For My Creators As I Say Goodbye

Sometimes you just need to move on.

For My Creators As I Say Goodbye
Huffington Post

Since January 2016 I have been writing for the Odyssey Online at Washington College. In May, I became a Contributing Editor. In June, I became a Community Ambassador and then in November, I became the Editor-in-Chief. I have enjoyed every second of it. However, sometimes you need to let things go and I think it is time that I passed the torch.

This fall I am going to be taking 22 credit hours and auditing two classes. In a way, I feel like I am abandoning my team, but my Odyssey community deserves someone who will be able to put more focus and attention on Creators and their needs. Stepping down does not mean that I am going to just be gone. I will be there to answer any questions that they may have.

To my Creators: I am super proud of you. Each of you has unique talent and produces great content. I have watched you all grow into wonderful young writers. Some of you are new and I have not gotten to know you really well, but I am super excited to see what you produce in the future. I want you all to know that there are going to be weeks when it will be hard to write or you think you can't do it anymore, but I want you to stick with it. Writing for Odyssey is a great learning experience and allows you to get your voice out there. Everyone needs to hear what you have to say. Your opinions and ideas matter. No topic is too crazy for an article.

I am excited to continue to see what everyone writes in the future and I am here for any advice when they need it. I'm not going to be gone for good. I'm just not going to be a part of the team. This was a very difficult decision to make and I'm really sad, but in the end, it is best for not only for myself, but for the community as well.

Stay creative and happy writing!

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever. Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
