Hello, Odyssey readers! My name is David "Blake" Walker and I am the newest addition to the Georgia Southern Odyssey writing staff. I am 19 years old, a Scorpio, and a Computer Science sophomore. On my best day, I trip/fall/spill something on myself an average of 20 times. You can constantly catch me watching videos of dogs. Honestly, dogs are just better than people.

Here's a few things you should know about me:

• I love debates, be it: politics, social issues, etc.
• I come from a very large (and protective) blended family. I grew up with two brothers, and as of three years ago, I gained two step-brothers. Together, we make a perfectly dysfunctional "modern family."
• By being a writer for the Odyssey, I hope to close the gab between the LGBTQIA community at Georgia Southern and our readers.
• I'm very opinionated, but also very open to meeting new people.
• Born in Germany, raised in Columbus, GA, from Lagrange, GA. Most of my family lives between Columbus and Lagrange with the exception of my dad, who lives in Yuma, AZ.
• Sweet tea (real southern sweet tea) is a staple item in my life.
• My husky/pitbull mix, Lucy, has my heart.
• I'm an amateur painter (buy my stuff, please) and generally have at least 2-3 DIY/painting projects going at a time.
• I don't watch much TV or movies, but I love Supernatural and Friends. It's always good to love things that have nothing in common, right?
• Honestly, I'll be your best friend if you just let me pet your dog.

I'm very excited to start writing content for The Odyssey at the greatest school in the nation. As always, Hail Southern and Go Eagles!
