10 Facts About Matt Denney
Ky Guerrero

Odyssey has shaped my life, but it's definitely not the only thing that has shaped my life. I do have some pretty awesome facts about me that I think you should know.

1. I interned at Harvard this summer.

I interned as a resident assistant for Harvard's pre-college program. It's been one of the greatest experiences of my life, and it was my first time on the East Coast, so obviously the first thing I did was eat a lobster roll and have a Boston cream pie.

2. Dr. Seuss and I share the same birthday.

March 2 is definitely a day to remember. Throughout elementary school, we would always celebrate Dr. Seuss' birthday and eat green eggs and ham, but I would always wonder why no one was saying happy birthday to me!

3. I am a gold card member at Starbucks.

I mean this honestly, I really love Starbucks, and I am a gold card member. I gotta have my venti iced coffee, or I can't function.

4. I am in two honor societies on campus.

I am a proud member of Omicron Delta Kappa, which is the National Leadership Honor Society and Alpha Psi Omega, which is the National Theatre Honor Society.

5. My favorite Disney Movie is Hunchback of Notre Dame.

It is the perfect balance of light and dark themes. It is also one of my favorite musicals that I've seen, every time I watch the Disney movie or see the show, it just continues to get better.

6. My favorite musical is "The Last 5 Years"

"The Last 5 Years" tells the story of Cathy and Jamie and their relationship over five years, Cathy in reverse chronological order while Jamie in forward chronological order. It is an amazing blend of art, music and storytelling.

7. Hershey's cookies and cream candy bars are everything.

I could eat them all day, and be completely content with all life.

8. "How I Met Your Mother" is the No. 1 TV show.

Yellow umbrellas, self-fives and Canada. All three are just some of the insiders that encompass "How I Met Your Mother."

9. I want to be a high school theater teacher.

If you know me, you know that I want to be a theater teacher in the future. Just the art of actually teaching others about the arts and making an impact on the community and the education field is just aspiring to me.

10. I've been with the Odyssey for over a year.

OK, I know I said other than Odyssey, but, believe it or not, I have stuck with the Odyssey as a writer and social media director for over one year, which is a huge deal. I was one of the first writers hired back in July 2015 in my chapter at the University of Nevada, Reno. I feel like I'm finally sitting at the Thanksgiving table with my Odyssey fam, and that's a place I intend to be for a while and watch our family grow.

I've known you your entire life. More than likely I held you in the first three days of it and at least one of us cried. Cousins are truly one of the best things in the world and while sometimes I complain about how many people crowd Grandma's living room on Christmas Eve, I wouldn't trade you all anything.

You are my best friends, the only people who can understand what it's like on Thanksgiving, and you are the spunkiest people I have ever met. But you as so so young, most of you are just now starting your adventures in the public education system. I mean, I'm so very young too. I'm not married, I don't have children, heck, I just started my adult life, but I do want to give you what little advice I have. My dears, these are the things I want you to know.

Trust me, once you start "One Tree Hill", you will be hooked. There's way too many reasons to list as to why you'll love this show, and these are just a few.

The first two weeks of classes have come to an end and they have been anything BUT easy. It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

Although this seems like the best solution, it is also the easy way out. Take it from the girl who took basically a whole week off from her life because she just could not handle everything that was being thrown at her. This caused her to feel extremely lonely and even more stressed out for being behind in classes that JUST began.
