Changes at Odyssey

Dear Odyssey Community,

Sorry for the lull. It is our pleasure and privilege to let everyone know that there's been a change in Odyssey's ownership and management. The process has taken slightly longer than anticipated, but we are here now.

Odyssey is one of the great college brands, and it has meant a great deal to millions of students and users over the years. We have seen it discover creators and unravel the college and community experience over the past decade.

But like so many others, the company has struggled in 2020 and over the pandemic.

We are turning Odyssey back into a startup, focused on elevating creators and ideas from all parts of the country and all communities that positively contribute to our culture and condition. With a small team and budgeted accordingly, we plan on being more agile to your needs and providing a platform you can be proud of sharing on.

For now we won't make any confusing changes to the site's design. But you will see content that's more aligned to where we see us going in a world transformed. We also plan to grow towards maturity and capture more diverse voices, communities and digerati. At the same time, we will make it easier for dedicated contributors to communicate more directly with each other.

We are going to rebuild Odyssey with you this year and in 2022. Stay tuned for more.


And in the meantime - send us your suggestions/ thoughts/ concerns here info@theodysseyonline.com

Blair Waldorf

The "Gossip Girl" series may be over, but Blair Waldorf's iconic character lives in our hearts forever. Blair was the queen of the Upper East Side, and a character you either loved or hated. She taught us everything we needed to know about life, love and of course, how to score a Chuck Bass. So the next time you feel a bit lost and are in need of guidance, look no further than to the Queen B herself.

As I spend my Sunday avoiding my homework and other adult responsibilities, I realized that I've watched this series over and over about a million times. Sadly, there isn't a Blair quote I don't know, so I came up with a list of a few favorites. You know you love her...xoxo

College is an endless cycle of crappy, sleepless nights, tedious, boring lectures, and hours of never-ending piles of homework.

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.

Winter break is over, we're all back at our respective colleges, and the first week of classes is underway. This is a little bit how that week tends to go.

The professor starts to go over something more than the syllabus

You get homework assigned on the first day of class

There are multiple group projects on the syllabus

You learn attendance is mandatory and will be taken every class

Professor starts chatting about their personal life and what inspired them to teach this class

Participation is mandatory and you have to play "icebreaker games"

Everybody is going out because its 'syllabus week' but you're laying in bed watching Grey's Anatomy

Looking outside anytime past 8 PM every night of this week

Nobody actually has any idea what's happening this entire week

Syllabus week is over and you realize you actually have to try now...or not

Now it's time to get back into the REAL swing of things. Second semester is really here and we all have to deal with it.

panera bread

Whether you specialized in ringing people up or preparing the food, if you worked at Panera Bread it holds a special place in your heart. Here are some signs that you worked at Panera in high school.

1. You own so many pairs of khaki pants you don’t even know what to do with them

Definitely the worst part about working at Panera was the uniform and having someone cute come in. Please don’t look at me in my hat.
