Farewell, Odyssey!

You have let me voice my opinions and thoughts and for that I will be forever grateful.

In May 2017, I began to write for the Odyssey, and little did I know that it would be one of the best decisions I have ever made.

The Odyssey has let me voice my opinions on some pretty touchy subjects that I would normally just bottle up and try to ignore. It also has let me express my emotions on so many topics that are extremely personal to me, but I figured many people could relate to it.

Unfortunately, this is my last article. Things have just been a little too crazy with working midnights, trying to do my best while finishing up my senior year of college, and volunteering as well. Although I really enjoyed writing for this website, I noticed that my input has been lacking since I have become even more busy (if that's possible.)

I just want to give a huge thank you to anyone who took even two minutes out of their days to read my articles. Those two minutes honestly mean the world to me because they show me that you care. You could have spent those two minutes doing something else, or reading someone else's article, but instead you chose to read mine and for that I feel pretty damn special.

Also thank you for understanding and respecting what I had to say. I know that some topics I wrote about may have been tough to swallow or some people did not fully agree with what I wrote, but I received nothing but respectful viewpoints and constructive criticism in return.

Now a little piece of advice for my readers (whether it be two of you, five, or ten), don't be afraid to let your voice be heard. Speak up for what you believe in, whether it be creating a blog, making videos, or joining an organization. Life is too short for your voice to be silent. You have it for a reason.

Also, because life is short, try to live a life without regrets. Work your ass off to get where you want to be, but also remember to cut loose and do something a little crazy sometimes (like jumping off a 850 feet building or something).

Each one of you is unique and beautiful for so many different reasons, let your light shine through. I love each and every one of you.

Forever sending all my love,

Kamille

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

College is a great place to meet people, especially through Greek life. If you look closely at sororities, you'll quickly see there are many different types of girls you will meet.

1. The Legacy.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
