Writing For Odyssey Has Definitely Helped Me
odyssey

Being in college, and doing so many things can be difficult. It's hard to balance classes, let alone a job, if you're commuting, and your social life. With the amount of things that I'm doing this semester, I'm surprised I have time to breathe and haven't gotten sick 100 times. Writing for Odyssey has to be one of the most rewarding things that I'm doing this semester.

It allows me to have my voice heard, and state my own opinion, without being interrupted in the middle of my sentence. Admittedly, finding people who have the same passion for writing as I do, and have enough time on their hands to actually write an article is hard. Finding content creators has to be one of the hardest parts of being on this team.

In society today, we're taught that if we don't have anything nice to say, then don't say it at all. But what if our opinion isn't nice, but it's how we feel on the topic?? Odyssey is a great way to share your opinion, without being lectured about it. Also, people can respond to your article without it seeming like they're personally attacking you.

Writing is a great way to let out stress, without taking it out on those around you. And odyssey is definitely a great outlet to write on. It has helped me a lot. Although I may snot be writing about the exact cause of my stress, writing in general relaxes me.

Hopefully it relaxes you too!

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.

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.
