Writing on a public platform with a fan base like the Odyssey would allow me to describe to the nation different facets of the life of someone who has moved over 800 miles for college, leaving my family, friends, dogs, and boyfriend behind. With a platform like the Odyssey, I can help other people who have done a similar thing (moving so far away) come to terms with their situation and describe the benefits of it. Each and every person experiences the world differently, and providing my opinions will add to a greater national conversation on the way my specific demographic views topics relevant to the country.
