First Outlook | The Odyssey Online
Start writing a post

As this is my first article, I just want to say some of the brief things I hope to achieve in writing for this platform. Ultimately, I just want a place to express some of my ideas, and get some feedback as to what others may think. I am forward with my ideas. I try not to limit my conversations trying to fit them accordingly with people’s feelings. I believe that people could never communicate if we are too busy concentrating on the things that offend us, it is much better to get over our own biases to continue the discussion.

I am also going to improve my writing with this platform. Therefore, I will be trying new ways of constructing an article. In the schools, they have very specific formats, whereas I am going to play with writing styles.

So, my name is Carlos Mendoza. I am 22 and attend East Los Angeles College. I take all sorts of classes but, ultimately, in my life, I would like to achieve a Master’s in English and Business Administration. I love to read all sorts different books, although my favorite are always the disturbing literature or comedy literature. Currently, I have been reading a lot of folktales and mythology from various parts of the world. So far, I have liked the Norse mythology very much. I am now reading mythology from Mesoamerica, and folktales from pre and at the time of colonialism in the Mesoamerican region.

Taking a look at all the articles posted every day on Odyssey, there is so much diversity in stories, experience, perspectives and ideas. It is very exciting, and I hope to be able to contribute to a conversation. I hope to be able to follow some blogs that will open up fresh ideas for our fast paced world of information. I do not know for how long I will be writing for Odyssey, but I hope to benefit from all this has to offer before I am on my way to the next platform of my life. I will contribute as much as I benefit

I have applied to a couple of universities, and every day I feel so stressed and it is not even close to March. I just take it day by day.

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.
