My Experience With Odyssey
admin#cms/content/957432/headline

So Odyssey has been a major help for me over the course of the year. It has helped me improve my writing tremendously. The people at the odyssey have been nothing but nice to me and helpful throughout the weeks leading up to today.

Odyssey has amazing people in it. I think that everyone should at least participate in a group like this. Even if you are bad at writing they will help you no matter what. At the beginning I was bad at writing but every once and awhile I would be able to create writing just by a single word. After I thought of the story I wanted to write, they would help rewrite it. They always believed that everyone has a talent that can be written about.

Odyssey became my second home. It has been my official place to vent about anything there is. The world, politics, things that grind our gears, and stuff that makes us laugh, sing, and sometimes cry. Odyssey has never let me down and has always come through. They have been there at my worst and have been there at my best. I have been through hell and back but even then I have written on Odyssey. It makes me feel better than anything I have ever felt.

I tried very hard not to make this article but today, February 4, was my mom's birthday and it has been awhile since I have talked about it but today has troubled me. Even writing this now gives me tears in my eyes, but I guess Odyssey can do that. It makes us cry, laugh, smile, and think hard about different things that we never really thought about. Even now I get people telling me that I am a great writer and have hidden talents. hearing things like that make me realize that I need to keep doing the things I do. So Odyssey I just want to say thank you for everything you have done. This semester is going to be great just because of you and when I say you I mean everyone at the Lander Odyssey. Every since joining this group, no this family I have been better. The experiences I have had in this family are unforgettable and unreplaceable. Thank you, Odyssey and all you have done.

The 5 Painfully True Stages Of Camping Out At The Library

For those long nights that turn into mornings when the struggle is real.

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate

"A Christmas Story" is the star on top of the tree.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate
Mental Floss

One staple of the Christmas season is sitting around the television watching a Christmas movie with family and friends. But of the seemingly hundreds of movies, which one is the star on the tree? Some share stories of Santa to children ("Santa Claus Is Coming to Town"), others want to spread the Christmas joy to adults ("It's a Wonderful Life"), and a select few are made to get laughs ("Elf"). All good movies, but merely ornaments on the Christmas tree of the best movies. What tops the tree is a movie that bridges the gap between these three movies, and makes it a great watch for anyone who chooses to watch it. Enter the timeless Christmas classic, "A Christmas Story." Created in 1983, this movie holds the tradition of capturing both young and old eyes for 24 straight hours on its Christmas Day marathon. It gets the most coverage out of all holiday movies, but the sheer amount of times it's on television does not make it the greatest. Why is it,
then? A Christmas Story does not try to tell the tale of a Christmas miracle or use Christmas magic to move the story. What it does do though is tell the real story of Christmas. It is relatable and brings out the unmatched excitement of children on Christmas in everyone who watches. Every one becomes a child again when they watch "A Christmas Story."
