Okay, so I have been staring at this screen for about five minutes now, thinking about what I am going to write for my first post on the Stephens College Odyssey. There is a lot to write about, but I should mostly focus on who I am, since most of you may not know me.

My name is Makayla Penny, but I prefer to go by Makayla Grace. That sounds more professional and artsy. I am a freshman here at Stephens College and I am majoring in Creative Writing as of next semester. Currently, I am in Digital filmmaking, but that will soon be my minor.

My life consists of reading, writing in my journal, spending time talking to my mom, taking pictures, stressing, binge watching Netflix, playing with my dog Eloise, and just trying to figure out life, and swiping left on Tinder (lol). I know that's a lot...

I decided to join Odyssey after reading several articles from people I knew who were on it with their community and just in general. I figure if they could do it, I could do it. Plus, I just needed something to add to my long list of things that I already do.

Some of my favorite things are:

- Avoiding homework till the last minute

- Cold weather to an extent

- Hot Chocolate that's not too hot

- Nighttime

- Learning new things

- My TV shows

- Hot guys

- Cliches

I really don't know what else to add. If you find me around campus, please say hello or give me a fist pump, whatever works for you.

I hope you all enjoy the content I will be giving out! I am excited to be part of this team!

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

College is a great place to meet people, especially through Greek life. If you look closely at sororities, you'll quickly see there are many different types of girls you will meet.

1. The Legacy.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
