The WVU Odyssey Community wouldn't be what it is without you, Rach!

To Rachel,

This is for the one that motivates me every week to put out articles of which I am beyond proud.

I remember last year reading articles from others that wrote for Odyssey and thinking, “I wanna do that.” And now, I am. I may be the one that writes the articles that are published every week, but there’s also someone that works behind the scenes that deserves more credit than she receives.

I am so lucky to have an Editor-in-Chief that I have watching over my community here at WVU. This is not her only job, but from the amount of dedication and time that she puts into this community, you might think that that were the case! She never fails to be there when I am having formatting issues, scheduling problems, or when MUSE decides to hate me at midnight on a Saturday. She is always there with encouraging words and a solution to every single issue I come across, except I’m pretty sure no one has truly mastered the art of taming the platform that is MUSE!

From the very beginning of my career at Odyssey, Rachel basically made herself indisposable to me and was there to respond to every single one of my annoying texts that I sent about building my profile and getting my first article out into the cyberworld!

Week after week, and email after email, Rachel makes sure that all of us are on schedule and ready to submit for the coming week. She is constantly motivating us to become better writers, praising us when our articles are received well, and always looking out for every one of us in any way that she can.

So, Rachel, I wrote this to thank you and to make sure that you know just how much you are appreciated by your Odyssey family here at WVU, and by me, especially. This experience has been nothing short of amazing. Thank you for your continuous support and all the work that you do week after week to make sure that we are exceeding the role of being a Content Creators for The Odyssey Online! Here’s to the best EIC I know!

With love from your contentcreator,

Megan

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?

10 Reasons Why Sisters Are The Best

Who could be a better friend than your own sister?

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.

If you’re anything like me, you love a good cup of coffee. My coffee always comes from Starbucks; I refuse to drink it from anywhere else. Over the years, it’s become one of my biggest addictions. So, if you are aware that you’re a Starbucks addict as well, or maybe you need to check to see if you’re an addict, here are seven ways to tell.

College involves a whirlwind of emotions, whether it’s from the stress of an assignment (or twenty), or from fighting with your roommate. It can be overwhelming at times and it’s important to take a step a back and calmly think things over. Maybe gain some perspective. The following aren’t foolproof tips and may not apply to you, but I was able to find success with them (hope you do too!)
