This is me (Katie's introduction)

A little introduction of myself

This is me (Katie's introduction)

Hello! My name is Katherine Kraus, and I attend Winona State University (call me Katie for short.) I am a freshman with a social studies education major. I am very excited to join the odyssey team!

Writing isn't something that isn't new for me. I've actually been writing since I was in middle school. It never was anything as significant as this though. Knowing people will actually read my articles and my thoughts is the most exciting thing to happen for me in a long time, and as a first semester college student I feel this is a great way to relieve some stress.

Overall I'm not sure what I'm going to write about on here. I think it will vary a lot depending on what inspires me for the week. I am very much in love with anything to do with nerdy stuff like superheroes but I'm also a huge history/politics geek (hence the social studies major.) So one week it might be my thoughts and theories about what's going to happen in the next Avengers movie and the next it could be about the pending election that is soon to happen. My goal for this though is to make people want to continue reading and to get an insight what its like for someone growing up away from home since I'm originally from four hours away from Winona.

Once again I am very excited to join the Odyssey team and I'm looking forward to continuing to improve my writing skills and as a way to keep myself writing!

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.
