Why Did My Article Get Deleted?

You cannot determine if someone truly sucks or not until you really get to know them.

Why Did My Article Get Deleted?

A week ago, I dropped my magnum opus, per say. It got hundreds of more views within twenty-four hours than I have ever gotten before on any of my wonderfully terse pieces. I literally wrote it in the discussion section of my Islam class, with Rafin right next to me, so he could see firsthand how I planned to roast him. Furthermore, he even choreographed the wording of the last paragraph. That's how much of a goober this kid is. He was excruciatingly insistent, wanting the world to know that he has a vast sports jersey collection and has a Hawaiian shirt "for every day of the week."

Last Monday, I put the article in various Facebook groups, ostensibly attempting to increase the amount of views I got and to make sure I specifically got more views than Max McSherry, another content creator here at Odyssey. Things were going well. A lot of friends from home read it and found it rather funny. I hoped they would, considering they knew both Rafin and me. People who didn't know Rafin wouldn't have the knowledge of how terrible his personality is, though; so, I fervently attempted to convey that fact through my writing (and of course the dumb picture of him). However, as I stepped out of class early Monday evening, Rafin texted me, asking if I had deleted my post that shared the article in the Class of 2019 Facebook Group.

I checked, and sure enough, my post had vanished. Someone had deleted it. For what reason? I don't know. My article definitely wasn't spam. Someone had commented asking essentially what the point of the article was. The fact that I have to churn out an article per week is more than enough reason. Maybe the person responsible for the deletion of my article took issue with the title. Odds are they probably didn't read a bit of the content beyond that; because if they did, they'd certainly have realized that the title acts as a vital vehicle in the true point of my piece: discriminating against people for aspects of their life, such as their religion, is an abhorrent practice. My piece, consequently, demonstrates that you cannot determine if someone truly sucks or not until you really get to know them.

Parks and Rec

We all know that Parks and Recreation is one of the greatest shows ever to air on TV. As we watched every episode, we all found a piece of us in each character (even Jerry). From the moment we met the pit, to the time we saw it flourish into a beautiful park, we all had developed a little bit of Pawnee, Indiana in our hearts.

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.
