The Radio Sucks | The Odyssey Online
Start writing a post

You just got in your car and you start scanning through the radio stations when you realize a trend -- every station is playing the same song. Local radio stations that play the top hits, play the same 10 songs on repeat and they often ruin the song after a few weeks. I loved the song "Cheap Thrills" by Sia, but after about a week, I started to hate it. I loved the song, "Can't Stop The Feeling," by Justin Timberlake, but again, after about a week I started to hate it. This happens with almost every song the radio plays.

One of the radio's goals is to gain listeners. Now, they think the best way to do this is to play the top hits of today. They also think that it's a good idea to play the songs on repeat. But instead, this just leads to drivers scanning through the stations for the entirety of their ride. So when this happens you have two options:

Get an auxiliary cord.

Getting an auxiliary cord may seem like a lot of work, but it will make your drive much more enjoyable. You can make a playlist of whatever music you enjoy, whether it is some of the top hits that you aren't sick of yet, some throwbacks, or maybe some alternative music or even some country. Whatever it is, it is your music and you can pick what you listen to. And the best part is, if you get sick of a song, you can just delete it from the playlist! It may take some time to make a playlist, but it is definitely worth it and you will be able to drive and listen to a full song instead of scanning through stations for the whole drive.

Deal with it.

Now, yes, this is 100 percent the easier option, but it will leave you right where you started -- scanning through stations for your entire ride. But if you are too lazy to make a playlist and get an auxiliary cord, then I guess this is your only option.

So I, personally, want to say thank you radio stations for ruining every song out there.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
