20 Things I Would Rather Do Than Read Another Article About ‘Friends,’ ‘The Office,’ Or ‘Parks And Rec’

Yes, we get it, they're good shows. Can we move on?

In This Article:

Yes, I understand that "Friends," "The Office," and "Parks and Rec" are all good shows that many people, myself included, enjoy. What I've noticed recently, however, is that Odyssey writers seem to have an obsession with these shows that goes beyond simple admiration. It seems almost as though these writers are collectively trying to describe every single aspect of life in "[insert aspect of life] As Told By [insert one of the three shows/any names of characters from the three shows here]" articles. To combat the ludicrous amount of these articles, I've decided to create an equally as ludicrous list of all the things I would rather do than ever have to see another one of them again.

1. Eat the entire world’s supply of tide pods

Yup, all of them.

2. Live in a world where Trump becomes the sole dictator of the planet

Make EARTH great again!

3. Pass a kidney stone the size of a bowling ball


I hope my family doesn't mind the agonizing scream that will be coming from the bathroom.

4. Ingest the bowling ball sized kidney stone after passing it

That would make one massive food baby after.

5. Pass the kidney stone again, this time out the other end, after swallowing it

That one would probably be messy coming out.

6. Be waterboarded 24/7

Or questioned using "enhanced interrogation techniques" 24/7. Whichever you want to call it.

7. Have to suffer the fate of Sisyphus while enduring the effects of syphilis

I'll be feeling the burn in more ways than one while pushing that boulder!

8. Have several half-rusted screws drilled through my femur

Talk about getting screwed.

9. Eat and drink nothing but human excrement for the rest of my life

And if I'm lucky, some bits of corn will be mixed in every now and then too!

10. Spend the rest of my life with every parasite known to man inside and on me

"crawwwling innn my skinnn" (shoutout to Linkin Park).

11. Be eaten alive by a giant swarm of rats

Starting with the eyes.

12. Live without any of the 5 senses

*sits in corner, not moving and facing a wall*

13. Season, prepare, and cook myself into a stew for a tribe of cannibals

Don't forget the salt!

14. Sever my own arm with a jagged rock

Just to one up Aron Ralston who had to use his pocket knife.

15. Slowly insert needles into my eyes until their entire surface area is covered

Kinda like Pinhead, just only in the eyes and a lot more needles.

16. Wrap my genitals in barbed wire then corrode them with acid

Because barbed wire alone just isn't enough!

17. Dig my molars out of my mouth with a toothbrush shiv

Mostly because I like the irony there.

18. Go through the entire Passion of Jesus Christ, ending in my own crucifixion

Trust me, I'm not rising from the dead after that one.

19. Drink molten lead

I could have picked any metal, but I like the toxicity associated with lead.

20. Read literally anything else. Seriously, you aren't getting any clicks from me

This probably isn't the most shocking thing on the list.

Ten Truths Every Honors Student Knows

One of the main reasons I came to Salem State was I was offered a spot in the honors program. While it offered many benefits, scholarships and priority registration to name a few, what drew me in was the strong sense of community and close knit friendships many found. I am glad to say that that I did find these things, and so much more. I found a home made up of some of the most brilliant and most unique people I have ever met. Being in an honors program creates a college experience unlike any other and creates some universal truths that really only an honors student can fully understand.

8 Things I Realized After My First Semester In College

Actually, Kylie Jenner, 2018 is the year of realizing things.

Friends

The first semester of college is famous for being one of the most difficult transitions of one's young adult life. You're thrown into a completely new area where the majority of the people surrounding you are strangers in an academic environment that's much more challenging then what you've grown accustomed to for the past twelve years. On top of that, you probably share a room with another person (or even multiple people) on the lumpiest "mattress" you've ever slept on.

With this change comes a lot of questions: what do I want to major in? What am I passionate about? Is what I'm passionate about something I'm actually good at? Why does the bathroom smell like cranberry juice and vodka? What is that thing at the bottom of the shower drain?
