A Look Into My Life

Yours Truly
David Petrozziello

Procrastination is a virus that almost all college students catch, and nothing is worse than a writer with writer's block, so when it took me a whole two days before I even began to think about how I should start my very first article, I wasn’t surprised.

My stalling was unintentional, I swear! One minute, my head is filled with great ideas for my writing, creating clever sentences that have the potential to be entertaining. In the next, I am opening and closing my mini fridge slowly to see if I can catch the light go out before the door shuts.

In reality, I understand that I am the only one to blame when it comes to how I manage my time, but when Netflix finally releases the second season of my favorite show, Stranger Things, after I’ve been waiting for over a year, I can’t blame myself for indulging.

Now that you know a little bit about my biggest flaw, let me introduce myself! My name is Sara Petroziello, and I am journalism and professional writing major at The College of New Jersey. I have a passion for writing, and I am extremely excited to create content for Odyssey!

I have a wide interest in many topics, and there will no doubt be a variety of subjects in my articles. One topic that I am particularly interested in is music. You can find me listening to anything from classic rock to today’s alternative, and everything in between!

Getting the chance to have my voice heard is really important to me. The fact that there is a place where young writers can come together and publish their own work that means something to them is astounding. I am thrilled to have this opportunity, and I can’t wait to get started!

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!

There is nothing quite like family.

Family is kinda like that one ex that you always find yourself running back to (except without all the regret and the angsty breakup texts that come along with it).

No matter how long your class is, there's always time for the mind to wander. Much like taking a shower or trying to fall asleep, sitting in a classroom can be a time when you get some of your best ideas. But, more than likely, you're probably just trying to mentally cope with listening to a boring lecturer drone on and on. Perhaps some of the following Aristotle-esque thoughts have popped into your head during class.

Bob's Burgers is arguably one of the best and most well-written shows on tv today. That, and it's just plain hilarious. From Louise's crazy antics to Tina's deadpan self-confidence, whether they are planning ways to take over school or craft better burgers, the Belchers know how to have fun. They may not be anywhere close to organized or put together, but they do offer up some wise words once and awhile.
