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

I think the hardest thing about going away to college is figuring out how to become an adult. Leaving a household where your parents took care of literally everything (thanks, Mom!) and suddenly becoming your own boss is overwhelming. I feel like I'm doing a pretty good job of being a grown-up, but once in awhile I do something that really makes me feel like I'm #adulting. Twenty-somethings know what I'm talking about.

I went to a small high school, like 120-people-in-my-graduating-class small. It definitely had some good and some bad, and if you also went to a small high school, I’m sure you’ll relate to the things that I went through.

1. If something happens, everyone knows about it

Who hooked up with whom at the party? Yeah, heard about that an hour after it happened. You failed a test? Sorry, saw on Twitter last period. Facebook fight or, God forbid, real fight? It was on half the class’ Snapchat story half an hour ago. No matter what you do, someone will know about it.

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!
