11 Stages Of Writing For Odyssey
the odyssey online

I had always seen articles posted by Odyssey on almost all of the social media platforms that I use, but I never thought that I would one day be a Content Creator! Odyssey has given me the great opportunity to set aside time each week to express myself in a public setting and I'm so thankful for that! While I'm so happy to be a small part of Odyssey, it does get a little stressful sometimes. Here are 11 gifs that describe my experience with Odyssey so far:

1. Finally Applying

After months of toying with the idea, you finally apply and keep your fingers crossed!

2. Getting Accepted

Finally getting to be a content creator makes you all sorts of happy!

3. Writing Your First Article

You're so excited and feel so accomplished! You put a ton of work into it... and then realize you have to do it all over again in a few days.

4. Getting Good Feedback

When you labor over something it's so fulfilling to get positive feedback and helpful criticism!

5. Begging Your Friends To Share Your Work

Every group message you're in is flooded with "Share my article!!"

6. Coming Dangerously Close To The Deadline


"I work best under pressure."...yeah.

7. Having No Idea What To Write

But after a while of racking your brain for ideas, something comes to you..hopefully.

8. When Your Editor Gives You A List Of Ideas

THANK YOU!

9. Finding Random Inspiration

Suddenly, an idea for the perfect topic pops up in your head!

10. Turning In An Article Early

You feel so responsible when really this is something you should probably be doing every week.

11. Submittimg Something You're Proud Of

Nothing beats the feeling of writing something from the heart. It always feels so good to submit something that you can't wait to get published. It makes all the stress worth it.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever. Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
