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.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

If you’re anything like me, you love a good cup of coffee. My coffee always comes from Starbucks; I refuse to drink it from anywhere else. Over the years, it’s become one of my biggest addictions. So, if you are aware that you’re a Starbucks addict as well, or maybe you need to check to see if you’re an addict, here are seven ways to tell.

College involves a whirlwind of emotions, whether it’s from the stress of an assignment (or twenty), or from fighting with your roommate. It can be overwhelming at times and it’s important to take a step a back and calmly think things over. Maybe gain some perspective. The following aren’t foolproof tips and may not apply to you, but I was able to find success with them (hope you do too!)

It is no secret that many American traditions have changed over time. As we grow older we change in so many ways that it only makes sense that we also change the way we celebrate special occasions. Of course when it comes to the holidays there are some family traditions that many of us still excitedly look forward to, whether it is eating your favorite dish or seeing favorite cousin. However, we all know that the holidays have overall changed a little from what they used to be.
