My Hiatus From Odyssey

Sometimes you need a break.

My Hiatus From Odyssey

This past semester, I was absent from the Odyssey. I made the decision to take a break from the Odyssey because my classes were more demanding than expected. I suddenly was producing a TV show episode, running a social media campaign for a local organization, and had an internship on a documentary. (Plus two jobs but we won't talk about those.)

Thus, my content was failing and I hated it. It was nothing against Odyssey, more against me. But I must say, having this break from making myself produce content every week has really helped my creative juices renew and I actually feel like I’m doing well in school and can publish articles that I am proud of.

This is an article to say it’s okay to have to take a break from something every once in a while. If it’s something you love but you start to spite it, it’s time to step back for a while. Writing has always been my passion and I never want to let it go indefinitely. Since I stopped forcing myself to write so much, my writing is better and more passionate. I feel like most creative people go through a phase like this where they have to take a break and wait for that muse to come back. (Not saying that my muse is back, but I'm trying to get it back.)

So, I am going to try my hardest to produce content that makes me proud and is something I am interested in and love. It may be hard at first, but I think it'll be worth it in the end.

Dear High School Friend Group,

My sweet angels, where would I be without you guys. We all grew up together because we either met in middle school or high school and watched each other grow up and get "old." We got to go to prom together and then graduate together. Then watched each other as we continued our lives in college, joining sororities and meeting people who will impact our lives forever. It all has happened so fast.

Oh college, we can’t live with you, but we can’t live without you. It’s a love/hate relationship, really. College is an experience that no one can ever prepare you for, and maybe that’s a good thing. You never really expect any of the things that college encompasses until you are there. College is fun, but don’t have too much fun. C’s get degrees, but they don’t get you into graduate school.

Blair Waldorf

The "Gossip Girl" series may be over, but Blair Waldorf's iconic character lives in our hearts forever. Blair was the queen of the Upper East Side, and a character you either loved or hated. She taught us everything we needed to know about life, love and of course, how to score a Chuck Bass. So the next time you feel a bit lost and are in need of guidance, look no further than to the Queen B herself.

As I spend my Sunday avoiding my homework and other adult responsibilities, I realized that I've watched this series over and over about a million times. Sadly, there isn't a Blair quote I don't know, so I came up with a list of a few favorites. You know you love her...xoxo

College is an endless cycle of crappy, sleepless nights, tedious, boring lectures, and hours of never-ending piles of homework.

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.
