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.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
