Hey there! My name is Mitchell Zimmermann and I am the Editor in Chief of ASU Odyssey. I joined Odyssey Online in 2018 as a reporter. In January, I was promoted to be EIC, so I've been in this role for about 7 months now!

I am a broadcast journalism major, looking to minor in political science at the Walter Cronkite School of Journalism and Mass Communication.

Now in my sophomore year, I have been editing articles for one of the fastest-growing communities in Odyssey. Not only am I involved with this publication, I also am the Vice President of Public Relations and Marketing for the Walter Cronkite College Council. I'm basically the social media guru for the organization!

I'm originally from Huntington Beach, California, but I've lived in Surprise, Arizona for almost my entire life. I like to say that I'm half Californian and half Arizonan because I would always spend my summers in H.B. all the way up until my senior year in high school. A fun fact about me is I have the same birthday as Hoda Kotb AND Shawn Mendes! One of my favorite news anchors and one of my favorite artists, I got really lucky with my birthday date. I am a Leo, so I'm super passionate in everything that I do and I am dramatic sometimes, well, a little more than sometimes. Also, I'm a HUGE Green Bay Packers fan, I have the cheese head to prove it.

Get to know all of our reporters by reading their monthly "Meet the Reporter!"

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
