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?

Dear High School Friend Group,

My sweet angels, where would I be without you guys. We all grew up together because we either met in middle school or high school and watched each other grow up and get "old." We got to go to prom together and then graduate together. Then watched each other as we continued our lives in college, joining sororities and meeting people who will impact our lives forever. It all has happened so fast.

Oh college, we can’t live with you, but we can’t live without you. It’s a love/hate relationship, really. College is an experience that no one can ever prepare you for, and maybe that’s a good thing. You never really expect any of the things that college encompasses until you are there. College is fun, but don’t have too much fun. C’s get degrees, but they don’t get you into graduate school.

Blair Waldorf

The "Gossip Girl" series may be over, but Blair Waldorf's iconic character lives in our hearts forever. Blair was the queen of the Upper East Side, and a character you either loved or hated. She taught us everything we needed to know about life, love and of course, how to score a Chuck Bass. So the next time you feel a bit lost and are in need of guidance, look no further than to the Queen B herself.

As I spend my Sunday avoiding my homework and other adult responsibilities, I realized that I've watched this series over and over about a million times. Sadly, there isn't a Blair quote I don't know, so I came up with a list of a few favorites. You know you love her...xoxo

College is an endless cycle of crappy, sleepless nights, tedious, boring lectures, and hours of never-ending piles of homework.

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.
