It's so much more than just writing

Why Joining Odyssey Was One the Best Decisions I Made in College
The Odyssey Online

In my younger years of college, I often found frustration when it came to social media. I would always find articles circulating through Facebook, Twitter, or even Pinterest and think how liberating it would be to write so freely about topics that were currently discussed. I often contemplated creating a blog, but I wanted to be apart of something bigger than that. I didn't just want to write for me and about me, but for others and about others as well.

It wasn't until my sophomore year of college where I was given the opportunity to become a part of an involved community dedicated to contributing to the discussions and debates among millennials, and that is with Odyssey.


I still remember the day that I received the text from my current editor, Jessica, months ago. I was so ecstatic to have the opportunity to express my opinions and views while becoming a part of a team and representing my school.Since joining Odyssey I have not only been able to express my voice but become apart of something much bigger, which is a team. I am so proud of my editors and team of fellow writers and all the work they put into their articles. Everyone is so supportive with one another and give nothing but positive energy when it comes to writing. We are able to take our passion and influence those around us. By doing this we are not only able to write for ourselves, but others as well. It is because of this that I strongly urge fellow students, regardless of class, to make the same decision I did and become something bigger and join Odyssey, where you not only become apart of a team but gain a family as well.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

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.
