If you're like me, you love writing and sharing your thoughts online. The Internet is a wonderful place to find new, creative ideas and share your own opinions (controversial or otherwise). One really great way to do this is the platform I'm using now: The Odyssey Online! Odyssey is an online platform for people just like you and me to write and share ideas through college campus communities. Every week, creators curate new and exciting pieces for the world to see. Here's why you should be one of them:

1. It's so much fun!

Writing is a blast, and it's even cooler that you get to share it on the web for so many people to read! You can write things you're passionate about, things that make you laugh, or just anything that comes to your head!

2. It's great experience writing on a social platform.

Odyssey gives you that little boost that you need to start writing on a larger platform. Millions of people read these articles from communities all over the United States! Your article just might be the next viral sensation all over Facebook! (You'll never know if you don't try it out, know what I'm sayin'??). Which brings me to my next point...

3. Your articles will be broadcast to a huge audience!

As long as you share and push your articles, they will reach more people than you'd ever dream. Which is awesome, because who wouldn't want their stellar writing skills to be noticed by tons of people?

4. You'll have a chance to express controversial opinions (or not).

Odyssey allows you to write whatever you want as long as it's something you think people can relate to. Odyssey creators write controversial pieces all the time, from religious and political beliefs to social justice issues. Odyssey creators also write fun pieces too. You get the best of both worlds, here (cues Hannah Montana music).

5. You'll meet so many new friends!

I've met some amazing people in my community during my time with Odyssey, and I've loved every second of it. It's honestly a blast getting to know other people in your area and finding out what everyone is interested in.

Applying to be a creator is easy! Just head to this link to apply, and select your school or area as your community! Hope to see a whole lot of new smiling faces joining Odyssey very soon!
