The Odyssey....? But why??

Odyssey...Everyone who is on social media has read and/or shared an Odyssey article at least once. Anything and everything, from movie reviews to "top 5 reasons to own a yorkie". If you want information, the Odyssey is the place to find it! But for some, this social media platform can become much more than reading and sharing an occasional article. What if you were the one to create one of those "most viewed" articles? That question is what sparked my interest.

I wanted somewhere to put my thoughts on issues that were going on in our generation, and I wanted my voice to be heard. I also wanted an outlet that had nothing to do with schoolwork. The Odyssey provided both of those things! When life begins to get hectic, I can turn to the Odyssey, read a couple of articles, gather inspiration, and write my own article to share. Frustrations, tips, movie reviews, advice. I hope to be able to share it all and create positive discussions in return. Why the Odyssey? It provides an outlet, a free space, an information source, a discussion platform, and ultimately a community of people with interests very similar and very different from yours that you can share thoughts with. I believe one of the best ways to learn is from your peers, and the Odyssey gives that opportunity at your fingertips! "Why The Odyssey?", you ask. My answer? Why not.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

Who could be a better friend than your own sister?

sisters

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.
