Hello again! For those that don’t know me, or haven’t seen my work before, I am the Editor-in-Chief of the Odyssey at Georgia Tech.

With over 1,200 communities across the nation and more than 14,000 content creators, it’s easy to miss or overlook a creator who is producing great chance. As a way to help you make sure you’re not missing one of those creators right here in Georgia Tech, I want to highlight someone this week that I think is creating some seriously exceptional content.

This week, that individual is Alex Martinez.

Have you seen her latest article? Check it out here: https://www.theodysseyonline.com/whats-home-to-you. My personal favorite is her letter to herself after failing her first college test, something I think all college students can benefit from reading: https://www.theodysseyonline.com/failed-test! She perfectly translates the emotions every Tech students feels into wonderful writing! A future female Lin-Manuel Miranda, perhaps?

Alex has been with Odyssey since October, but she has been killing the game on her personal blog for a couple months now. This gal sure has a way with words!! I recently asked her what she has gotten out of creating content for Odyssey:

“Being a part of the Odyssey has given me a chance to use my voice on campus to help my friends and my peers. You failed a test? Me too, here's my take on it. You miss home sometimes? Me too. Here are my thoughts. Struggling with finals week? Me too. Here's my advice. With the Odyssey, I get to take my experiences and turn them into something I know is helping another student at this school, and it's awesome,” she said.

10 Truths About Being In A Sorority

I remember my freshman year oh so well. I remember feeling terrified the night before orientation. The one thing that I dreaded the most was not the new people, the new environment, or even the academic pressure. I was dreading having to talk to sorority girls about Recruitment. I remember cutting off and avoiding any Rho Gamma/Panhellenic Officer that came my way during First Week. I looked at them like they had asked me to cut my arm off whenever they asked me if I wanted to rush. To be honest, I did not even know what rush was, but I knew that I did NOT want to be a part of it. To me, it was dumb. It was a waste of money. It was a waste of my time.

And guess what? I did not rush my freshman year. I spent the first half of my freshman year isolating myself from everyone on campus. I spent all of my time in the library, and then (since I was a commuter) went back home once my work was finished.
