Reasons I Write For Barnard's Odyssey Team

Have you ever had something on your mind that you've wanted to communicate to the world? The Odyssey Online is where we can make that happen. I've been part of Barnard College's Odyssey team since the beginning of the semester, and here are some reasons to join that I can personally attest to.

1. We have lots of ideas. This is a space to share them.

As I've seen with many Bold Beautiful Barnard Babes, we have an abundance of opinions waiting to be communicated. Odyssey allows us to do just that in the form of online writing!

2. We get an official link with our name on it.

All your writing will be collected under one internet domain: theodysseyonline.com/@yourname. Here's something to fill in the "link" category in our social media bios. It's a way of developing an online portfolio and looking professional.

3. This position's a resumé builder.

Speaking of professional, just think about it, we have the title of "content creator" or even "contributing editor" in a global online website. This'll give you that edge-up that you need when competing for jobs.

4. Writing is basically low commitment and with minimum requirements.

Here's an opportunity to share quick articles each week with no word count minimum. You can write anything from long stories to short listicles (like this one). It' your choice of topic. Take it from me: it's easy once you get the hang of it!

5. For the #GirlPower.

Now this is a Barnard specific reason. We're a community of women writers that read & share articles. Expect one-hundred percent support from everyone on our team.

6. For the money incentives.

It's simple. Write good articles that have significant meaning to you and you'll get money. You'll find out more once you join.

7. For all the New Perspectives

This is the best part. As a member of the Odyssey team, thinking of topics to write on will allow you to have a more open mind and experience the world from different points of view. I know I've had a much more AMAZING time exploring New York City through this position.

Are you ready to be a part of this writing adventure with me? Just reach out to us. Our Barnard Odyssey team is waiting for you!

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. 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. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

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.
