Do you know that feeling, the one you get when you are so worked up and filled with emotions you can't speak and you begin to feel the tears fill in your eyes, yeah so do I. Most of the time, I kept those feelings bottled up, right under the surface, sometimes this would cause me to completely explode every once and a while and I hated it.
One day not so long ago I read an article, an Odyssey article, the context of the article doesn't really matter but it got me thinking, then it got me writing, after I started writing I felt different, lighter even. Being able to express myself through words was the first time I was able to understand and see in front of me how I truly felt, and having it on the internet for all the people on the internet to read I felt free. It was so different than journaling the feedback I got from others who felt the same way, which is something I would have never know if I wasn't sharing my worlds with the world.
If you wanna finally be free (who wouldn't) it's time for you to write your very own article for the Odyssey. Go to the website and submit an application right now (especially if you are a St. Francis College student). You will be a part of a community of writers who understand you and respect you for your opinions, (plus it looks great on a real-life resume) so it's time to start writing and to stop pushing down all your feelings.
Come on and join our team!
