Why Joining Odyssey Is A Worthwhile Experience

Everyone has a voice. Whether you use it to talk about politics, sports, food, or anything you are interested in, we all want our voices heard. Odyssey gives you the freedom to nerd-out about whatever you want, start having your own following of readers, and even earn incentive money.

Here at VCU, Odyssey is more than just a website; it’s a team of diverse and unique individuals who all bring something to the table. Whether you want to write a niche article about a community you are a part of or start working on something viral, we can help you achieve the online presence you want.

Unlike a lot of other organizations, the leaders work incredibly hard to help make sure you genuinely enjoy being a part of our team and more importantly, we always make sure to have food at our meetings. From constantly hyping up each other’s articles on social media to just hanging out and talking to each other, we have created an inclusive, team-oriented environment that absolutely anyone can be a part of.

Within our chapter of Odyssey, you will have the opportunity to take on leadership positions and even get credit hours for the time you put into writing articles and participating in Odyssey-related activities. Even for insanely busy students, we are flexible in working around your schedule simply because we would love to have more unique voices writing for us!

With that being said, Odyssey members are not just limited to writing. If creating video content is your thing, we would love to help give you an audience to share your work with. We highly encourage our staff to display their photography skills as well by taking their own cover photos or lining their articles with images and gifs they have created themselves. We allow you to be the boss of your online content.

We would love for you to join us in publishing amazing content. If you are interested in becoming a part of the Odyssey family here at VCU, you can apply online at http://muse.theodysseyonline.com/apply.

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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.
