My Return To Odyssey

I'm back, now more than ever.

My Return To Odyssey
The Odyssey

Hello friends, I'm back!

After a long hiatus, I am back writing for the Odyssey.

Yes, I am very excited to be back.

I'm super excited because I truly believe that we need people to speak their minds now more than ever. I scroll through my Facebook wall and SnapChat news feeds and just succumb to complete shock about how mind-numbingly brutal and stupid this world has gotten.

These are not the particular news that I am talking about, but I think that its flashiness makes a definite statement on how the media has been getting to us lately.

Now more than ever, I feel like the voice of the people should rise and talk about the important issues. No matter opinions or facts, there is a desperate need for multiple conversations to be started and/or continued until they are resolved in a justified manner.

I am just one of the many who has something to say about multiple issues. I am just one of the many who desperately wants to search for justice in matters that are deeply disconcerting. I am just one of the many who has the chance to speak their truth and get out to try to make a difference. This seems legitimately un-impossible to do because social media is they key to reaching out to a wider public, a public that has a chance listen to a voice of one in many.

I have found my purpose. That's why I'm back and here to stay.

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.
