Get to Know Us: Caleigh Shaw

Hi! I'm Caleigh Shaw, and my name is pronounced like California, not Kaley or other spellings. Here are the answers to all the icebreaker questions that people ask.

What's your name? Caleigh Shaw.

Where are you from? Metro Atlanta, Ga.

What's your major? Writing and Linguistics at Georgia Southern.

What year are you? 2018 (most likely).

I plan on writing books or screenplays, and I would like to get into the business of publishing whether it's as a literary agent or an editor. My job would, literally, be reading books all day, and what's better than that? I plan on traveling far and wide, and settling down in New York.

Here are some facts about me.

1. I'm probably 50 percent mac and cheese because of how much I ate as a child.




2. The shows I'm currently obsessing over are "Mad Men," "Grey's Anatomy," "The Office," and "How I Met Your Mother."



3. I have self-published a book that I did for a project in high school, and you can buy it. (I find it a really cheesy young adult novel.)



4. My favorite movies are "Breakfast at Tiffany's" and "Pride and Prejudice" (2005).




5. I have been to Italy, Greece, and Turkey, and I can't wait to see more!


6. I'm really introverted, and I don't talk a lot.



7. I'm crazy about saving money, but once I go shopping, I can become obsessive and impulsive.



8. I'm a huge Potterhead (I reread the books often) and I'm a Whovian, too.



9. I like Chacos, but I own Tevas (which are Chacos cheaper equivalent.) Both are awesome, though!


10. I somehow only have classes on Tuesdays and Thursdays (thank you writing classes)!



11. I can laugh on command.



12. I get the hiccups a lot, and I sound like a puppy.



13.I don't like fruit. Every time I try a fruit I hate the texture.




14. I'm so excited to be part of the Odyssey team! Can't wait for all of you to read what I have to say!

5 Benefits Of Learning Different Languages

It's a pain to learn but it's definitely worth it in the end.

learning different languages

When I was learning how to talk, I was taught both Portuguese and English at the same time. In elementary school, I started taking mandatory Spanish classes, which I did well in because of my knowledge of Portuguese. Then in high school, on top of taking Spanish, I also started taking French. Now, in college, already fluent in English and Portuguese, I'm in the process of becoming fluent in Spanish, and I have a standard high school level understanding of French.

I am without a doubt one of those people who refuses to start decorating for Christmas or listen to Christmas music until after Thanksgiving. Unfortunately, Thanksgiving has become an underrated holiday over the years. You barely see any Thanksgiving decorations in stores; it's like they skip right from Halloween to Christmas.

Some universities only get two or three days off for Thanksgiving break. Or, if your university is like mine, you get the whole week off go go home. A whole week off is a long time.

Here are some ideas as to what you can do to get the most out of your Thanksgiving break.
