Writing articles once a week can take a toll on a creator here at The Odyssey. Ideas start to run out, time starts to become an issue, and eventually it becomes the right decision to leave. Luckily, I was given the opportunity to come back to the Flagler College team and write articles again for the spring semester.

1. It is a great way to build my resume

After I graduate from college, I'm looking to work as a publicist. When you're in the communication field, employers want to see that you have a firm understanding of how to write. Writing articles every week allows me to work on my skills as a writer.

2. My voice can be heard

The Odyssey gives me the freedom to write about anything that I can think of. This gives me the chance to make my voice heard. Our platform is also unique in the fact that our articles are spread via social media.

3. I can potentially make some money

No one was ever mad when they made some extra cash doing something they enjoy. Every week, depending on how many views the team gets as a whole we have the potential to make a decent amount of money.

4. I enjoy challenging myself to do better

Having to write an article every single week, can prove to be difficult at times. Sometimes there just isn't enough time in the week to physically write an article. Sometimes writers block is impossible to get past and nothing seems to make sense when you go to write the article. But I challenge myself to write the best article I can weekly.

5. The team here at Flagler is amazing

When I left Odyssey last semester, it was a difficult decision to make. Unfortunately, I didn't have enough time in my schedule to create articles that would make the Flagler team better. The team here is absolutely fantastic and work hard to write articles that resinate with people. Being part of such an outstanding team made the decision to come back that much easier.

I'm super excited to be back on the Flagler College Odyssey team!
