As a college student, coronavirus is having a direct impact on your everyday life. Some students have been able to return to campus only to be sent back because of an upsurge in cases. Some have been virtual all year. And some students are back to school, but not back on campus.

In this Odyssey template, you'll be covering what it's like being a student at your college or university during the COVID-19 pandemic.

BEGIN TEMPLATE

Headline:

I'm A Student At XXXX [University] And COVID-19 Has Been [Your Experience]

Introduction:

Start your piece with some basic identifying information — what school you go to, how long classes have been in session, how classes are being run currently, and any data your school has active cases on campus.

Then, you can answer any of these questions either in listicle format or in paragraph format.

  1. Are you living on campus or off campus?
  2. What has your experience been like on campus?
  3. Do you feel safe being back at school?
  4. Are students and faculty wearing masks? (Include any official policy set by university?
  5. Are students and faculty social distancing?
  6. Have there been events off-campus where masks and social distancing aren't being used and implemented?
  7. What do students have to say about COVID-19 and being back on campus? (Ask 2–4 people about their experience, quote them in the article.)
  8. How has your educational experience been since starting back?
  9. Do you think your university will shut down again, or make it through the semester?

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
