I've been writing for Odyssey for about three months now, and I am really really enjoying it. I've recently been trying to recruit more content creators, so I've had a lot of time to reflect on the reasons why one would want to write for Odyssey. I decided to put together a list of reasons as to why you should write for Odyssey and why I write for Odyssey. Here they are:

1. Free speech

Odyssey is a platform created to give writers a voice about whatever they want. You have the ability to write about whatever you want with whatever opinion you want. You aren't forced or told to write about certain things.

2. It's a good opportunity

If you want to be a writer, this is the perfect opportunity for you to get some good experience. Whenever you're trying to get a job, "content creator for The Odyssey" looks really good on a resume.

3. It's good writing practice

Writing new and different articles every week and publishing them to share your writing with the public is good practice. Every week you get to write about something new; new ideas, new style of writing, etc. This is really good practice for writers to learn how to better their writing every single week.

4. This is a platform to use your voice

Odyssey is a good platform to use your voice in positive ways. You can help people by putting your thoughts and experiences out there. You can inspire and actually make a difference and that's the greatest feeling in the world.

5. It will prepare you for any future writing field

Odyssey has deadlines which is something that will absolutely always occur in a writing industry. This prepares you to reach and follow deadlines in a sometimes quick manner while still writing great content.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

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.
