I am very thankful that I was able to write for such a great platform and got to share my thoughts about EVERYTHING to everyone. I just want to say thank you for reading my articles and thank you to The Odyssey for giving college students a platform to be able to write their thoughts on.

This is such a sad goodbye as I type this article because this is also my last full week of college classes. Saying goodbye to The Odyssey is hard because over the past 7 months I have been writing for them, it helped me find my voice as a writer and become a stronger writer as well.

I can't believe that seven months and 32 articles later, this is the end with me and the Odyssey. I really enjoyed being able to talk about anything I wanted, although some weeks it was very crunch timing, especially when you have five other papers due that week as well, I would not have traded this experience for anything.

The Odyssey taught me that not everyone will agree with everything I publish, but you should always be proud of your work regardless. It helped me realize that I am not alone. There are many people out there, going through the same things I am going through.

I know some may ask what did you gain out of this. I gained being able to meet new people who enjoy the same passion as I do, but I also gained a moment of creativity and expression. Writing for The Odyssey was a practice run on what I want to make a career out of.

This might be the end of my Odyssey career, but it is not the end of my writing career.

Goodbye Odyssey, You'll be missed.
