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?

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

College is a great place to meet people, especially through Greek life. If you look closely at sororities, you'll quickly see there are many different types of girls you will meet.

1. The Legacy.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.
