Struggles Of Being An Odyssey Writer

Well, this is ironic.

Struggles Of Being An Odyssey Writer
Buzzfeed

If you're reading this and can relate, then I totally get what you through every Sunday around 5 p.m. The struggle is real for us Odyssey writers.

Why you may ask: because people hate us for blowing up their social media and finding things to talk about once a week is a lot harder than you would think.

1. Finding a Topic

Finding a topic literally haunts you in your sleep, and in class, and when you're hungry.

2. No Shares

Checking to see if your article is popular at all and getting let down when you only have seven shares.

3. Begging for Shares

Having to share your articles on every social media platform to get shares, and people hate you for posting and reposting so many articles and you get "that look."

4. Editing Wrong

The program always messes up what you have written. The picture won't stay center and you can't figure out why things are getting moved around.

5. Having to Source a Picture

Hating (with a burning passion) to go through every giphy or picture and title it and then source it.

6.Typing Too Fast

When you type faster than the processor and it takes forever to catch up and you are beyond annoyed.

7. Others Sharing Your Article


At the end of the week, you start getting desparate for shares and views, so you have to ask your friends and family to "like" your page and share it.

8. Never Knowing What to Write About

Waiting until the last minute to write an article because you can't think of one.

9. When Publishing Is Delayed

.

When your article takes more than a day to publish and you fear it won't get a lot of shares.

10. The $20 Seems Like $100.

When you finally finish writing your article for the week and you hope to get the most shares to win the $20 that week. It doesn't sound like a lot, but it feels like you hit the lotto when your article gets the most attention.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
