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.

And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

College is a great place to meet people, especially through Greek life. If you look closely at sororities, you'll quickly see there are many different types of girls you will meet.

1. The Legacy.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
