There are some weeks when I am completely inspired to write. Other weeks, I am not inspired and don't know what to write. With an over-saturation of content lately, it's hard to stay original. Here is a list of some article ideas that can potentially help someone who's writing an article for Odyssey, or even another platform.

1. A response to a recent news article or opinion piece that you've read.

2. X Beauty products you use that aren't tested on animals.

3. An article outlining ways that people can support a specific cause, such as preventing family separation at the border.

4. X things you do for yourself to boost your confidence.

5. An article about someone who has profoundly impacted your life and why.

6. Why you love or hate being single.

7. An article about things you should know when traveling to __________.

8. An article about what inspires you to be creative and why.

9. An article about something you thought you would regret doing and didn't end up regretting it.

10. An article about what media sources you trust for your news and why you trust them.

11. X thoughts you had about a recent episode of television.

Odyssey can be an incredible platform to share important thoughts we have about the world going on around us. Let's continue to contribute to conversations intelligently while also sharing some articles on pop culture and entertainment that are all of our guilty pleasures.

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.

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.

The people that spend their summers at the lake are a unique group of people.

Whether you grew up going to the lake, have only recently started going, or have only been once or twice, you know it takes a certain kind of person to be a lake person. To the long-time lake people, the lake holds a special place in your heart, no matter how dirty the water may look.
