Let The Countdown Begin For My Summer With The Odyssey

Excited is an understatement.

Let The Countdown Begin For My Summer With The Odyssey

“Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work.” -Thomas A. Edison

While the Odyssey has given me many things, if I had to narrow it all down to one thing it would be opportunities. The Odyssey has given me opportunities to grow as a journalist, editor and social content creator. This company has given me the opportunity to interview important members of today’s music industry, just a small portion of the music journalist career I hope to pursue one day. The Odyssey has given me the opportunity to have a voice on a social platform that has millions of viewers each month, both new and old. I have been given the opportunity to connect with thousands of millennial content creators across the country just like me.

Most recently, the Odyssey has given me the opportunity to intern with them in their New York offices this summer with all the people that work tirelessly each day to continue to give us more opportunities, and I couldn’t be more excited.

I can’t wait to see into the world that as writers and editors we see only catch small glimpses of in the New York office’s Snapchat and meetings with our managing editors. I will be a part of all the work that happens behind the scenes of the company and meet all the people that make it happen.

I am excited to get a closer look into our generation’s media trends and the potential future of the journalism field. I hope to learn about all of the Odyssey’s upcoming developments and projects and their future aspirations as a company. I am also glad I am getting the opportunity to be a small part of this growth of a major industry within the world.

I have grown to love the Odyssey for all that it has given me and the amount I have learned as both an editor and writer. I love that I am able to have a voice on a national platform and am so proud to be a member of such a remarkable company. I won’t lie either, my stomach dropped for each round of interviews, and would leave the conversation a nervous wreck until I heard the news from New York. Upon being chosen, I was in disbelief over the fact that I was one of 15 chosen out of such a large pool of applicants for such a remarkable experience.

While I fully expect to work my butt off this summer, I would be crazy to not admit that it will all be worth it and have had a countdown since March. I feel very fortunate to be given such a fantastic experience and can’t wait to see all the new opportunities unfold this summer with the Odyssey in New York City.

In honor of Mother’s Day, I have been thinking of all the things my mom does for my family and me. Although I couldn’t write nearly all of them, here are a few things that moms do for us.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
