A Happy Farewell - Thank You, Odyssey

This platform changed my college experience.

A Happy Farewell - Thank You, Odyssey

As an active writer on the Odyssey platform since September of 2019, I learned about this platform through my school Florida Gulf Coast University. As my roommate was already a member and on the executive team for the FGCU Odyssey group, she encouraged me to join.

But this group was not like many college clubs where you were a member and you just would go sit in on meetings but not really do anything. Instead, this club was something that had all members actively participate each week by writing new content. From writing lifestyle to entertainment focused articles, I was able to express my interests in the form of writing and have fun with it!

Not only did Odyssey let me express my creativity, it let me grow inside and outside of the group.

After one semester in, I applied to become the FGCU Odyssey treasurer, and was able to fill that role for multiple semesters. I was able to gain funding for our club through two different bills over my time as treasurer and attend treasury trainings to help our group grow and thrive. Having the experience of being treasurer for a club let me build up my resume and help me better my future, which I will forever be grateful for.

As for inside the group, I was able to give my readers fun financial insights from the value of the luxury resale market to couponing hacks. I was also was able to write on topics that interested me, from "The College Girl's Guide" series of articles related to student life and seasonal topics to entertainment articles, one of which I got over 4750 views!

As an Accounting major where everyday is a new set of numbers and scenarios, having an outlet to promote my creativity is so important. While this might be the end of my Odyssey articles, this won't be the end of my writing journey. Goodbye Odyssey. Hello The Narrative on Medium!

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.

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.

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.
