9 Thoughts Every Odyssey Creator Has When Writing An Article

Writing an Odyssey article every week is not easy. No matter if you're a linguistics or biomedical engineering major, eventually we all get writer's block. And it's not fun. With your article due at midnight and it's already 11:00 pm, it's go-time. However, everyone has already written about everything. Whether it's politics or fashion, SOMEONE has already written about it, at least once. When you're a creator, you want to come up with an original idea. Here are the thoughts and struggles that every Odessey creator has when trying to write an article...

1. "Wtf should I write about?"

2. "Maybe my article will go viral!!! I'll add a funny gif about Kanye because everyone is obsessed with him."

3. "I think Kanye is more obsessed with himself."

4. "Okay, I need to focus again."

5. "Yes, this is a brilliant idea! I'm a genius!"

6. "Why do puppy videos go viral and my article doesn't when it is actually a masterpiece?"

7. "Okay, I'm rewriting this. I can't write. How am I in college?"

8. "I'm sending this sentence to my mom. I have no clue if this is correct grammar."

9. "Hopefully, this article gets past my editor..."

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path.
