To The Community That Built My Passion
msecnd

We’re more than halfway done with 2016. Chances are, you’ve heard about The Odyssey or seen an article on your Facebook newsfeed from one of our 14,000 content creators, and counting. Only two years old, this rookie platform is making waves with millennials around the world. A combination of weekly articles and social media brews the perfect combination of creation and inspiration.

To the community that built my passion, thank you for showing me how powerful words can be. Although actions speak louder than words, people often forget how influential words can actually be. After all, what are words if you don’t mean what you say.

To the community that built my passion, you’ve shown me that it doesn’t matter what you are majoring in or are pursuing professionally. Simply put: if you love writing, join the conversation. Engage in all your interests, speak up about topics that concern you, foster creativity. The opportunities are endless.

To the community that built my passion, you’ve exposed me to a wide spectrum of individuals. I’ve gotten the opportunity to network with talented individuals at the touch of my fingertips (literally). Who knew that digital publishing could create a community without borders?

To the community that built my passion, you’re known as The Odyssey.

I showed interest in writing, you provided. I wanted to gain network opportunities, again, you came through. I wanted to be more in touch with my passion, and you built it up even more.

Like I said, it’s 2016. There are 14,000+ of me out there. It’s a “for millennials, by millennials” movement. Whether you’re a talker or listener, writer or reader—everyone has a story worth sharing. Cliché as it is, it’s true. So join the community that built my passion, and hopefully can build yours too.

Mistakes are something we all make, no matter how old we get. Most of the time, the mistakes we made are little and sometimes due to something out of our control. Yet, there are mistakes that are bigger than others. Personally, I have mistakes that I wish I could go back and undo. Here they are:

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

sisters

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.
