To My Readers, I Say Thank You

First and for most, I just want to say thank you for giving me an outlet. It is so encouraging for me to get on my computer and type away every week. I look forward to all of my articles going live so that all of you amazing people can take a little peek into my life.

I started writing for the Odyssey about four months ago, and it has been one of the best decisions for me. Writing is such a large part of my major. With the Odyssey, I am able to practice my writing skills and share so much of what is important to me.

Even in my short time of writing with the Odyssey, I have loved it from day one. I have wanted to start blogging for quite some time, but I could never figure out the way to start. Should I start a website? Is that too complicated? Will anybody even care what I have to say? There were so many factors that I just didn't feel like working through, so I just kept pushing it off.

I found out about the Odyssey, one of those questions was answered. I now had a way to share my stories/feelings in an easy way. I jumped on the opportunity to start blogging, and soon my next question was answered...you guys definitely care about what I have to say.

Since I have begun my Odyssey journey, many people have share encouraging words with me about how much they enjoy all of my pieces. Whether you guys find my articles inspiring, funny, or just a good read, you do not hesitate to share it, and I love that.

I do enjoy getting feedback from everyone on your feelings towards my articles. It gives me confidence in my writing, and it feels good knowing I made a little bit of someone's day.

I recently accepted the position of being Editor-in-Chief for the K-State chapter of the Odyssey, and I owe my success to you guys. Reading everyone's feedback, and just seeing the number of likes that my articles get, gives me more confidence to continue to write, and encourage others to begin writing.

Without all of my readers, I would not be creating and sharing all the things that I love. I ask that you keep on reading and keep on sharing. It keeps me going, guys. Thank you for keeping me going.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

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.
