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.

Christmas is literally so close. We can almost taste it. But there is just one thing standing between you and the big day: FINALS. It's not the studying, lack of sleep, last minute cram sessions or crappy food intake that is the worst... but the fact that you cannot focus because, well, CHRISTMAS. How do professors expect you to focus when Christmas is soooo soon. For all my fellow Christmas lovers out there, I feel your pain.

One of the most dreaded places on campus is the library. Nothing awesome ever happens here. Usually, the only reason you're here is because you've procrastinated so long that the library is the only place you'll actually get stuff done. It gives you this feeling of sadness and impending doom. You have no idea how this is going to go or how long you'll be here, but you do know it is about to be the most excruciating experiences yet. But it has to get done, so you drag yourself to the lovely library.

It is that time of year again. Christmastime. It is one of my favorite seasons for a myriad of reasons. Here are just a few reasons why I love Christmas. This list is in no order of importance.

1. The Christmas decorations

I am that person who will decorate directly after Thanksgiving is over. This year, my roommates and I put the tree up in our apartment before we even left for Thanksgiving break. It is a great stress reliever for me to just sit in my living room and work on the huge amount of work I have before the semester is over.
