Get to Know Us: Alexandra Jones

Hello, Odyssey lovers! I'm so happy to be able to say that I'm a new contributing writer to this site. I'm a sophomore PR major here at GSU, as well as the current PR coordinator for Delta Phi Epsilon. Most of the time, you can find me freaking out over how unprepared I feel for life, and the rest of the time you can find me binge watching a Netflix series to try and avoid exactly that.

Ready or not, here are some random things you should know about me.

1. I have no self-control when it comes to limiting my Nutella intake.

2. I live and breathe the motto “Esse Quam Videri” (To be, rather than to seem to be), because being your best self trumps trying to be someone else, any day, amirite?

3. Give me a rainy day and "Dirty Dancing" and I'll be one happy girl.

4. Videos of military personnel returning home to their family members and anything to do with proposals or weddings make me cry. Every. Single. Time. Which drives me crazy because I refuse to admit I have emotions.

5. If I had the means, I would drop everything this very second, to travel the globe.

6. I have two sides to me -- the high maintenance, extremely driven Blair Waldorf, and the quirky, go-with-the-flow Jessica Day. Unfortunately, there is no in-between.

7. I need a blanket on me at all times, no matter what season it is, because I promise you, I'm freezing.

8. Ice cream is basically an extra tier I added onto my personal food pyramid.

9. Watching scary movies constitutes a form of torture for me.

10. I can be a little dramatic from time to time (see #8).

11. I'm awkward and scatterbrained, but I refuse to let that stop me from confidently marching (okay, stumbling), through life.

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.
