Welcome from the University of Findlay
Alvin Trusty

Come one, come all to the brand new branch of The Odyssey at the University of Findlay. May I be one of the first to welcome you to our little slice of life! My name is Kelsey Nevius, and I am a junior English and Journalism double major here at our quaint University. I've been writing professionally for about two years, and I can't imagine doing anything else. I'm fairly involved on campus as well: I write for our campus newspaper and contribute/edit our literary magazine. I absolutely love what I do: the words on the page, the diverse people involved in the field, and the writing community are all very special things to me.

I'm very excited to begin writing for The Odyssey, and hope that I can both learn from other writers and contribute to this community in any way that I can. I'm extremely hard working, probably more than I should be, and I can't wait to see what challenges will unfold as we further develop our community within The Odyssey. The University of Findlay is a wonderful college, and I hope everyone else can take part in our world and love it as much as we do!

Throughout my time here, I'd love to bring together ideas and opinions from all walks of life. We're all different in some aspect, but I'm hoping our little society can help bring it all together to make sense of our crazy world. Diversity, disagreement, and conversation are the spice of life: I love to hear different opinions and viewpoints on anything and everything, and to figure out how to live life to the fullest. I've learned a lot by writing so far, and I'm sure there's plenty more to come. Come along for the ride: it's going to be good!

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:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

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.
