9 Odyssey Article Ideas For The Hopeless Writer

In This Article:

Writing an article a week can be difficult. You know what's even more challenging? Coming up with ideas for each week. Fun, fresh content that at least one person will find interesting.

If you write for Odyssey, you're probably accustomed to sending a panicked text to your school's Odyssey group chat begging for ideas or banging your head on your desk a few hours before the expected deadline without a proper idea. Trust me, I've been there.

And I'm totally there this week. I had two ideas, scratched them both completely, then decided I would write something like this! Unoriginal? Maybe. Helpful? We'll see!

Here are some article ideas that I could never pull off, but maybe one of you can!

1. 10 Reasons [insert breed here] Are The Best

Everyone loves animals! They're adorable, they get views, and what's not to love?

2. 10 Characters I Would Let Stab Me

This is an unexpected kind of answer that could potentially reveal a lot about a person. Would you choose characters you're attracted to, characters you're afraid of, characters you trust, etc.?

3. I'm Obsessed With [insert food here], And Here Are The 10 Best Places To Get Them

A great article for the foodies of the world! I'm always interested in hearing about new places to eat—especially for one of my favorite foods! I'm always looking for the best crepe place around. (Farmhouse Crepes in Storrs, CT, is up there for me.)

4. What My Coffee Order Says About Me

A healthy dose of self-analysis in the morning is always fun. I don't drink coffee, but I'm always curious about how people take theirs.

5. 10 Ways I'm A Total [insert star sign here]

I'm not really into this stuff, which is why I could never tackle this article (although, you should never say never when it comes to writing), but they're always relatable and someone will enjoy it!

6. 10 Quirky Icebreaker Questions To Ask At Your Freshmen Orientation

Forget "where are you from"! Ask "what is the last book that made you cry" or "if you could learn one language automatically, which one would you choose"! Let's keep it interesting, people.

7. A Letter To My Younger Self

These kinds of articles often benefit the writer as much as they benefit the reader. It's helpful to do some self-introspection, and it's heartwarming to see how far you've come.

8. 10 Of My Favorite Words In [insert language here]

Languages are fascinating! If you know more than one, you should feel proud and share that with people.

9. If I Could Go Back In Time, I'd Watch [insert match here] In Person

If you're a sports fan, this could be an interesting one. You get the chance to talk about why you enjoy watching—or playing—a particular sport, and why you support your team. You could also analyze a past match that a lot of people enjoyed too.

Hopefully, one of these ideas resonates with you! If not, just choose the most interesting title you can, and roll with that idea.

8 Things I Realized After My First Semester In College

Actually, Kylie Jenner, 2018 is the year of realizing things.

Friends

The first semester of college is famous for being one of the most difficult transitions of one's young adult life. You're thrown into a completely new area where the majority of the people surrounding you are strangers in an academic environment that's much more challenging then what you've grown accustomed to for the past twelve years. On top of that, you probably share a room with another person (or even multiple people) on the lumpiest "mattress" you've ever slept on.

With this change comes a lot of questions: what do I want to major in? What am I passionate about? Is what I'm passionate about something I'm actually good at? Why does the bathroom smell like cranberry juice and vodka? What is that thing at the bottom of the shower drain?

6 Unrealistic Expectations Society Has For Young Adults

Don't let the thesaurus-inspired vocabularies in our résumés fool you. We're actually just big kids.

Well over four feet tall and 100 pounds in weight, many of us "young adults" of the world still consider ourselves children. Big, working, college-attending, beer-drinking children. We may live on our own, know how to cook noodles, and occasionally use a planner, but don't be fooled; the youthful tendencies that reside within us still make their way into our daily lives. From choosing to stay up until 3:00 a.m. playing video games on a school night to going out in 30 degree weather without a coat, we still make decisions that our parents and grandparents would shake their heads at in disappointment. So why are we expected to know exactly how to be a wise, professional, sensible adult? It's not that we're irresponsible (for the most part, anyway). It's that we are young, inexperienced, and still have the sought-after, enthusiastic mentality that we can do and be whatever we want, which has not yet been tarnished by the reality of the world. These are just a few of the unrealistic expectations that society has for young adults.
