I'm Running Out Of Original Content

What do you do when you're running out of ideas (asking for a friend)?

I'm Running Out Of Original Content
Mother For Life

I'll just come out and say it: I'm running out of ideas.

I am pretty sure that when God/my parents/that stork made me, they decided to impact within me a finite amount of ideas. I am truly disappointed to report that this well has just about run dry.

You see, I've had a pretty good run thus far. I've used childhood stories and memories to inspire me for my Odyssey articles, stand-up sets, and comedy sketches. However, all of those stories and memories have almost all been used by now. My only option may be to change my identity and move from small village to small village for the rest of my life, repeating the same tried-and-true comedic bits that I've said before, because I simply lack the ability to come up with anything new.

It's tragic, really.

I want so badly to give you, my 3-10 (approximate) loyal readers (AKA my mom -- my dad doesn't know how to use computers and my brother is probably "too busy" -- some RAD high school teachers of mine, and the occasional friend), new and exciting content. I want to make you say, "wow" or "that's kind of funny," oh so badly, and you DESERVE to have that half-hearted chuckle on a random Monday afternoon. But I don't know what to tell you.

At this point, I'm considering getting a surgery that could change the course of my life forever. It's very risky, and there are both pros and cons. The main con is that there's a 90% chance the operation would kill me. The pro is that it'd be a brain transplant/switcheroo with Jerry Seinfeld, which would probably boost my content production substantially.


Sigh.


I'm sorry for the weak content, my loyal fans. You deserve so much better. So you know what? I'm gonna get that surgery... TOMORROW. And next week, I guess you'll just have to wait and see if a new article comes out, or if you never hear from me again.

Wish me luck!!

-Maddy/Future Jerry Seinfeld

Being pre-med is quite a journey. It’s not easy juggling school work, extracurricular activities, volunteering, shadowing, research, and MCAT prep all at the same time. Ever heard of “pain is temporary, but GPA is forever?” Pre-meds don’t just embody that motto; we live and breathe it. Here are 10 symptoms you’re down with the pre-med student syndrome.

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.

Coming from someone majoring in business at a school that thrives off of business majors, I know how rough it can be sometimes. Being a business major can be awesome, and awful, simultaneously. We work our tails off to be the best, but sometimes the stress can just tear you apart. Here are some struggles faced by business majors that will sound all too familiar.

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter

It's not all morning coffees and singing along to the radio.

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter
morethanwheels

I've been in college for four years now. I spent half my time as a commuter and half as a resident so I've experienced both sides of the housing spectrum. One thing I've learned comparing the two is that my struggles as a commuter far outweigh anything I went through while living on campus. Commuters have to deal with the problems school brings along with a slew of other issues; I've filled up my gas tank in the worst kind of weather conditions and napped in random places in public more times than I'm proud to say of. This is a list of some of the most challenging aspects of being a commuter.
