An Open Letter To My Odyssey Team
Maureen Wruck

To My Amazing Odyssey Team,

I wanted to take this time to thank you for all of the hard work each of you has put in to be a member of my team.

Thank you for the little things: showing up to meetings, contributing ideas in our group chat, getting your articles in on time, and sharing them on every platform you know.

Thank you for the big things: helping with recruitment, picking up an extra article when someone else couldn't write, and for not backing out the first time you hit writer's block.

Thank you for introducing me to new ideas on topics you hold close to your heart. Thank you for submitting personal content that tugged on my heart strings, and even made me cry sometimes. Thank you for being supportive of one another. Thank you for welcoming each new member with open arms and showing them the ropes when they were confused. Thank you for sticking by the team when times got a little tough.

Whether you stayed on the team from the very beginning, joined very recently, or are even no longer a team member, know that I am forever grateful for everything you contributed to the Odyssey team. I am thankful to have spent time getting to know you through your content and watching all of you grow as writers. I hope none of you ever stop writing.

Most of all, thank you for making me the Editor In Chief I am today. When I took on this position, I wasn't sure if it was something I was totally ready for, as it was something I had never done. But because I had an awesome team behind me, being your EIC became easier and easier, and a job I would do all over again.

Thank you for everything. No matter what, we will always be a team.

I love you all,

Your Very Proud Odyssey Cazenovia EIC

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
