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.

11 Things Summer Nannies Can Relate To

As a college student, being a nanny over the summer is both enjoyable and challenging. Underneath the seemingly perfect trips to the pool or countless hours spent playing Monopoly are the obstacles that only nannies will understand.

For my fellow summer nannies out there, I know you can relate.

If it hurts now, it'll hurt again. Not because you're gullible or naive, only because you fall fast, hard, and you do it every time.

We fall each and every time with the complete and utter confidence that someone will be there to catch us. Now that person we SWORE we were never going to fall for has our hearts, and every time we see them our palms start sweating. The butterflies in our stomach start to soar and our hearts are entirely too close to bursting out of our chests.

I understand. When you feel like your drowning and there's no way to stay afloat I understand that it feels like everyone else is doing just fine. I understand all the frustration, long nights in the library, and that feeling that you want to just throw in the towel. I understand that sometimes it's too hard to get out of bed because your brain is already filled with too much information to remember. I understand because I am also feeling pretty burnt out.

Some of the best advice I've ever received was from my social studies teacher in sophomore year of high school. He stated, "If you don't know it at midnight, you're not going to know it for the 8 a.m. exam, so get some sleep."

It's such a simple piece of advice, but it holds so much accuracy and it's something that the majority of college students need to hear and listen to. "All-nighters" are a commonality on college campuses in order to cram in studying for an exam that is typically the next day.
