Meet The New Editor In Chief

Hey, everyone!

My name is Devin Edgar and I am officially the new Editor in Chief for Mississippi State's team of Odyssey. I know it is a little late in the year, especially with there only being about five weeks left in the Spring semester, but I am so excited to take on this position here.

Just a brief introduction: I was born and raised in Pensacola, and somehow found my way to the charming, little, college town of Starkville, Mississippi. I'm a member of Zeta Tau Alpha, and I proudly wear the crown. I'm a proud proponent of breakfast for dinner, coffee at midnight, and oxford commas. The most important thing, though, is my incredible love for writing, the field of Journalism, and Odyssey. So, that is why I'm so excited to be the EIC.

I started writing for Odyssey shortly after the Fall semester started as a Psychology major. I started with no great intentions, or expectations, but it really changed everything for me. I realized just how much I loved writing, and how much it meant to have my voice heard. I want everyone else to have this same opportunity as well.

This year, Mississippi State has reached record-breaking enrollment numbers. With that being said, I know that there are tons of talented people that can bring so much to our team of Odyssey. Our team hasn't taken off as much as I hoped, nor has it taken off as much as I know it can, but I know that it will in the future. We all go to such a great school — a school that has so many stories to tell.

I'm hoping to open this team up to everyone — males, females, Greeks, and non-Greeks. I want everyone to get the chance to have their words, thoughts, and opinions, heard.

If anyone who comes across this has any questions, and would like to get involved, please feel free to contact me, or anyone on Staff. Applications are also always available to submit online as well. Also, if you have any ideas that you feel like would better Odyssey community at Mississippi State — send them in! I can't wait to continue this community on our campus.

So, cheers to a fresh start! I look forward to serving such a great college community.

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.
