Thank you for always holding me to my deadline.

Discipline: can’t live with it, can’t live without it, am I right? If I was going to learn to meet my deadlines the hard way, I'm glad it was with you by my side.

Thank you for encouraging creativity.

I never had a beat, or even a plan most of the time. I just wrote what I wanted to, and you always let me.

Thank you for introducing me to so many fantastic guys and gals.

What an amazing experience it was being a part of Michigan State's Odyssey team. The amount of talent I was surrounded with was overwhelming at times, and I wish every member of the team all the best.

Thank you for making my Sunday mornings oh-so joyous.

This one may or may not be a little sarcastic but, in all honesty, I did love the feeling of turning in a piece I was really proud of. Thank you for providing me with the opportunity to cover the topics I found most important and, even more so, thank you for making them due by Sunday. I might not have discussed the things I did if it weren't for the encouragement of this platform.

Thank you for everything.

I truly can't thank you enough, Odyssey. It’s been an honor.
