Meet ASU Odyssey: Vanessa De La Torre
Vanessa De La Torre

My name is Vanessa De La Torre, and I am a reporter for Arizona State University Odyssey. I joined the Odyssey Online as a sophomore at the Walter Cronkite School of Journalism at ASU. I am currently studying Journalism with a focus in public relations and a minor in Business. Going into my sophomore year, I am covering topics ranging from student life, lifestyle, and more! Aside from Odyssey, I love photography, volunteering, and exploring different parts of whatever city I find myself in.

I am from Tucson, Arizona and I am a sunset enthusiast. With these Arizona sunsets, there is simply no better time of day. A little fun fact about me, I once worked at Chuck E Cheese and was not only best friends with the mascot, but was the mascot at times. Imagine that. I believe the best day of my life was when Khalid sang "Young, Dumb, and Broke" to me from the other side of the arena, but I swear we made eye contact. I love community service and seeing how little actions go a long way. I am a big believer in taking life one day at a time.

Get to know all of our reporters by reading their monthly "Meet the Reporter!"

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Being sick in college is really tough and definitely not a fun experience. Here are the 15 stages that everyone ends up going through when they are sick at college.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

For better or for worse

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
