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.

The Perks of Being a Girl

“I just want you to know that you’re very special… and the only reason I’m telling you is that I don’t know if anyone else ever has.”

As frustrating and annoying as it can be, being a girl is really awesome. We are beautiful inside and out. Not a lot of people may see that, but girls have a ton of amazing qualities.

We have unique flirting skills.

Us girls have a significant way to flirt with other people. Even when we say the most random or awkward things, we have a way of making everything sound cute and planned. It’s just a gift; we’re good like that.

We Heart It

Over the past decade, television has undergone a very crucial transition: the incorporation of female lead characters. Since it's a known fact that girls actually do run the world (Beyonce said so herself), it's time for the leading ladies of the small screen to get some credit. Without these characters, women would still be sitting in the background of our favorite shows. These women are not only trailblazers for female empowerment, but role models for women worldwide. With that, here are 15 of the smartest, sassiest ladies gracing our screens that remind us that women do, indeed, rule:

If you are like me, you have an interesting personality. Basically, you love to be sassy and snarky, gossip, and act like a total bitch (not really), but deep down, you are actually a very genuinely nice person. The idea of actually hurting someone truly makes you feel bad, and you probably have never actually hurt someone’s feelings because your kindness always shines through, even if you do not want it to. Not sure exactly what I would call this type of personality, but if you identify with it, here are some feelings you can undoubtedly relate to.
