I love writing basically whatever I feel like writing every week, but sometimes it feels like there are too many options. The irony; essentially no restrictions, yet every week I can't seem to think of a topic. Here are 10 thoughts we have here at Odyssey every week when deadline is approaching:

1. What should I write about this week?

Literally anything. Why is this so difficult?

2. Why am I having trouble hitting a 300 word mark?

*finally thinks of a good topic* This should't be hard...I always have a lot to say.

3. Who designed the Muse website?

Seriously....Muse needs a makeover! More than once have I logged in to go over an article again, and it's gone.

4. Why does adding in gifs and photos take longer than writing the actual article?

Don't you dare think you're done after just writing. Oh no, that's only step one. Now it's time to search for gifs and photos and upload every.single.one. to the beloved muse

5. *finds the perfect cover photo* Doesn't fit.

Time to hit up Pixlrexpress.

6. Why is coming up with a meta title description so difficult?

I feel like it never fits my article as much as it should.

7. Ahh yes, finally finished.

Happy dance.

8. *article goes live* Of course, now I notice typos.

The worst is when you find...the dreaded "your" "you're" mixup. How will I ever come back from this?

9. Does everyone have this many difficulties?

Just keep telling yourself "yes."

10. Time to start over again

It's really never over. An article goes live and it's time to jump back to #1. Don't let this fool you though, it's a love-hate relationship. We wouldn't do it if we didn't want to.

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

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.
