Thank You, Odyssey!

Thank you for helping me step out of my comfort zone.

Thank You, Odyssey!

As I was trying to come up with an idea for my last Odyssey article, I began to reflect on what writing for this social platform has meant to me.

First of all, it allowed me to have a voice I didn't know I had. I got to talk about the issues that I'm really passionate about. The best part of it all was that people actually listened. To me, Odyssey is all about articles that people can identify with. Before I wrote for Odyssey, that's the reason why I read the articles on my news feed. I loved knowing that people related to my articles, and that was one of the main reasons why I wanted to write for Odyssey.

Odyssey also allowed me to step out of my comfort zone. I wrote about things that I would usually be scared to talk about, but Odyssey gave me a safe space to be who I am. The best part of Odyssey is the community, especially the Penn State Odyssey group. They have pushed me to write my true feelings. Everyone was always so supportive and encouraging, and that's exactly what I needed. I will never be able to repay and thank Penn State's crew enough.

Thank you, Odyssey for everything you have done for me, other writers, and other readers. Because of you, we all have felt heard and understood. You have touched our lives in more ways than one. Although my time has come to end my adventure with Odyssey, it will still be a major part of my life. I cannot wait to continue reading all of the incredible articles that come out of this platform. Thank you, Odyssey! Keep being great!

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.

1. It's easy to be fooled by shiny things.

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.
