No one can relate better to the struggles of Chandler Bing better than Odyssey writers.

1. You sit down and log into MUSE all confident, soon to realize that you have no idea what to write about.

And, even if you do know what to write about, you never know where to start.

2. You then spend more time coming up with an idea for an article than you do actually writing it.

"Has 'College Struggles Told by Friends' been done before?"

3. After what seems like forever trying to come up with an original idea, you finally have a revelation and come up with one.

4. You begin to write your heart out and type like there's no tomorrow.

5. You finally finish and hope it's good enough for Odyssey to share it on social media.

6. You click "Next" and realize that you still have to write the subheadline, header, metadata title and description, etc...

7. Finding a header picture also takes you forever, and then the perfect URL is taken.

See also: finding a picture but it's too small, not being able to find a source for a listicle picture, etc. etc. etc.

8. You get everything done and finally click "submit" and are just relieved you got it in before your deadline.

9. Your article gets published and Facebook decides to not put your share on anybody's newsfeed.

10. You then check social media constantly to see if Odyssey posted your article, but they never do.

11. You then get a message from your Editor in Chief asking for what you're gonna write about for next week and you don't know how you're gonna come up with another idea.

12. Soon after, you sit down, log into MUSE, and start the whole process over again.

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!
