Hello, My Name Is

A little bit about me (Jessica).

I have been writing for Odyssey for a little over a year now. I don't think I have ever introduced myself. This article is all about me.

1. I'm from Alabama.

I have always lived in the same house since I was born. Majority of my family lives in Alabama, but a whole heap of them live all over the United States and even further out.

2. Harry Potter is my favorite book.

This is the first book series to keep me up late into the night with a flash light trying to finish the story. I have never had a book hold my interest since this one, which disappoints me. It's like a high that I'm looking for.

3. Cats are my favorite animals.

My first TY Beanie Baby was a kitty, Nipper. I still have him (no shame). I also have two fur babies, Fluffy and Spitz.

4. Reba McEntire is the greatest.

Greatest what-- you may ask. Greatest artist, actress and entertainer. You name it, she is numero uno. I don't think anyone can comprehend my love for her.

5. I'm not a writer.

I don't particularly enjoy English classes. I like the reading portion, just not the response portion. I hate writing papers. I always enjoyed blogging, however. I kept my own personal blog for years (still have it). I just enjoy putting my feelings out there. I used to tell people they could read my diary.

6. I am an art major.

I changed my major twice before I decided to follow my heart. I'd rather spend lots of money on something I am passionate about than money on something I really don't care about. God blessed me with a creative mind so why not buff up my skills.

7. I can wiggle my ears.

I'm pretty proud of that. There's not too much impressive physical stuff that I can do, but I dang sure can wiggle my ears.

8. I love love.

Sounds funny, doesn't it? My psychology class thought so too, but it is true. Love is my most favorite emotion and decision. Love is beautiful. With love, you can conquer all evil.

9. Lists are a necessity.

I make lists for everything. I make To Do lists, To Buy lists, Travel Packing lists and Grocery lists, etc. The list (pun intended) goes on.

10. Sailor Moon is my inspiration.

The series is what fueled my desire for drawing. Also, it peaked my interest into other manga and anime series.

The 5 Phases Of Finals

May the odds be ever in your favor.

It’s here; that time of year when college students turn into preschoolers again. We cry for our mothers, eat everything in sight, and whine when we don’t get our way. It’s finals, the dreaded time of the semester when we all realize we should have been paying attention in class instead of literally doing anything else but that. Everyone has to take them, and yes, unfortunately, they are inevitable. But just because they are here and inevitable does not mean they’re peaches and cream and full of rainbows. Surviving them is a must, and the following five phases are a reality for all majors from business to art, nursing to history.
