On Returning To Odyssey
The Sweet Setup

The last few months have been very much a time of transition for me. Because of all of this, many different aspects of my life have been shuffled around in my list of priorities, especially as my time has been extremely limited. Unfortunately, Odyssey is one of the many things that has suffered because of it.

Right around the same time that this transitional period began for me, I had a sudden drop-off in Creators, as everyone in my community was having difficulty keeping up with everything they'd obligated themselves to. I wound up with no team here at UIndy except for myself, and that prevented me from wanting to write anything myself. While this is not the ideal situation, it is what I found myself left with.

Since then, I have wrestled with whether or not to attempt to rebuild this community or just let it go. I ultimately decided that I wanted to return to Odyssey and do my best to get my team back up and running again, in large part because I genuinely missed writing articles and working for and with my team. While I'm sure that it will take a decent amount of time to rebuild everything, especially to where things were before so many Creators were unable to continue.

I really do hope that I will be able to return the University of Indianapolis Odyssey team to what it once was, and I hope that there will be many people who will be interested in joining (or rejoining) the team to work with me. I know that this community can be great because it was before, and I have very high hopes that we can reach that point again.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
