12 Reasons To Join Odyssey

I am the Contributing Editor for my team, Millennials of Michigan. I can't begin to describe my team in words. I couldn't begin to articulate the sheer awe and admiration I have for every single one of their voices, their stories, their lives, and ultimately their work.

I have the pleasure or reading their pieces before the rest of the world. I get the pleasure of seeing and feeling their sadness, anger, excitement, and love before they share it with other people and I love them so much more for it. This isn't about them though... well it kind of is, in a way, but these are the 12 reasons you should consider joining one of Odyssey's teams!


1. You're Not Just Joining A Team, You're Joining A Family

Your team is your family. You learn and grow together with your writing, there's no other way.

2. You Will Make New Friends

Drop your number because chances are they're wonderful and ready to be BFFs

3. You Will Always Have Someone To Listen To You

Want to bitch about something your partner did? Have no fear! WE HAVE A GROUPME

4. Your Ideas Are 100% Valid

Afraid that you have no idea if you're doing or saying the right thing? Ask your Odyssey Family! They will give you constructive feedback, and even sometimes help you understand something you may not know.

5. You Get To Build Your Own Audience

When you start writing, you begin to build your audience based on how and what you want to base your content on. Who will you choose?

6. Your Editing Team Will Assist In Engaging You With Your Audience And With Yourself

The editing team is your friend; they can help you with just about anything from getting smaller issues to work, photos and covers, how to improve shares and views, or even life advice. We are here to support you!

7. You Will All Have A Mutual Dislike For Muse

Muse is the bane of all of our existences. We know this, and soon you will know this (they are, however, working on bugs so there's hope). *Loads for 10 years* or *Crashes 5 times in 2 minutes*

8. Sharing/Reading Your Fellow Family Members Work Will Be Thrilling

You get to read your family's content! People on your team will be passionate or funny or relatable so read and share to help out.

9. You Will Be Challenged

Everything you write will be challenged, you will be asked to examine what you're doing and who you're reaching out to.

10. Your Writing Will Enhance

The more you write, the better you will become. Write because you love writing, get better because you have the ability.

11. You Will Take This Experience Everywhere You Go (Including Interviews)

Dead serious, you can put this on your Resume.

12. Ultimately - You Will Be Loved

You will create a beautiful bond with your team, and they will love you.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
