It's Time For A New Chapter, Goodbye Odyssey

It is time for the next chapter to begin, so, it's time for me to bid my farewells

Here I am, sitting at a computer listening to one of my favorite YouTube animators, TheOdd1sOut, trying not to feel sad about writing this article, because it is my last article for this site that I have dedicated a lot of my heart and soul along with a good portion of my time to it.

There is something to be said when one chapter of ones life ends. A rollercoaster of emotions begin to take affect, while you try to prepare for whatever is going to come next. A mixture of sadness, nostalgia, and happiness form a ball inside your heart as you prepare to make the last few changes in your life, then bam. Everything changes. Back in 2019, I was approached via Instagram from one of my classmates to write for the chapter for our university, and from there, everything took a drastic turn in my life, as a writer and as an individual.

On this site I have written 80 articles, and all of them were linked to a lot of different issues that have been going on in the world, ranging from mental health to sustainability to sensory activities for special needs students. Not only that, but I have also been able to share several of my own poems, with the most recent one being featured. Being able to write a weekly article for this site has certainly helped my skills improve on every level imaginable, giving me a great experience for any future possibilities that may come my way.

SO, ODYSSEY, THANK YOU FOR GIVING ME THIS PLATFORM.

I can honestly say that without this type of platform I might not have been able to share my own views, own experiences, and help others find other methods to helping others out.

Not only was I able to write some interesting articles, but I was also was able to meet some amazing people through my universities chapter, including my editor, Jenna, who is one of the most unique characters I've ever been in contact with. And while I will miss writing for Odyssey and miss the other writers who I've connected with throughout the network, I will look back on this experience fondly, and be able to thank them for every moment and memory that came along with it.

Now, it is time for the next chapter of my life to open as I close this chapter. It is now time to graduate with my degree in Special Education and Business Communication, time to embrace whatever my career brings whether it be through being an author, or how I can help all who live with learning, physical, and mental disabilities in the education field.

Thank you, Odyssey for everything.

Thank you, MSSU for giving me a platform.

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.

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.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
