Hello everyone, my name's Colin Romaglia and I'm a reporter who will be contributing to the Arizona State University (ASU) Odyssey. I'm a sports journalism major and digital audiences minor at ASU's Walter Cronkite School of Journalism and Mass Communication. I joined the Odyssey Online as a sophomore.

Due to my ever-growing love for sports, most of my coverage will surround various teams, athletes, and the impact of sports on society. Occasionally, I plan on branching out to tackle non-sports content, because as we all know, there's a lot more to life than that.

I hope to bring you all content from what my friends would call a mature, unique, and humorous perspective. Nothing brings me more joy as a writer then to make someone else think, "wow, I never really thought of it like that".

Outside of the Odyssey, I'm a student worker inside ASU's Digital Audiences Lab and I'm the Director of Sports Podcasts for Blaze Radio, ASU's student station. I do enjoy writing, but I also take a lot of pride in my skills as a broadcaster and digital marketer.

Originally, I'm from Fair Lawn, New Jersey, so needless to say getting used to Arizona has been a massive lifestyle change. My favorite sports teams are all over the map, as they include: the Pittsburgh Steelers (NFL), the New York Yankees (MLB), the Minnesota Timberwolves (NBA), and the New Jersey Devils (NHL).

I'm definitely an old soul, and if I could go back in time, the choice is hands down being sent back to the roaring 1920s. My favorite author is F. Scott Fitzgerald and some of my favorite music artists include Frank Sinatra, Michael Bublé, and Toby Keith. Just think Captain America, but you know, without all the superpowers.

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:

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.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
