Now that my time is coming to an end, I've been reflecting on some of the things I've learned from being a contributor to the Odyssey during my time at school. It's a great opportunity to get experience while you're still in school and earn a few bucks if you can crack the code like some creators.

1. How to make a bomb listicle

You can list almost anything in a clever way after a little bit of experience.

2. You can properly attribute any photo

Even the ones that you take yourself.

3. You can meet a weekly deadline

Without anyone breathing down your neck about it, you manage just fine.

4. You can make any need for an extension sound professional

You're hungover, but you can't say that. So let's talk about how you are 'currently unable' to write.

5. You can brainstorm like nobody's business

Your own articles, helping other people, rewriting, and all.

6. You can flip a headline around

Restaurant lists become "places for amazing eats."

7. You can self-edit anything

But you still appreciate all of the people behind you.

8. You can put CMS expert on your resume

Because you're basically a wizard by now.

9. You have a .GIF for everything

Because you never know which one you'll need.

10. A little team spirit over email

It's always nice to see one of your team members being in the top shared article of the week.

11. You have random tid bits of expertise

Listicles of odd numbers do better. Personal photos do better. Just things to think about.

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.

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.
