Hello! My name is Mary Kate, and I'm a college kid from Upstate New York going to school in Connecticut trying to figure out everything for myself, from surviving the torture that is Organic Chemistry to trying to master the art of contouring. As I walk around campus, I see and hear things that really make me think, and I think writing for The Odyssey would be a great medium to share those thoughts because if I'm thinking them, then somebody else might be too. One of my goals (besides perfecting my contour) is to keep finding out who Mary Kate really is, and I'd like to think I'm on my way there!
