Changing my major was one of the best decisions I've made. It has opened up so many doors, including writing for Odyssey! Not only is communication a key to life, but as a communications major, you are also representing Journalism, PR, Advertising, and Social Media Marketing. Take pride that you are a part of the Communications community.

1. You get excited for writing assignments.

Five more papers? No problem! You can fly through them in two days.

2. You NEVER stress about deadlines.

Your time management skills are so on-point that you never have to worry about deadlines. Thank your professors for piling mounds of work on you.

3. You're always on social media.

You'll find me on Instagram all the time, but don't worry, I have an account on every platform you can think of. Oh, and don't forget about the News App.

4. You can't use the excuse "I didn't check my phone".

We are ALWAYS on our phones. Everyone knows it, too. Unfortunately, you have to come up with a better excuse as to why you're nonchalantly avoiding someone. If you didn't see their text on your phone, you sure did on your laptop.

5. You always do better on short answer questions. 

If there are short answers on an exam, you bet we are doing them before the multiple choice. Multiple choice questions trick us too easily. There is never one correct answer in our minds.

6. Group projects? 

Group projects are never an issue for you. Communicating is your forte, but your nervous instincts always tell you to be the team leader.

7. The most annoying thing someone can ask is, "So, what can you do with a Communications degree?"

Hmmm. ANYTHING!

It is that time of year again. Christmastime. It is one of my favorite seasons for a myriad of reasons. Here are just a few reasons why I love Christmas. This list is in no order of importance.

1. The Christmas decorations

I am that person who will decorate directly after Thanksgiving is over. This year, my roommates and I put the tree up in our apartment before we even left for Thanksgiving break. It is a great stress reliever for me to just sit in my living room and work on the huge amount of work I have before the semester is over.

Mistakes are something we all make, no matter how old we get. Most of the time, the mistakes we made are little and sometimes due to something out of our control. Yet, there are mistakes that are bigger than others. Personally, I have mistakes that I wish I could go back and undo. Here they are:

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?
