Why I Am A Part Of Odyssey

No, we don't get paid.

Why I Am A Part Of Odyssey
Odyssey

Whenever I tell someone that I create content on Odyssey, the responses are always the same. “What’s that?” “Do you get paid?” “Why would you write for them if you don’t get paid?” It may be surprising to some but I do create content on Odyssey WITH NO PAY! Not everything is about money, people!

I create content on Odyssey as a way to express my thoughts and feelings. If you’re having a bad day, you can go home and just write. If you have an idea or a thought to get across to someone, you have the power to write about it. Odyssey is my coping mechanism in that it’s my outlet to just vent or talk about anything that is on my mind. It’s never good to keep things bottled up, you should be able to talk or write about it to someone. My “someone” just happens to be to all of you!

Odyssey has been a great tool in my writing abilities as well. If something is incorrect or sounds weird, our editors are always there to catch it. I know of a few people who don’t like Odyssey due to there sometimes being "spelling errors" or "not sounding correct." I say to those people who don't like our website that if it bothers you that much, then don’t read it!

If you need an outlet to let your emotions out and just write, I highly encourage you to join Odyssey. No, you don’t get paid. But you get the ability to write your heart out and feel good while doing it. Doesn’t that sound so much better than money?

40 Gift Ideas for the Indecisive

It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. But also a time of stressing over the perfect gift.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…
