Towson University offers endless opportunities for campus involvement, with a great Honors College, a thriving Greek community, award-winning athletics and performing arts, SGA and a club or group for every interest.

Now, we're taking it one step further! We've created a campus team with The Odyssey, giving Tigers the opportunity to be creative, get involved and publish ideas about college, sports, news, lifestyle and everything in between.

As the new editor in chief, I am so excited and thankful for the opportunity to work with talented Towson students who are just as dedicated to launching The Odyssey as I am. Editor in chief is a hectic job, and launching our team in one week hasn't been easy, but it has been rewarding. Even with such short time frame, the Towson Odyssey team has pulled it off, but here's how the week went from the Editor in Chief perspective.

Monday
Getting to work with other writers who are passionate about writing and our school? Yes, please. I am excited, motivated,and maybe a little too confident. This should be easy, and I CAN DO ANYTHING.

Tuesday
It's all starting to sink in. Recruit a team of writers? Hire and interview? Edit the first set of articles and digitally publish them in one week? I'm overwhelmed just thinking about it.

Wednesday
Time to stop talking about doing this, and actually start doing it. Applications are rolling in with hilarious, smart and insightful writing samples, and we're actually getting started!

Thursday
If you're the editor in chief, people will most likely ask you questions, and sometimes, you just won't know the answer. Starting The Odyssey at Towson has been a learning process for all of us, but I'm still a little (or more) confused. Why did I ever think I knew everything?

Friday
In just four short days, things are coming together! We have a fantastic team of writers, a great contributing editor and an amazing multimedia director and social media director. These people are the best. These people are the BEST.

Editing. All the editing. My eyes hurt from looking at the computer. My fingers are numb from typing. T-minus one day until publishing, and we couldn't be more excited.

Sunday
The first week of any job can be rough, but the writers at Towson have put together their own hilarious, smart and original articles in just a week. I am incredibly thankful to be working with such great people, and I am so proud of how much we've accomplished in seven days.

This is only the beginning, and I can't wait to see what we can accomplish over the next year!
