Ladies, Here Are 13 Things You Should Do To Step Out Of Your Comfort Zone
personal photo

Here at Odyssey, we believe in you. Just pick one of these things and go get 'em, tiger.

1. Go to a movie by yourself.

As ladies, we tend to be very social people. Try going to a movie by yourself and see what happens. You may be very uncomfy, but it'll be worth it.

2. Go salsa dancing.

This is EXTREMELY important for those of you who live in the south. Experience another culture aside from "yee yee".

3. Join a gym and learn how to lift weights.

Nothing is more empowering than learning how to get stronger. It may be uncomfortable since most girls are cardio queens, but do it.

4. Do something that you're terrified to do.

Yeah, I know this sounds cliché, but what's the scariest thing that you can think of? Personally, I'm terrified of heights, so definitely the whole ziplining thing is not on my list of fun things to do.

5. Go to an exotic restaurant and let the waiter/ waitress surprise you.

Who doesn't like a little bit of adventure? And culture? Win win.

6. Fast.

Fasting is something that you can do to step out of your bodily comfort zone and become spiritually recharged.

7. Do the Whole30.

This one's kind of like the last one, but it's uncomfortable to NOT be allowed to drive to Gumby's and eat pizza rolls.

8. Ask a boy on a date.

Face rejection. I dare you. You'll be so uncomfortable doing it, but the worst they can say is "no" and move on with their lives.

9. Switch up your style.

You know that crop-top that you've always been to afraid to wear? Put that thing on, girl. Chances are you'll get mega support from all of your other ladies too.

10. Have a genuine conversation with a homeless person.

Let's start treating people like people.

11. Talk to a stranger on the bus.

Imagine what a friendly world it would be if we all talked to one another once in a while and unplugged.

12. Visit a new country.

Have you ever been to Canada? It's out of the United States and is full of adventures! To make your adventure even more exciting, go somewhere where you cannot speak the language.

13. Spend a day without trying to constantly please people.

Be yourself, not who everyone wants you to be. Spend a day to be authentically you.

Epic Creation Myths: Norse Origins Unveiled

What happened in the beginning, and how the heavens were set in motion.

The Norse Creation Myth

Now, I have the everlasting joy of explaining the Norse creation myth. To be honest, it can be a bit kooky, so talking about it is always fun. The entire cosmos is included in this creation myth, not just the earth but the sun and the moon as well. This will be a short retelling, a summary of the creation myth, somewhat like I did with Hermod's ride to Hel.

8tracks radio

We all scroll through the radio stations in the car every once in a while, whether its because we lost signal to our favorite one or we are just bored with the same ol' songs every day. You know when you're going through and you hear a song where you're just like "I forgot this existed!" and before you know it, you're singing every word? Yeah, me too. Like, 95% of the time. If you're like me and LOVE some good throwback music, here's a list of songs from every genre that have gotten lost in time, but never truly forgotten.

beer on the beach

Summer is hot and humid, and it's almost like summer was made specifically to drink the refreshing, cold, crisp wonderful, delicious, nutritious nectar of the gods. Which is none other than beer; wonderful cold beer. With summer playing peek-a-boo around the corner while we finish up this semester, it's time to discuss the only important part of summer.
