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!

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. 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.

It was the second time this year after an historic geomagnetic storm in May 2024. Those Northern Lights were visible in Europe and North America, just like this latest rendition.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
