Sometimes not knowing what to write about is the best way to actually get your feelings down on paper, or this case online. Odyssey has always been a great outlet for me to get out my feelings whether they are positive or negative.

While my articles don't always get as many shares as I think they should, it still makes me proud that people have taken the time out of their busy lives to read something that I created. I have many, fully written articles that are left as drafts because I never think it's a good time to share the content on them.

One of the many things I love about Odyssey is that you don't have to censor your opinions. Sure, there may be some topics in which people may not always agree with, but that’s the great thing about this: you don’t have to agree with someone’s opinion to get fully engaged in the content.

Writing for Odyssey has definitely shown me that I have a voice, even if I’m just one person. If you join our team, it can do the same thing for you. In a world of over a million people, Odyssey has made me feel like I’m a someone.

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.
