Thank You To My Odyssey Editors

Our editors deserve more than just this article I am writing, they deserve more than a thank you.

Working late as well as making sure articles are turned in on time are just a couple tasks that our editors have to go through. Over the past few months that I have been writing for Odyssey, I have learned quite a few things. But one major thing that stood out to me was that our editors do so much more than any of us can think of. So, with that being said, I want to take some time and tell the editors who take time out of their busy weeks to read and help make my articles good thank you.

I will be completely honest. In the beginning, I found the deadlines to be annoying. I found them to be unnecessary. That was because I didn't understand that people just like me were waiting and waiting for articles to flow in just so they can edit them. I want to say I am sorry. I know that I have been one to not turn in articles on time. I have been late multiple times. Now that I have thought and seen how stressful it can be on the editors I will think twice before turning in an article late. It's only fair.

I really want to say thank you to the people who edit my articles because they have decided to take time out of their lives to read things that others and I have written. On top of being editors, these wonderful people have school, work, and social lives to worry about as well. I think that we as content creators should take that into consideration. We are not the only ones who have lives. It is absolutely kind and very generous of the editors to do what they do for us.

Another thing I would like to thank the editors about is how friendly they are and how much patience they have with us. I know it must be hard to not lose your cool when the deadline was two hours ago and you only have four articles turned in. The editors who have taken time to edit my articles are no longer just people who tell me what is wrong with my writing but I see them as family. We all laugh together and work together as a family to keep our Odyssey community afloat.

Being an editor in all honesty does not seem like an easy job. They depend on us content creators to be on time with our work so they can get the articles posted. Our editors deserve more than just this article I am writing, they deserve more than a thank you. I know for a fact that I will be trying my best to turn in articles on time and with as little errors as I can just to attempt to make my editors life a little bit easier. Thank you to the editors for all your hard work and dedication to the Odyssey as well as believing and not giving up on us a writers even when we make you want to flip your lid. You are truly amazing and your work does not go unnoticed. Once again, thank you.

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?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week.
