5 Reasons You Should Join Odyssey
The Odyssey Online

Odyssey is a great way to get your voice out there. Actually out there. On the Internet. For everyone to read. Build your writing portfolio for internships and jobs, and work with a great team of creators! Practice with deadlines and experiment with your own writing style. Even if you don't plan on doing anything with writing for your career, it is a great way to express your knowledge in other subjects. Writing is used everywhere no matter who you are or what you do, so it can't hurt to practice.

1. Looks great on a resume

Anything to help you look better than the masses when applying for a job is something worth doing. Not to mention you can get great recommendations from Odyssey Managers at HQ if you strive to be the best you can be as a creator.

2. Being a part of a community

The Odyssey community is awesome for writing and respecting everyone's ideas. It never hurts to have more friends and it is a great way to bounce writing ideas off each other and get feedback on your writing from people who want to help you!

3. Write about anything you want

It is rare to find a platform where you can write anything you want. Odyssey is here to get your voice heard and your ideas shared with your friends and family and everyone on the wide web. Whether it is advice for others or a short story to anything else, Odyssey is here to share it.


4. A club that's not a club

If your schedule is really busy, Odyssey can be done remotely. While it is a club of sorts there is no weekly meeting. You can do it while sitting in your dorm, or while you are eating. While there are meetings, they are there for your benefit and a way to make new friends, and they are much less frequent.


5. There is a huge audience

Although this can be scary at first, there are so many people that read The Odyssey Online articles. There are thousands of communities looking at the articles and millions of viewers of the website. Your impact here is much bigger and better than you realize until you are a creator!

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?
