12 Things I'd Rather Do Than Write About Politics

In This Article:

I've said this before, and I've said it again. I. HATE. POLITICS. Whether it's being demonized for being a moderate in a radical time, or simply the headaches from reading the news, I hate politics so much, and no, pestering me about voting isn't going to lessen that hatred (even though I did), or make me rant about whatever unpopular opinions I have like so many people on here are doing now. You can't make me! All these options are much more desirable:

1. Have the Fire Alarm in my Dorm go off for the Nth Time

Please, while I'm in the shower or working on something important.

2. Fill a Martini Glass with Nando's Extra-Extra Hot Sauce and Chug

I write better than I talk anyway, I could stand to lose the use of my mouth for a few days.

3. Have to Memorize and Recite a Long Poem

I'll just have a "Vietnam Flashback" to Poetry Out Loud in high school real quick where I burst into tears at the end...

4. Take Another 8 A.M. Class

Nothing some coffee won't fix.

5. Be Forced to Listen to "Closer" on Repeat

I've made it known to people I know how much I HATE that song...

6. Not Sleep for 3 Days

It's happened before, and it's unpleasant

7. Attempt to Eat Fruit

Politics make me heave anyway. Maybe it's better to actually cough something up.

8. Get Around to Getting my Wisdom Teeth Pulled

I've gotten a tooth pulled before, and it sucks…

9. Publish the Experimental Writing story that I Hate

It was one of the dumbest ideas I've ever had, and it apparently turned out beautifully. And maybe... If Odyssey was nicer about fonts.

10. Have The FBI Look Through my Search History

I'm not a psycho, it's research for writing, I swear.

11. Have to Write an Article Every Day

And I'd run dry within about a month.

12. Step on Several Legos

This one seems obligatory on any article where one lists things they'd rather do than something else, but it's accurate. I'd bear that pain than write a political article.

There you have it. If you've made it this far, you know you're not getting any of that nonsense out of me.

Dear High School Friend Group,

My sweet angels, where would I be without you guys. We all grew up together because we either met in middle school or high school and watched each other grow up and get "old." We got to go to prom together and then graduate together. Then watched each other as we continued our lives in college, joining sororities and meeting people who will impact our lives forever. It all has happened so fast.

Oh college, we can’t live with you, but we can’t live without you. It’s a love/hate relationship, really. College is an experience that no one can ever prepare you for, and maybe that’s a good thing. You never really expect any of the things that college encompasses until you are there. College is fun, but don’t have too much fun. C’s get degrees, but they don’t get you into graduate school.

Blair Waldorf

The "Gossip Girl" series may be over, but Blair Waldorf's iconic character lives in our hearts forever. Blair was the queen of the Upper East Side, and a character you either loved or hated. She taught us everything we needed to know about life, love and of course, how to score a Chuck Bass. So the next time you feel a bit lost and are in need of guidance, look no further than to the Queen B herself.

As I spend my Sunday avoiding my homework and other adult responsibilities, I realized that I've watched this series over and over about a million times. Sadly, there isn't a Blair quote I don't know, so I came up with a list of a few favorites. You know you love her...xoxo

College is an endless cycle of crappy, sleepless nights, tedious, boring lectures, and hours of never-ending piles of homework.

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.
