11 Things I've Learned While Writing For The Odyssey

In This Article:

Being a part of something for nearly half a year can have a lot of impact on a person. But, as they say, all good things must come to an end. As I bid my farewell to my virtual family, I shed light on what I have learned while writing for the Odyssey.

*Parental Guidance Advised*

1. Everyone thinks you're talking about the poem by Homer

2. Everyone reading from their mobile phone hates you because of the ads

3. The same three people from your team will be featured on the Odyssey Facebook page all year

4. All of the popular articles are just slight variations of one another that people copy

5. The goal seems to be what will stir up the most drama 

6. When people disagree with your writing, they don't say your idea sucks—they say you as a person suck. 

7. Your success is determined by how many people you can manipulate into reading your click-baited material

8. No one knows what you write about and they still hate you 

9.  Your future employer will hire you seeing that you have it on your resume

10. The editor will change whatever they feel like (without running it by you) and 9/10 times misspell something, making you look like the illiterate one

11. Did I mention it's clickbait garbage?

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

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.
