A Recap Of My First Year With Odyssey

February 25, 2016, was the start of my position with Odyssey. I joined on a whim and it's safe to say that it was totally worth it. My time here with Odyssey has been a blessing. I have made so many friends and have created so many great articles that have gotten so many positive comments and activity! This position is a learning opportunity. You learn a lot about your talents and skills but also a lot about yourself.Thank you Odyssey for giving me one of the best years of my life! I look forward to more great years of creating to come!

Creating articles and being able to share them with those around me is such a rewarding process. Seeing my family members and friends share my work gives me a sense of pride but also is so humbling. When I first began writing for Odyssey, I was not sure I was capable of maintaining such a challenging position. But my teammates and staff have made this process so easy for me.

To my editor in chief, Meghan, thank you for answering all of my phone calls when I don't know how to format or when my social share button malfunctions. I swear you are Super Woman. You are my go to girl and have the answers for everything (and if you don't, you find them). You have quickly become one of my closest friends and our friendship is something I will cherish forever.

To my co-editors, thank you for being so helpful and understanding. If I'm struggling to get homework done you always cover my back with editing and you are always there for support.

To my writers, you all are so intelligent and inspirational. Your weekly content is astounding and you all blow me away with the many talents you all show throughout your articles. Keep creating and keep believing because you will go far in life!

To Odyssey, thank you for giving me not only a good start to my writing career but for giving me a home. Odyssey is more than a social content platform. It is a place to escape and let yourself free. Writing is my therapy and Odyssey allows me to share my life with the world and for that, I will forever be grateful.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week.
