Hey everyone! My name's Taylor and I'm a freshman and a first-time writer for the Syracuse University Odyssey community! Here's a little introduction to let you all get to know me a bit better before I begin putting out more articles!

First off, I'm New York City!

But not Manhattan or Brooklyn like you might first imagine (#QueensRepresent)! Having been a month into college, I've realized that it's hard explaining where I live to anyone not familiar with the five boroughs. Well, to give you a slightly better picture, I'm fifteen minutes from the Long Island border, making the neighborhood I live in pretty suburban. So yup, I lived in a house my whole life and have my driver's license, but I also can tell you what trains will get you fastest from Bedford Park Boulevard in the Bronx to Boba Guys on Canal Street.

Speaking of Boba Guys, I also LOVE LOVE LOVE Bubble Tea!

Growing up in a neighborhood with literally ten bubble tea shops on the same street, I've been obsessed with it all before it became an Instagram trend. My favorite flavor is either mango green tea with lychee jelly or Thai iced tea with boba (both with half sugar or less, because I'm a grandma and too much sugar gives me a headache).

For fun, I also really like exploring new neighborhoods and taking pictures with friends. I have still yet to explore all of Syracuse, but I'm really excited to find interesting neighborhoods photogenic spots on and off-campus!

As for academics, I'm a Newspaper and Online Journalism major at the S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications! As you can probably tell already, I love love love to write and was involved in my high school's newspaper and yearbook!

Thank you all for reading and I'm so excited to start writing!

25 Thoughts Everyone Has When Registering For Classes

May the odds be ever in your favor.

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.

You can't say that no one told you life was gonna be this way.

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.
