Meet ASU Odyssey: Amanda Fennell

Hi! My name is Amanda Fennell, and I am a reporter for Arizona State University Odyssey. I used to write for Penn State's Odyssey team, while I attended PSU Abington and majored in Criminal Justice. For personal reasons, I took a break from school, and thankfully have been given the opportunity to enroll in ASU online classes, where I will major in...well...Something new! All of the crime shows are great to watch, but I decided making them real life for me as a career just wasn't the best choice. I am ready for new beginnings, a great positive outlook on things, and a new Odyssey team full of equally wonderful people!

Straying away from school, let me give you further insight on my life. I am originally from Brooklyn, New York, but moved just outside of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania when I was younger. Yes, we do consume a copious amount of cheesesteaks! I live with my boyfriend and a few of my closest friends...a group of all guys...And then me. Let me tell you, that gets quite interesting. However, I can't say that the toilet seat has been left up more than twice in the two years we've all lived together, so I guess they stray away from the stereotypes. And before you ask, yes, Saturdays are mostly for the boys, and it is usually full of Yuenglings, junk food, and Fortnite. Also, I have learned to become wonderful wing-woman.

I love to paint, do photography, draw, create artsy stuff, and obsess over Disney. I honestly am an encyclopedia for Disney, especially Walt Disney World. I can't say where my love for the popular vacation spot started, but in my twenty-one years of life, I've been there well over thirty times. My goal is to get to Disneyland, and then the parks in other countries! Baby steps, though.

I also work as a Barista at Starbucks. I can honestly say that I have never been happier at a job in my entire life, and I plan on being there for a while. Also, the menu never gets boring! Being able to come up with the craziest drinks is awesome!

I really love to write, and my mom still finds passages from stories I made up when I was in kindergarten. I hope that everything I write for this team can inspire, reach out to, and inform everyone that reads it! Even if it's a good laugh or a new food item for you to try, I hope that you can take something from my page, and I look forward to creating!

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.
