This Is Real, This Is Me, Alex

Hey y'all!

So like the intro states, I just wanted to take the time to introduce myself to all you lovely rays of sunshine out there. My name is Alex and I am so excited to be writing for Odyssey.

I am from a small town in Texas called Wichita Falls, and I am a Public Relations major here at Texas Tech University, and I'm absolutely in love with the West Texas way of living! I am a second-generation Red Raider so I have been repping the scarlet and black long before my journey to Tech.

I am a constant busy body (I can't sit still), and I love being involved. I am an active member in Greek life, student government, and I have a part-time job! I am addicted to anything chocolate, I'm obsessed with my dog, Macy (Macy & I ft. above), I LOVE the artist Lorde, if I could drink queso I would, and I watch way too much Netflix (The Office and Parks and Rec are my go to). I am the oldest in my family followed by my little sister and brother. I was raised by two loving parents who make sure I don't have mental breakdowns to this day.

Now you may be wondering, "Alex you have a lot going on, why did you join The Odyssey?" Well, it's simple my friends: I love to write, create, meet new people, and encourage everyone to share their ideas. I wanted to create a voice for myself to be able to impact society in a positive way. In addition to that, I was the (and still am) the awkward goofy kid who loved getting to read and here other ideas and opinions, and by doing that, I was inspired to create.

So as I sit on my bed eating mac and cheese trying to forget its finals week, I wanted to just say hey to all you lovely people out there! So, "this is real, this is ME" -Camp Rock

See y'all later and "sleigh" finals!

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.
