I LOVE The Odyssey
Jessica Carpenter

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!!

Parks and Recreation excitedly gathered around a laptop at a table in an office setting.

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

Students walking on a sunny college campus with trees and buildings.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.
