To My Readers, I Say Thank You

First and for most, I just want to say thank you for giving me an outlet. It is so encouraging for me to get on my computer and type away every week. I look forward to all of my articles going live so that all of you amazing people can take a little peek into my life.

I started writing for the Odyssey about four months ago, and it has been one of the best decisions for me. Writing is such a large part of my major. With the Odyssey, I am able to practice my writing skills and share so much of what is important to me.

Even in my short time of writing with the Odyssey, I have loved it from day one. I have wanted to start blogging for quite some time, but I could never figure out the way to start. Should I start a website? Is that too complicated? Will anybody even care what I have to say? There were so many factors that I just didn't feel like working through, so I just kept pushing it off.

I found out about the Odyssey, one of those questions was answered. I now had a way to share my stories/feelings in an easy way. I jumped on the opportunity to start blogging, and soon my next question was answered...you guys definitely care about what I have to say.

Since I have begun my Odyssey journey, many people have share encouraging words with me about how much they enjoy all of my pieces. Whether you guys find my articles inspiring, funny, or just a good read, you do not hesitate to share it, and I love that.

I do enjoy getting feedback from everyone on your feelings towards my articles. It gives me confidence in my writing, and it feels good knowing I made a little bit of someone's day.

I recently accepted the position of being Editor-in-Chief for the K-State chapter of the Odyssey, and I owe my success to you guys. Reading everyone's feedback, and just seeing the number of likes that my articles get, gives me more confidence to continue to write, and encourage others to begin writing.

Without all of my readers, I would not be creating and sharing all the things that I love. I ask that you keep on reading and keep on sharing. It keeps me going, guys. Thank you for keeping me going.

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
