Why I Write On Odyssey And Why You Should Too
Mari Reaves

These past few months on Odyssey have been tough. We've had so many changes come our way and we've handled it but not somewhat gracefully. I had to switch to writing bi-weekly because my work schedule is crazy, and I never have time to write anymore, and I also have no idea what to write.

This week was the same. I work 35-40 hours a week and on a regular Wednesday night, I sit at my computer and just sit because I don't know what I want to write about. So, this is why I chose to write on Odyssey.

I have an insane life story. For those who know, it's crazy and I haven't even told you the good parts. I wanted a way for me to be able to write about my life story but I'm still unsure of how to approach it.

I love to write. English class was my favorite subject in school. I took a creative writing class once and just fell in love with writing. I don't care if I'm not good at it. It's begun to be a passion.

Articles about my dog. Never a bad time to spread the love on my fur baby.

It's my outlet. I don't have a lot of friends. I'm very anxious in social ways to where I just do talk to people. I also have an RBF, so that helps me SO much. I don't have anyone to talk to really, so Odyssey has been a great way for me to express how I feel in certain situations. I've never been one to just be out there about my beliefs so it's helpful to have a system to where I can say my peace.

The community. I have met so many girls in the Odyssey community that have really helped me in many ways and I've enjoyed the social events we've had together. Overall a truly positive and inspiring group of girls and boys who are so talented and wise in their young years.

I write because I'm passionate about it and Odyssey has given me that power. Writing for them will really change how you see certain topics and you make new friends. It's worth it.

It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. But also a time of stressing over the perfect gift.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…
