21 Things About Your Favorite Odyssey Content Creator On Her 21st Birthday

Brandon Arlington

Celebrate good times come on! What better way to celebrate my entrance into real adulthood than with my faithful Odyssey readers (I know you're out there and I see you and I love you). In honor of my 21st birthday, here are 21 facts about your favorite Odyssey writer!

1. My name is Haley Walker (seriously, it’s Haley Walker. I can’t remember the last time someone called me by just my first name) and I am from Frisco, Texas! Dallas forever!

2. I am a Communication Major with a Sociology minor at Texas A&M University, hopefully graduating spring of 2020. Just trying to make it out alive, honestly.

3. My favorite thing in the whole world is live music. I LOVE concerts. They are where I feel most alive and most myself.

4. I want to be a music journalist when i grow up. Music and writing are the two loves of my life and I hope I can combine them forever. Music has everything to offer.

5. I physically cannot consume enough coffee. Am I strong enough to admit I have an addiction? Yes. Am i going to take steps towards recovery? No. Absolutely not.

6. My biggest pet peeve is reckless driving. If you put my life in danger I WILL honk my horn, guaranteed. I’m seriously terrified of car accidents.

7. I am a winter gal through and through. My ideal weather is like 30 degrees, no joke.

8. My favorite food is breakfast food. I think this speaks for itself. Why would you choose anything else?

9. I am literally obsessed to the max with Christmas. It is the best time of the year and the best holiday. Joy to the world!

10. My favorite TV show is 'Parks and Rec'. I really want to be Leslie but deep down I know I’m April. Sigh.

11. I love my family more than absolutely anything and I would die for my baby brother. Using the word “baby” loosely considering his shoe size is a 14 and he towers over me like a skyscraper.

12. I love working out. What can I say? I just want to ensure as many arm wrestle wins as possible.

13. I love Jesus! With my whole being! I am who I am because of Him and I have made it to where I am by His grace alone.

14. My favorite artist is Jack Antonoff, if you know me you know I’m obsessed with 'Bleachers'. If you feel inclined, listen to 'Rollercoaster'. It’s my favorite song ever.

15. My all-time favorite color is olive green. I love soft, warm colors, right now my go-to color is deep orange or mauve.

16. I love enjoying the peaceful little things: candles, albums on vinyl, plants, Christmas lights, handwritten letters, fuzzy socks. Sometimes simplicity is key. It doesn’t take much to make my day.

17. I love my dog, she’s insane and it inspires me. Her middle name isn’t Beyoncé for nothing.

18. My most frequent meal is easily pizza. I definitely eat it more than once a week and I’m not even embarrassed about this honestly.

19. My favorite places to eat in College Station are 'Fuego' and 'The Stella Café'. Queso is a must and 'Fuego' has the best of all time, no wiggle room on that one.

20. I play the bassoon in Texas A&M’s symphonic band!! I’ve been a band nerd for as long as I can remember (since the 6th grade to be exact) and I can’t really imagine ever giving it up for good. It’s ingrained in me deeply.

21. Upon being asked, I would say my best quality is my wit and humor. I like to think I’m funny. People laughing at my jokes and using a megaphone are probably tied for my biggest power trips.

I hope I feel more like a friend and less like a weird blogger you follow on social media! Eat a cupcake for me after you read this (or a donut, my favorite sweet treat), the calories don't count because it's my birthday!

10 Signs You Go To Kent State

You know you're a true Kent Stater when...

Kent State University

Great Value Colleges

If you go to or went to Kent State, then more than likely you have done or will do some of these things.

1. You’ve slipped and fallen on the ice at least once.

The winters at Kent are brutal, and while the heated sidewalks and some great snow boots are always a help, there’s no chance you won’t bust it on the ice at least once in your four plus years at school.

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.

Library Struggles Every College Student Will Understand

Are you really a college student if you don't stay up all night studying in your pajamas?

College of Charleston

Daily Fun Lists

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.
