I LOVE The Odyssey

The Last Supper

And by that I mean the last Odyssey article before I uproot and take off for Thailand and some world traveling for two and a half months.

I started writing for Odyssey almost a year ago; at first I was spending hours a week doing research, teaching myself things to fill my articles with, and educate people on veganism and how to make some good food. Then school started and I spent a little less time, but I kept up the theme. Getting further into my senior year, I started producing some artistic submission, showing my more poetic and personal side. Here and there I would throw together a listicle, talking about the best shows on Netflix or how to relieve stress during finals week, or my most popular "Reasons You Know You’re form Southbury."

Now it’s summer.

By the time you’ve read this, I’ll have graduated from Western CT State University and started packing. Ready for the next part of life.

Odyssey has been multiple chapters of my life, and an outlet for me and I didn’t even know it. It’s been a workspace that I can show to future employers, or to just remind myself what my life was like the week of a certain article.

I’ve met numerous lovely people, learned a new site, and even recruited a handful of writers to our team(s). It has been an adventure, and a lesson. Keeping up with deadlines and working on communication, I have been diligent and honest, looking for just a few sets of eyes to dissect my submissions.

Odyssey found me, and I hope it finds you too, because it’ll make you grow on a professional and personal level and let you EXPRESS YOURSELF at NO COST. Let the world see you, and want to CLICK on some food for thought, all rooted in the power and minds of Millennials!!

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.
