If you were on the Odyssey team, what would you write about?

If You Wrote For The Odyssey
Makayla Mowel

This week I wasn't sure what to write. I don't know if it's writers block or maybe I've just lost my magic (let's hope not). Then an idea popped into my mind: "I wonder what other people would write if they were on the Odyssey." So I decided to ask a couple of people what they would write about and make a list of those things. Whether I use this for my own ideas in the future or if someone else does, I just hope everyone finds it entertaining and interesting!


Olivia: "Me."

Followed by...

"You should write what it's like to live with a celebrity because I was on the Team US."


Nicole: "How to be sassy when your boss gets on your nerves." *extra salty flare*


Maddie: "Interesting ways to make money in college." For example: Writing contests, on campus jobs, returning cans, selling to Plato's closet, etc.


Destiney: "What it's like to be in a serious relationship during your college years."


Jenn: "Climate change."


Olivia (after she realized she was being too egotistical): "Why tattoos are addicting."



Lauryn: "Why having a sister is so great!"


Sam B: "I would write about something to do with taking care of our planet and each other like stop being so harsh and rude and start being caring and compassionate. We have to be the generation to change and stop the hate rather than fall into it ESPECIALLY with all of the recent events."


Jae: "What it feels like to lose a child and how to cope with the days that follow."


Sam C: "Why support animals help."


Daniella: "I would write about what it's like telling your parents you're pregnant at 15. It's not easy and not all parents are accepting. I would also tell people what to do in that situation and really educate them on what their options are."


Overall, I loved all of the responses I got! Some of them are things I have never really thought about writing and others are topics I haven't experienced or been educated on. I'm sure there will be a day where I can't think of an idea again and now I have this article to look back on!

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

winter

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings. All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
