You can be a Content Creator!

If you write for Odyssey and don't act as an editor, your title is content creator! Once you are a content creator, you get all the responsibility, but also all the perks, of the job. As a Odyssey content creator, you write one article a week about a topic of your choice. Being a content creator is a great way to share ideas, news, and passions with a large audience.

You can be an editor-in-chief.

You can be a contributing editor.

You can write about anything you want, as much as you want.

You can utilize a big social media platform.

When you write an article, there are a thousand different ways to get your article out there. You can share them on social media platforms you already have, like Facebook or Twitter, but you can also set up new social media sites, specifically geared toward writing. StumbleUpon is a site that is not extremely well known, but can be a good resource for sharing your work.

You can get into blogging or journalism.

If you are considering a career in journalism, writing, or even just interested in blogging, Odyssey is a great platform for you. You can write about a variety of topics that you are passionate about and share them with like-minded people. You also have a chance to get your work edited, get in the practice of writing regularly, and can see what topics attract the most attention.

You can become a better writer.

Writing articles once a week gives you a lot of practice in your pursuit of writing perfection. If you've done a lot of formal writing for school, Odyssey can give you experience in informal, more stylistic writing. Your articles also get edited, which can make you more conscious of your writing. Weekly writing keeps you in practice, which can't do anything but help your mad writing skills!

You can develop as a person.

Writing can be therapeutic in a lot of ways. Odyssey gives you a chance to write about whatever you want to, and I firmly believe passionate writing is the best writing. Explaining your feelings through your articles can really allow you to figure out what your feelings are, and help you really express your thoughts.

You can develop your resume.

You can write with a community of writers who are just as passionate as you.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
