It kind of feels like I'm breaking the fourth wall a little here, but whatever! I wanted to say thank you to the Odyssey.

Thank you for introducing me to my Odyssey family.

Thank you for allowing me to create anything I wanted.

Thank you for showing me how to view topics from a new point-of-view.

Thank you for helping me express my thoughts and ideas.

Thank you for giving me a place to vent and use my emotions.

Thank you for teaching me real-life skills.

Being a creator at the Odyssey has been absolutely amazing. I have learned so much about myself, writing, and the world around me. During my time here at the Odyssey, I was able to gain experience that I wouldn't trade for the world. Being apart of my campus community made me feel like I had a voice.

Since we already have so much darkness, and heaviness in the world. I used my time at the Odyssey to create fun, light-hearted pieces. I have been able to give people a bit of entertainment, in a time filled with so much uncertainty. I will be forever grateful for my time spent here at the Odyssey.

If you're considering applying to be a creator, you definitely should. It is a fabulous opportunity that I couldn't recommend more.

Now you've got 25 problems and graduation is only one.

The dynamics of any friend group are usually determined by the personalities which make it up. Chances are, while personalities may overlap, each person in your friend group holds his or her own place. It is the differences which bring the groups together and keep them functioning. No matter how functionally dysfunctional your friend group may be, if you're anything like me, you feel absolutely blessed to have found such a wonderful group of humans to call "your people." Here is what your friend group might look like if they were Disney princesses (and that wasn't just a thing you all pretended in your heads):

When it comes to Bloomington-Normal, there are many outstanding factors that any Illinois State student can say are unique to our college town (and maybe others too). Proud or not, we Redbirds know all the ins and outs of Blono.

1. The wait for Buffalo Wild Wings is always going to be long on Thursday nights.

As hard as we try, it's nearly impossible to resist the 69-cent wings on a college student budget. Plus, they are always delicious!
