Thank You, Odyssey Writers.

No, this is not a parallel universe. Yes, you deserve credit and recognition... because all of this you do is a "little lot of a big deal"

Thank You, Odyssey Writers.
Tim Marshall

I thank you. I thank each and every one of you. I thank you for all of your ideas and beautiful, thoughtful, and diverse content.

I thank you for leaving your hearts and minds out here, so others can see it and reflect, or relate, or simply be entertained.

I thank you no matter who you are, where you are from, whether your last name is Perez or Smith.

I thank you and I can care less about your sexuality, religion, or sexual preference.

I thank you, not having in mind what candidate you like.

I thank you for being yourselves every time you type, and for your honesty and uniqueness in doing so; for not holding back.

I am proud for the opportunity the Odyssey has given me. I am also proud of sharing the Odyssey with such amazing group of writers, diverse in many aspects, but united by this single bond.

I am asking you all not to stop. Do not stop sharing your minds with the world. The job you (we) do may influence one person, or a hundred, or thousands. Although number is such an irrelevant factor here; it takes only one soul to move a million others.

I am convinced of your passion, therefore of your ability to transfer it.

I want to tell you that you are not a number; you are not just one in the 7.5 billion. You are special and have proven it through this medium. You are unique and whoever disagrees with your content proves that point. Nobody has your mind, and "nobody have their own mind". Yes, you have just theorized diversity.

You are complex and capable to stand out, and I am proud of you for showing it to many, many other human beings, without fear.

You are more knowledgeable than anybody else of your own world. Yet you are selfless, because you choose to share part of it with us.

You are something else, Odyssey creator. Keep that in mind every time somebody tells you otherwise.

You are truly an amazing individual, making changes in the few or in the many.

You already made a difference, you are accomplished.

I'll tell you something last, Odyssey representative, and don't think I'm lacking content so I have to repeat myself (to reach the right amount of words). I'll tell you again that number is irrelevant. You only need one to have millions.

Remember, there is only ONE world.

It’s here; that time of year when college students turn into preschoolers again. We cry for our mothers, eat everything in sight, and whine when we don’t get our way. It’s finals, the dreaded time of the semester when we all realize we should have been paying attention in class instead of literally doing anything else but that. Everyone has to take them, and yes, unfortunately, they are inevitable. But just because they are here and inevitable does not mean they’re peaches and cream and full of rainbows. Surviving them is a must, and the following five phases are a reality for all majors from business to art, nursing to history.
