We can all agree that everyone has had trouble at one time or another with coming up with ideas for a project-whether it be for a paper, something to do when bored, or just writing your weekly Odyssey article. It is essentially one of the most difficult issues to have since you know that you need to do something but you draw a blank.

But unlike the thousands upon thousands of idea lists that you can find on a wide variety of sites for things such as boredom or an essay, its not as easy to find ideas for an Odyssey article.

I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
