My Favorite 3 Articles I've Written For Odyssey During My Time As A Creator, Ranked

It's been 7 months since I began writing for Odyssey as a part of the UCF Community. It was a fun ride, but due to my increasing workload and extracurriculars, it's best for me to bid adieu. However, I want to recount on the topics I talked about and rank my own work. From racial issues to pop music, I think I cast a good spectrum of topics I covered while writing for Odyssey.

3. "The 4 Types Of People, From Stalkers To SJW'S, You'll Find On Twitter"

For those who don't know, or couldn't tell, Twitter is one of my favorite social media sites (follow me here). So I decided, why not write about one of my favorite social media sites? It took me a while to figure out just how to write about Twitter. It wasn't until I saw a tweet talking about the 'cults' of different states. It hit me, there are different communities on Twitter that operate very differently. 'Stan Twitter' for example are harsh and can be some of the meanest people on the internet. While 'Black Twitter' is one of the funniest and light-hearted communities on Twitter. If you wanna go more in-depth on the 'cults of Twitter' I suggest you give this article a read here.

2. "College Life As Told By The Queen Of Daytime TV, Wendy Williams"

Wendy Williams is one of the most outlandish and ridiculous daytime talk show hosts on the air. She has become an internet meme with many photos of her funny faces and poses being used to describe people's moods, funny stories, and jokes. Personally speaking, I use Wendy Williams photos in my texts and tweets to bring more comedic value to them. So, when coming up with an idea for an article, I decided why not make Wendy Williams the center of it. Not to toot my own horn, but this was one of my funniest articles I put out on the Odyssey and I'm very proud of it.

1. "6 Ignorant Things I've Heard As A 'Racially Ambiguous' Biracial Person"

This was only the third article I wrote for Odyssey, and it was such a personal one! I don't remember how I came up with the idea for this article, but I'm glad the idea popped in my head. I think it helped people understand that although questions are necessary to get to know someone, the wording of the question is what's toxic. This article sparked a conversation between me and people who knew me but didn't know me personally. I got a lot of (not ignorant) questions, that I loved answering. Although it became a rant piece at the end, I'm very proud of what this article became and for the conversation it started with my friends and family.

My time here at Odyssey was a fun one. I loved having my own voice and writing about topics that I wanted to write about. I grew as not only a writer but a person. It really helped me think and voice my opinions more scholarly and I actually read some really well-written articles from my team!

So to end, I would like to thank Larissa, Megan, and the entire Odyssey UCF team for giving me the opportunity to write and have my voice heard and for their endless support.

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.

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.

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.
