I love writing. I wouldn't be writing for Odyssey if I didn't. Coming up with new article ideas is challenging and exciting. People will often ask me if English is my major or if I'm ultimately seeking a writing career because of the way I light up when I talk about it. I'm not. Actually, I am majoring in biology, and I aspire to go to law school. Needless to be said, I am a woman with an eclectic mix of interests. The whole left brain/right brain concept isn't so black/white with me. I approach school work with logical and analytical skills that make my left brain side sing, but outside of my academics I have a plethora of creative hobbies to satisfy the passions of my right brain self.

Being a lawyer requires an extreme attention to detail, critical thinking and problem solving abilities. The writing and speaking skills you utilize are polished, professional and purposeful. While a unique perspective can help to win a case, added creativity doesn't necessiarily give you bonus points. While I have had free time over break I have gotten the opportunity to revisit some of my favorite hobbies that are often disregarded during my busy school semesters.

An idea dawned on me as I sat down to write my article for this week. I am starting a blog to document all of my little passions behind the scenes of my academic life. I love writing (have I mentioned that yet?), cooking, photography, fashion, beauty and makeup, and I thought it would be a great experience to share all of my life's little joys with individuals that have the same interests.
