Farewell, Odyssey!

You have let me voice my opinions and thoughts and for that I will be forever grateful.

In May 2017, I began to write for the Odyssey, and little did I know that it would be one of the best decisions I have ever made.

The Odyssey has let me voice my opinions on some pretty touchy subjects that I would normally just bottle up and try to ignore. It also has let me express my emotions on so many topics that are extremely personal to me, but I figured many people could relate to it.

Unfortunately, this is my last article. Things have just been a little too crazy with working midnights, trying to do my best while finishing up my senior year of college, and volunteering as well. Although I really enjoyed writing for this website, I noticed that my input has been lacking since I have become even more busy (if that's possible.)

I just want to give a huge thank you to anyone who took even two minutes out of their days to read my articles. Those two minutes honestly mean the world to me because they show me that you care. You could have spent those two minutes doing something else, or reading someone else's article, but instead you chose to read mine and for that I feel pretty damn special.

Also thank you for understanding and respecting what I had to say. I know that some topics I wrote about may have been tough to swallow or some people did not fully agree with what I wrote, but I received nothing but respectful viewpoints and constructive criticism in return.

Now a little piece of advice for my readers (whether it be two of you, five, or ten), don't be afraid to let your voice be heard. Speak up for what you believe in, whether it be creating a blog, making videos, or joining an organization. Life is too short for your voice to be silent. You have it for a reason.

Also, because life is short, try to live a life without regrets. Work your ass off to get where you want to be, but also remember to cut loose and do something a little crazy sometimes (like jumping off a 850 feet building or something).

Each one of you is unique and beautiful for so many different reasons, let your light shine through. I love each and every one of you.

Forever sending all my love,

Kamille

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

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.
