Op-Ed Swan Song

If I hear another opinion my brain is going to explode.

Op-Ed Swan Song
Dustin and Jennifer Stacey

I am so done with opinions.

All of them. Every single freaking one of the opinions floating around out there, I am so tired of them. I’m tired of your opinions, I’m tired of my opinions, I’m tired of having a brain, I’m tired of this election. Looking at Facebook makes me want to gauge my eyes out with a twig and yet somehow I just cannot look away.

I used to want to be a journalist because I was all, “oh I’m going to fight for the greater good! I’m going to educate people and I’m going to write the truth!”

Nope. Screw. It. All. I am so freaking done. Congratulations, the American public, you have officially saturated me completely with your opinions.


So I’m purging all of my opinions. Agree with them, don’t. I honestly don’t care. Here they are. There’s no rhyme or reason to the order. This is literally just my last op-ed for a long ass time. After this I’ll start contributing Odyssey-fluff pieces like, “I’m A Girl Who Likes To Wear Flannels And That’s Okay” or “25 Starbucks Drinks That Changed My Life.” Let’s begin.

1. High school girls need to stop parting their hair so far to the side. It looks weird as hell.


2. This isn’t an opinion, it’s a fact, but it’s been driving me crazy. The term is “would have” not “would of.” And while we’re

at it, don’t get pissed at grammar Nazis just because you couldn’t pay a lick of attention in grade school. If you are about to have a bachelor’s degree in your hands then learn to write. For the love of God, learn to write.

3. Trump is actually a giant bag of shit. No, the media isn’t portraying him like that. No, the blame doesn’t fall on “Crooked Hillary.” No, nobody cares that he donated to whatever-the-hell whenever the hell he did. The man is a gigantic, flaming sack of shit. If you want to vote for him fine. But at least own up to the fact that your candidate is a gigantic flaming sack of shit.


4. Hillary Clinton is a criminal and liar and brings out everything bad about the Democratic Party. Her pantsuits make me

physically ill.

5. Gary Johnson has taken the whole “eccentric goofy governor” bit too far. Gary, I love you. I’m voting for you. But dude. You gotta tone down the spaz a little.


6. Everyone getting worked up about Christmas on the first day of November needs to take a serious chill pill. You people are

coked out on elves and Christmas tree smells, and Michael Bublé albums and every type of Christmas crafting supply there is. Let me tell you something: that is awesome. That is super amazing. If there were an award for best things to be completely strung out you guys would win. But please, just mourn a tiny bit for Halloween. Give it until the middle of the month or something. Thanksgiving is an awesome holiday. Please just take a breather, people.

Rest assured though, I think you are an endearing populous.

7. Bloody Mary’s taste like a salty sailor’s asshole. Why does anyone drink that? This cocktail actually crawled straight

out of Satan’s bellybutton lint and dove into the category of “hangover cures.” Really? Petition to abolish the Bloody Mary.

8. Why do white girls wear t-shirts and Nike shorts/leggings every day? Doing it sometimes is fine but like why does no one take pride in his or her appearance anymore? Just a question.

9. Reverse racism isn’t a thing. Prejudice is a thing. Reverse racism isn’t a thing. So just knock it off.

10. If no one had ever brought up the issue of transgender people and bathrooms it never would have become an issue. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

All right I’m done. There’s more but, for your sanity, I’m done. My dream is dead.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

1. The Legacy.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
