Dear Family, Friends, Santa, or whoever is reading this right now,

If you’re still struggling to decide what to get us for the holidays this year, look no further. I took the liberty of generating a list of things us Odyssey Online writers REALLY want during those seven or eight nights or under our Christmas trees!

And if you can’t get us these things, no worries! We’ll accept cash, checks, or gift cards instead!


1. A Waterproof Notebook

An absolutely essential tool for when inspiration strikes in the shower! After all, we do come up with our best ideas for articles while bathing, and we’d hate to lose them!


2. "The Associated Press Stylebook 2017" to use when editing our own articles


Even though this would be more of a gift for our editors than it would be for us...


3. More views on our articles



Especially from potential employers who want to hire us to write for them!


4. A premium subscription for “Grammarly” (or another grammar-checking tool)

Because many of us still forgot, where to put those commas or which verb tense to use from time to time...


5. The cure for “Writer’s Block”

Just as long as it's not in the form of a vaccine! (NOPE NOPE NOPE)


6. For our family and friends to actually read our articles


I’m calling out the loved ones who "like" our articles on social media without actually reading them.

YES, we know who you are and YES, sometimes we can tell...


7. More time to write!

This year, consider giving the gift of EXTRA TIME.


What else would you give as a gift to the writer in your life this holiday season? Tweet me your ideas @missjulia1207!

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

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.

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.
