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!

27 Things 'The Office' Has Taught Us

"The Office" is a mockumentary based on everyday office life featuring love triangles, silly pranks and everything in between. It can get pretty crazy for just an average day at the office.

When you were little, your parents probably told you television makes your brain rot so you wouldn't watch it for twelve straight hours. However, I feel we can learn some pretty valuable stuff from television shows. "The Office," while a comedy, has some pretty teachable moments thrown in there. You may not know how to react in a situation where a co-worker does something crazy (like put your office supplies in jello) but thanks to "The Office," now you'll have an idea how to behave ifsomething like that should happen.

Here are just a few of the things that religious Office watchers can expect to learn.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

Books were always about understanding for me, about learning the way someone else sees, about connection.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

I keep making this joke whenever the idea of books is brought up: "God, I wish I knew how to read." It runs parallel to another stupid phrase, as I watch my friends struggle through their calculus classes late at night in our floor lounge: "I hope this is the year that I learn to count." They're both truly idiotic expressions, but, when I consider the former, I sometimes wonder if there's some truth to it.
