Coming to you from a small town you've probably never heard of.

Letter From The Editor: Odyssey Has Arrived, Westminster!
Mike Peters

New Wilmington, Pennsylvania.

A small town you probably have never have heard of, but it is home to Westminster College, a small liberal arts school, and it is the newest addition to the Odyssey family. New Wilmington is really small. We are also in the middle of Amish country, but it is absolutely beautiful. We may not have much to do, but we have a community of college students who have some of the biggest hearts I have seen.

My name is Mike Peters. I am the Editor-in-Chief for the Westminster Branch here, and I am so incredibly excited to be a part of this wonderful team. I am a Broadcasting & Media Production major, but I am not just a one trick pony. I love writing. I am very passionate about the things I write about. Not only am I passionate, but this team is passionate about writing — they are wanting to become better writers, and you can't teach that. We all come from different towns, different backgrounds and different majors, but we are some of the hardest workers you will meet.

Odyssey stands for a lot of things. They are a company that cares about their employees and their readers. They have very similar standards to those that I apply to my life, but here at Westminster, we try to strive for those standards in the classroom and everyday life. I can talk endlessly about both Odyssey and Westminster College. Here at Odyssey, we write about almost anything, and I can say after reading some of these articles as a college student that they have helped me in more ways than one. Our team here wants to do the same thing by providing you, the reader, an enjoyable and exciting experience with every article we publish. We hope to tug on some heartstrings, make you think and wonder, and maybe even give some useful advice.

I am very excited to be a part of all this. It all still seems surreal. When I started on this journey a few months ago, I never would have thought that all this would happen. But it has! Be prepared. Westminster is coming, and we are here to stay.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
