don't know what they are doing.  You know those guys that always find a way to kill the high. So if you are reading this and have some doubt about your social vibing skills, check out these easy steps to help stop being a buzzkill.

MUSIC IS KEY

I can't reiterate this enough, music is key. Being able to DJ any situation at any time is a must. Not only do you need to keep great playlists on your phone at all times, you need to make sure they offer great variety. These portable set lists make impromptu DJ'ing an ease and will help prevent the terrible sin of playing a vibe killing song. 

MOVE SLOOOOOOOOWWWWWW 

I am little worried that this article is putting off the idea that you have to play songs that everyone else wants, and you have to disregard your own vibes. Don't worry, playing your own music style is extremely important. The issue is that sometimes your style is vastly different from the music currently being played. In order to avoid playing a song at the wrong time and ruining the session, ease into the new genre slowly. BRING YOUR OWN GOODS.  If you are showing up to a new vibe you need to make sure you bring your own goods. It's always nice to show up with a nice Juicy J. And hey, a 6 pack of nice beer doesn't hurt, but we all know a case of it is even better. Breaking the ice can be hard sober, so prepare yourself and bring your own goods. Remember, no one likes a mooch. Don't be a peasant. 

FINAL WARNING 

Vibes sometimes decide to take a mind of their own and turn into a full fledged party. Don't let the few hours of "chilling" and drinking slow you down. Are you really going to be that guy that is half asleep looking at his phone the whole night? Or even worse, the guy who locks himself in the bathroom for 30 minutes puking his brains out. It sounds simple enough, but every group has their one hit wonder. So please, don't be that guy. 

In conclusion, don't be a dumb ass. Vibing may take some practice, but the end result is well worth it. Be prepared to party.

7 Ways to Make Your Language More Transgender and Nonbinary Inclusive

With more people becoming aware of transgender and non-binary people, there have been a lot of questions circulating online and elsewhere about how to be more inclusive. Language is very important in making a space safer for trans and non-binary individuals. With language, there is an established and built-in measure of whether a place could be safe or unsafe. If the wrong language is used, the place is unsafe and shows a lack of education on trans and non-binary issues. With the right language and education, there can be more safe spaces for trans and non-binary people to exist without feeling the need to hide their identities or feel threatened for merely existing.

Blair Waldorf
Stop Hollywood

For those of you who have watched "Gossip Girl" before (and maybe more than just once), you know how important of a character Blair Waldorf is. Without Blair, the show doesn’t have any substance, scheme, or drama. Although the beginning of the show started off with Blair’s best friend Serena returning from boarding school, there just simply is no plot without Blair. With that being said, Blair’s presence in the show in much more complex than that. Her independent and go-getter ways have set an example for "Gossip Girl" fans since the show started and has not ended even years after the show ended. Blair never needed another person to define who she was and she certainly didn’t need a man to do that for her. When she envisioned a goal, she sought after it, and took it. This is why Blair’s demeanor encompasses strong women like her.
