How To Write A Top Shared Odyssey Article
Writing A Short Biography

People of Facebook have all probably come across the online platform run by millennials known as "Odyssey." And that is because all the creators from Odyssey are constantly sharing their pieces of work with the hope that their articles will rack up the shares and earn them some fat stacks.

But as all you Odyssey readers and creators have seen these articles spread across your Facebook pages, you have perhaps noticed a trend in the format of Odyssey articles and what they tend to be about. And seeing these articles has either annoyed you or made you happy because of how they relate to you.

And so, if you have recently been hired as an Odyssey content creator, are considering working for Odyssey, or have stumbled upon this article in your Facebook feed, you are in luck! Because these are the steps you must take to write a common Odyssey article.

1. Be a Girl

Now before you guys get on my back saying this is sexist...well, forget it. I can't control my haters. I just gotta say it. The majority of people who read Odyssey are girls which means the articles that will get the most shares are the ones that are written by girls. This is because females know how to appeal to their own gender more than males and people of other genders know how to appeal to females.

2. Write an open letter to someone

What the hell is an open letter? Here is the definition: An overly dramatic letter to a no-name person that somehow is extremely relatable and gets tons of freaking shares.

3. Write about being from a small town

4. Have relationship troubles

5. Write about an issue that really is not relevant to today's society

6. Or get extremely political

7. Be a social justice warrior

8. Write about your college

These articles tend to rack up the most shares.

9. Write about how much you hate Trump

10. Be politically correct

11. Write about that guy you liked that never seemed to notice you (or know you for that matter)

12. Use the list format like this

13. Be relatable to millennials

Middle agers aren't going to be seeing your articles.

14. Go off on a limb about an emotional time in your life

15. Write about vacation spots

16. Write about what you see on social media

17. "Signs you"

I see this article template format incredibly often. "Signs you are addicted to coffee," "Signs you are basic," or "Signs you are a struggling female college student" are the routes to go in order to create a cracking good read that will spread all over the Facebook pages of millennials that will read your articles and appreciate how #relatable they are.

18. DO NOT Write about sports

While Odyssey Content Creators can be considered experts in the field of politics, relationships, and open letters. They cannot be considered experts in the field of sports. Avoid writing about this unless you have nothing else to write about because you will not get any shares from writing about sports.

19. Have friends that immediately share your articles

20. Have friends that post over-the-top messages of praise when they immediately share your articles

21. "Dear..."

Another article template that has the letter-type format

22. Write about your childhood

23. Write any type of short memoir

24. Decide to suddenly become an expert in anything

25. Give Tips to help incoming freshmen college students

26. Decide to become a victim of a certain cause

27. Oppose the status quo

And there you have it. Now that you know how to write an Odyssey article, you can officially become an Odyssey content creator today!

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.
