Why I'm Thankful For Our Odyssey EIC

Anybody that has ever been part of an Odyssey community knows just how important an Odyssey EIC is. In the case of our Odyssey group, our EIC was the founder of our community. She built our team from the ground up and she brought us all together. Now, we’re a powerful team. We are small, but we are mighty, and it’s all because of our leader that has brought us together and made us a great team. Here are just a few reasons why I’m thankful for our EIC.

1. She is always there for us.

Whether we’re having trouble coming up with an idea for our articles or we’re having life issues, our Odyssey EIC is there for us constantly helping us out and putting us first.

2. She teaches us about dedication.

No matter how busy her life gets, she never throws in the towel nor abandons ship. She seems to always have something going on between school, work, her personal life and Odyssey, but she remembers just how important she is to our team. She’s our leader and knows just how much we rely on her.

3. She is so patient with all of us.

The Lord knows that our EIC deals with so much. She handles all of the messages concerning issues with article submission, when articles will go live and any other questions that creators have throughout the week with grace and dignity.

4. She has given us the opportunity to be part of something greater.

Without our EIC, some of our creators probably would have never met nor interacted with each other on campus. There are quite a few students at our university and it’s easy to just ignore the people that you haven’t been formally introduced to. Through Odyssey, though, I have met and been blessed with the opportunity to work with some of the most creative and beautiful people on campus. Because Nicole decided to create our team on campus, we have all had the opportunity to meet each other, get to know each other, and be part of something greater.

There’s something so wonderful about seeing all of the articles shared each week via social media that was written by our creators. To see what really interests people my age and to read work that people have put their heart into is absolutely wonderful.

Before I joined our Odyssey team, I never really shared my writing with the world, but Odyssey gave me the confidence to share it, and people actually liked it – some of them even wanted to know what I had to say. None of this would have been possible had it not been for Nicole’s determination and perseverance to create such a strong, successful team.

Thank you, Nicole, for being our leader. Thank you for being the mom of our Odyssey family and for always supporting us. Thank you for creating such a wonderful team and family. Thank you for being you and for being such a wonderful role model for all of us. Most of all, thank you for loving us. We are all so grateful for you!

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.

1. It's easy to be fooled by shiny things.

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.
