When my Odyssey community wanted to go to our local corn maze/pumpkin farm, I was so pumped. Who doesn't wanna walk around a corn maze, bond with other creators, and take cute, basic pictures in front of pumpkins? These were just some of the things going through all of our heads as we navigated the 12-acre corn maze!

​1. I paid $8 for this??

I have no sense of direction, so essentially I paid $8 to get lost.

​2. I'm sweating, and I think it's rolling down my back

The day we went was not exactly summer weather but it wasn't full blown fall so it got a little toasty in that maze.

3. I think we've been over this bridge 14 times

There were a few bridges and look out points and I think we legit walked over one 10 times #oops

​4. My feet hurt

The soil in the corn maze was a little soft which made it hard to walk through.

5. I just got smacked in the face with corn

There was some unruly corn and I def got hit in the head a couple times.

​6. I wish I didn't wear new shoes

We were all dressed fairly cute so we could take pics afterwards but some of us were not wearing functional shoes for hiking through a corn maze.

​7. I wonder how scary this would be at night

I would never want to be in that maze at night because it would be so spooky. What if there were animals or someone hiding in the corn?

​​8. I think a bug just bit me

Someone in my group started talking about how there were probably corn spiders in the maze and just the thought of that made me want to d i e.

9. Corn mazes are an amazing bonding experience

We had a group of 12 people and I feel like we all got to know each other a lot better in the hour it took us to figure out how to get out of the maze.

10. How tall are these corn stalks?

Living in Illinois, I've drove past a lot of corn in my life, but I always forget how tall it really is!

11. I love fall

Zoe Johnson

The crunchy leaves, the cute pumpkins, the warm apple cider, the fun corn mazes, the crisp autumn air what's not to love????

Everyone should get themselves to a corn maze or pumpkin patch this fall, buy some apple cider, and enjoy the best time of year. See if any of these thoughts crossed your mind next time you find yourself navigating through some very tall corn.

What I've Learned About Friendship During My First Year Of High School

Friendship isn't always as easy as it's made out to be.

Friendship. It's defined as the state of being attached to another person by feelings of affection or personal regard, but what really is friendship? Is it that occasional hallway talk with that one person who always manages to cheer you up? Is it that relationship you have with someone where they can be gone for a long period of time, but when they come back, it's like they never left? Is it spending every waking hour with someone, and knowing every detail about their life? Is it the relationship that's filled with fighting, but filled with even more resolution? I've learned that it's all of these things, and every friendship is different. It's a beautifully dysfunctional mess that should always be cherished and never be taken for granted.

I've known you your entire life. More than likely I held you in the first three days of it and at least one of us cried. Cousins are truly one of the best things in the world and while sometimes I complain about how many people crowd Grandma's living room on Christmas Eve, I wouldn't trade you all anything.

You are my best friends, the only people who can understand what it's like on Thanksgiving, and you are the spunkiest people I have ever met. But you as so so young, most of you are just now starting your adventures in the public education system. I mean, I'm so very young too. I'm not married, I don't have children, heck, I just started my adult life, but I do want to give you what little advice I have. My dears, these are the things I want you to know.

Trust me, once you start "One Tree Hill", you will be hooked. There's way too many reasons to list as to why you'll love this show, and these are just a few.

The first two weeks of classes have come to an end and they have been anything BUT easy. It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

Although this seems like the best solution, it is also the easy way out. Take it from the girl who took basically a whole week off from her life because she just could not handle everything that was being thrown at her. This caused her to feel extremely lonely and even more stressed out for being behind in classes that JUST began.
