Reasons I Write For Barnard's Odyssey Team

Have you ever had something on your mind that you've wanted to communicate to the world? The Odyssey Online is where we can make that happen. I've been part of Barnard College's Odyssey team since the beginning of the semester, and here are some reasons to join that I can personally attest to.

1. We have lots of ideas. This is a space to share them.

As I've seen with many Bold Beautiful Barnard Babes, we have an abundance of opinions waiting to be communicated. Odyssey allows us to do just that in the form of online writing!

2. We get an official link with our name on it.

All your writing will be collected under one internet domain: theodysseyonline.com/@yourname. Here's something to fill in the "link" category in our social media bios. It's a way of developing an online portfolio and looking professional.

3. This position's a resumé builder.

Speaking of professional, just think about it, we have the title of "content creator" or even "contributing editor" in a global online website. This'll give you that edge-up that you need when competing for jobs.

4. Writing is basically low commitment and with minimum requirements.

Here's an opportunity to share quick articles each week with no word count minimum. You can write anything from long stories to short listicles (like this one). It' your choice of topic. Take it from me: it's easy once you get the hang of it!

5. For the #GirlPower.

Now this is a Barnard specific reason. We're a community of women writers that read & share articles. Expect one-hundred percent support from everyone on our team.

6. For the money incentives.

It's simple. Write good articles that have significant meaning to you and you'll get money. You'll find out more once you join.

7. For all the New Perspectives

This is the best part. As a member of the Odyssey team, thinking of topics to write on will allow you to have a more open mind and experience the world from different points of view. I know I've had a much more AMAZING time exploring New York City through this position.

Are you ready to be a part of this writing adventure with me? Just reach out to us. Our Barnard Odyssey team is waiting for you!

A Few Thoughts Every College Freshman Has

The transition into adulthood is never easy

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. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever. Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
