Changing my major was one of the best decisions I've made. It has opened up so many doors, including writing for Odyssey! Not only is communication a key to life, but as a communications major, you are also representing Journalism, PR, Advertising, and Social Media Marketing. Take pride that you are a part of the Communications community.

1. You get excited for writing assignments.

Five more papers? No problem! You can fly through them in two days.

2. You NEVER stress about deadlines.

Your time management skills are so on-point that you never have to worry about deadlines. Thank your professors for piling mounds of work on you.

3. You're always on social media.

You'll find me on Instagram all the time, but don't worry, I have an account on every platform you can think of. Oh, and don't forget about the News App.

4. You can't use the excuse "I didn't check my phone".

We are ALWAYS on our phones. Everyone knows it, too. Unfortunately, you have to come up with a better excuse as to why you're nonchalantly avoiding someone. If you didn't see their text on your phone, you sure did on your laptop.

5. You always do better on short answer questions. 

If there are short answers on an exam, you bet we are doing them before the multiple choice. Multiple choice questions trick us too easily. There is never one correct answer in our minds.

6. Group projects? 

Group projects are never an issue for you. Communicating is your forte, but your nervous instincts always tell you to be the team leader.

7. The most annoying thing someone can ask is, "So, what can you do with a Communications degree?"

Hmmm. ANYTHING!

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.
