College Kickstart

For most college students, classes have either already started or are getting ready to start within the next week or two. With that in mind, everyone is now going to be scrambling to study for their next exam, to finish that four to five-page paper, or hanging out with friends on a Friday night-this means that the fact that you have an article due during the week stray to the back of your mind, where it stays until you release that it's the due date and you have nothing out there yet.

Never fear! It happens to everyone! But what happens when you cannot even think of an article idea when you actually remember? You look at another odyssey article that has a list of different topics for something that strikes your interest. So, I'll cut this introduction off so you can get to what you came here to read. :)

1. How your first week of college went

2. Why the first week is the best time, yet it's also one of the most stressful time

3. Ways to reach out on campus (clubs, service learning, volunteering)

4. Shortcuts on your campus

5. Are the ratings on Rate My Professor actually reliable?

6. Why does every major have that one class that everyone dreads?

7. Things to do during your first week

8. How to make friends when you're new to campus

9. Reasons why you want to study abroad

10. Pros and cons to studying abroad

11. The best places to eat on campus

12. The best places to eat off of campus

13. Ways to stay on top of assignments

4. Differences between your previous year of school (ex: senior in high school to college freshman or sophomore in college to junior in college)

15. Why you choose to live on campus

16. Why you choose to commute

17. Letter to your university on the lack of outlets in some dorms (yes, I am salty)

18. Why you shouldn't drop that class

19. Why you love/hate morning classes

20. Why you love/hate afternoon classes

21. Why you love/hate online classes

22. A letter to the professors that make you buy expensive books, yet they never have anything relevant in them

23. What's the best places to get your books from?

24. Reasons why you should call home

25. Why naps are incredibly important for survival

26. eBooks vs physical books (which is better? which is worse?)

27. Unique spots on your campus

28. Things to do on your campus on the weekends

29. The pros and cons to having a roommate

30. Why it's best to go talk to your adviser early

Go forth my fellow procrastinators! Also, if you're having trouble with coming up with article ideas you can always talk to your editors and even your friends, to come up with new articles. Happy writing!

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Waitlisted for a College Class? Here's What to Do!

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.
