ACU Odyssey Spotlight: Cori Pequeno

Hey y'all!

For those who have not met me yet, I am the Editor-In-Cheif of the Odyssey at ACU community.

With over 1,200 communities across the nation and more than 14,000 content creators, it’s easy to miss or overlook a creator who is producing great chance. As a way to help you make sure you’re not missing one of those creators right here at ACU, I plan to highlight someone from time to time that I think is creating exceptional content.

This week, our spotlight will be set on Cori Pequeno, one of longest content creators since our start up.

Cori has been with Odyssey since the start of January in 2016 when she decided to contribute and join Odyssey and the mission it stands for.

Cori said Odyssey has given her the space to say how she feels and being able to connect with people she'd never even spoken to. How it is something really special and something to be treasured by anyone who chooses to write of Odyssey.

"I've stayed with the Odyssey because there's not a lot of places where you have free reign to say how you feel. I was really excited to join the Odyssey because it was a place I could do that, and they didn't even care I was psych major," said Pequeno. "I didn't have to be journalism major or English major to write for the Odyssey, and I think that's a powerful message. Odyssey is an inclusive community and that's really really important to me and it would take a lot for me to give that up."

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

1997
Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
