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!
