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.

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.

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.
