Why Minions Are The Worst | The Odyssey Online
Start writing a post

I still remember the day that "Despicable Me" came out. Everyone was raving about this new movie and how adorable all of the characters were, including some weird alien-like yellow beings who apparently had their own language. Eventually, I got the opportunity to see this movie that everyone was talking about, and I was pleasantly impressed. The film was pretty adorable, and the addition of these little yellow creatures helped to bring it all together. Little did I know that soon I would see these things as among my worst enemies.

That's right. I hate Minions. I can't stand them or the ideas they represent. Here's a list of why minions are pretty much the worst things ever created:

1. They probably worked for Hitler.

Yep, that's right, your beloved minions follow the world's biggest supervillains—and let's be honest, one of the biggest villains was Adolf Hitler.

2. They don't even speak a known language.

What is the actual point of watching a movie where literally no one understands what they're saying?

3. They're not even cute!

They look like walking tic-tacs. What is the appeal of that?

4. They are absolutely everywhere you look.

The next time you're at Target or Walmart, just take a gander at how many minion products you will see. I promise that it will sicken you. That my friends, is capitalism at its best.

5. Those stupid minion posts that your grandma posts on Facebook.

Why, just why do middle-aged women and older people have to post inspirational quotes with a minion in the corner on Facebook? I'm sorry, Linda, but what does a minion have to do with the quote "Smile, you're prettier that way"?

6. The Minion movie is meant for children, yet they're sexualized.

How does someone sexualize a literal walking yellow bean? By putting a thong on it, of course.

7. Minions are now taking over weddings.

Please, I am begging you, do not have a minion-themed wedding. You will regret this.

8. People are now getting minion tattoos.

I didn't think it was possible to hate yourself this much, but alas.

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter

It's not all morning coffees and singing along to the radio.

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter
morethanwheels

I've been in college for four years now. I spent half my time as a commuter and half as a resident so I've experienced both sides of the housing spectrum. One thing I've learned comparing the two is that my struggles as a commuter far outweigh anything I went through while living on campus. Commuters have to deal with the problems school brings along with a slew of other issues; I've filled up my gas tank in the worst kind of weather conditions and napped in random places in public more times than I'm proud to say of. This is a list of some of the most challenging aspects of being a commuter.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!
