Get To Know Us: David Blake Walker

“There is the sudden. There is the eventual. And in between, there is the living.” – David Levithan

Aug 27, 2015

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!

Creating your schedule for the upcoming semester can be an exciting process. You have the control to decide if you want to have class two-days a week or five-days a week. You get to check things off of your requirement checklist. It's an opportunity for a fresh start with new classes (which you tell yourself you'll never skip.) This process, which always starts out so optimistic, can get frustrating really quickly. Here are 25 thoughts you have when registering for classes.

10 Thoughts Of A 5th Year Senior

What about those of us who don't do it all in four years?

"College will be the best four years of your life" is a phrase that we have all heard growing up. College is painted as a magical place to us while we are in high school. A place you go to learn, meet your best friends and probably have the time of your life while all of this is going down. Four whirlwind years, where everything that you've known changes and you start to learn what it means to live on your own, have a job, etc. But what about those of us who don't do this all in four years? Major changes, hard courses, switching schools, career paths changing, these are just a handful of factors that could extend your four years to five, six or seven. There is nothing wrong with taking extra time to graduate, but returning as a fifth-year is a little different. Most of your best friends have most likely graduated and moved and while you may be one of the oldest undergraduates on campus, you might feel as awkward as a freshmen. A world that became home and comfortable to you is still there but it's slightly different than you've known it to be and you have to find a groove to fall into. These are thoughts you'll have as you look ahead to returning to your college campus, with a victory lap planned.

In the 12 years since it went off the air, "Friends" continues to be adored by millions. The show that gave generations unrealistic expectations about love (or should I say lobsters?) and New York City apartments had a charming cast of characters that everyone could relate to at some point or another. Here are 17 times Ross, Monica, Joey, Chandler, Phoebe and Rachel accurately described life.

11 Times Aubrey Plaza Described Sophomore Year

Aubrey Plaza is one of my favorite humans in Hollywood. She's honest, blunt, unapologetic, and hilarious. I just started my sophomore year of college, and found that some of her best moments can accurately describe the start of the school year.
