Men, It's Time To Step Up And Write

How else are we supposed to know how your brain works?

Men, It's Time To Step Up And Write

I know many can agree with me when I say that it's near impossible to understand the opposite sex. As an education major, I don't get the privilege to observe the other species (men) because I'm surrounded by females every day- which is actually great. However, I feel as if you (men) have a lot to say- but don't exactly know how to say it. Before I jump to conclusions, there are two amazing guys on our Odyssey team who produce quality articles weekly. But two men out of a sea of girls doesn't leave much room for representation. Now, I'm constantly thinking: what would help us understand one another's point of view? BINGO! Writing.

Many men whom I've talked to claim that they either don't like to write or don't think they can write. Well, as our two AMAZING men on the team can tell you, it's not as scary as it looks.

Odyssey is a beautiful platform where you can write whatever you want and share it with everyone that you know. It can be silly like 5 Images That Will Confirm Your Belief That "The Rock" And Dwayne Johnson Are Different People or for a serious example, "Writer's Block Almost Ruined Christmas. Men, your opinions are valid and deserve to be heard. We need you to be excited about writing. We need you to get over your fear of the "I can't do it" and start saying "I'm going to be the best writer anyone has ever seen."

How do you know that you don't like it until you've tried it? I know you didn't like writing essays in school, but who did? There's no heart, soul, or personal opinion in academic essays-unless you managed to throw some in there anyway.

Men, you can do it. We need your voice.

Ladies, we're rocking and rolling. Encourage your male friends to write. They have such strong opinions (usually about things you didn't realize mattered-but actually do). Is a hotdog a sandwich? What is ravioli really? Should you eat spaghetti with a spoon or a fork? Is Mac n Cheese considered pasta? You may be laughing and saying "who would actually write about those things?" but I have never seen my dude friends so passionate before in the rigorous debates we have over these exact topics.

Men, we want to know how you think, and I dare you to start writing.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

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.

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

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.
