In May 2016, Odyssey at North Carolina Central University launched its team of writers. As writers and college students, we often write about what has the greatest effect on us. This could be anything from new techniques or "hacks" we have learned to make the school year a bit easier, to the election and why we are not sure of who would represent our voice the best.

That is just it. It's our voice that we want heard. That is one of our main purposes as a team of writers, to have our perspectives seen and our voices heard. Whether it's about why majoring in the arts is not a horrible idea or why tuition should not be as high as it is, we all have an idea and a perspective that we want seen.

Our community at North Carolina Central University is now welcoming new content creators (writers) on board. As we are a very diverse community/team, it does not matter what your major is as long as you have a voice and ideas that you want to be heard. As students that attend an historic black college and university, we are often times looked over for various opportunities and looked down upon for not attending a predominantly white institution. Although there is nothing wrong with attending a predominantly white institution, we often see things through a different lense. This is why our perspectives matter.

If you or anyone you know has a unique perspective and very bright ideas, I encourage you to apply or have them apply. As EIC, I am so excited to welcome new individuals to our team as we look to add to the greatness.

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.
