You can be a Content Creator!

If you write for Odyssey and don't act as an editor, your title is content creator! Once you are a content creator, you get all the responsibility, but also all the perks, of the job. As a Odyssey content creator, you write one article a week about a topic of your choice. Being a content creator is a great way to share ideas, news, and passions with a large audience.

You can be an editor-in-chief.

You can be a contributing editor.

You can write about anything you want, as much as you want.

You can utilize a big social media platform.

When you write an article, there are a thousand different ways to get your article out there. You can share them on social media platforms you already have, like Facebook or Twitter, but you can also set up new social media sites, specifically geared toward writing. StumbleUpon is a site that is not extremely well known, but can be a good resource for sharing your work.

You can get into blogging or journalism.

If you are considering a career in journalism, writing, or even just interested in blogging, Odyssey is a great platform for you. You can write about a variety of topics that you are passionate about and share them with like-minded people. You also have a chance to get your work edited, get in the practice of writing regularly, and can see what topics attract the most attention.

You can become a better writer.

Writing articles once a week gives you a lot of practice in your pursuit of writing perfection. If you've done a lot of formal writing for school, Odyssey can give you experience in informal, more stylistic writing. Your articles also get edited, which can make you more conscious of your writing. Weekly writing keeps you in practice, which can't do anything but help your mad writing skills!

You can develop as a person.

Writing can be therapeutic in a lot of ways. Odyssey gives you a chance to write about whatever you want to, and I firmly believe passionate writing is the best writing. Explaining your feelings through your articles can really allow you to figure out what your feelings are, and help you really express your thoughts.

You can develop your resume.

You can write with a community of writers who are just as passionate as you.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
