Welcome To DBU Odyssey!
Bonnie Lanicek

Hello, DBU students, alumni, faculty and friends! Welcome to Odyssey, where students are given a voice and are able to write freely on topics that important or pressing to them. I was part of the launching team from Dallas Baptist University in April 2016, and as of July 2016 have transitioned to Editor-in-Chief. I have been changed wholeheartedly by this experience – and this journey is just beginning!

To give a brief background of Odyssey, the movement was started in June 2014 when students found that the media was not featuring the ideas and innovations of young people in the 18-26 age group. It was founded on the principles of democratizing content while creating deeper, more meaningful conversations among every nation. Growing to 50,000 pieces of content per month, Odyssey gives every reader a piece to satisfy their craving for great writing. Everything is considered on the platform, from politics and women’s rights, to the best hangout spots on campus. Odyssey writers are called “content creators." A creator is in charge of submitting a piece on any topic and of any length once a week. This gives the creator time to work, study, volunteer and spend their time enjoying their college experience.

DBU’s close-knit team is looking for a few good men (and women) to join forces with us in showing the world truth logically and lovingly. Our team shows the world wit, honesty, and slight satire. We are individuals who each bring a unique story to the platform from an original perspective. Even so, we are a humble embodiment of the Lord’s work and hope we show His handiwork through every action we commit. We pray that we are able to grow so we can advance the Lord’s Kingdom with the skills of communication, writing, and research that He has given us.

Students, when you join our team, you will be an integral part of a multi-award-winning social media platform that allows you to express your mind, while immersing yourself in an active, supportive community. You will be a plus-one in delivering truth and wholesome content. You will be part of a groundbreaking movement.

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:

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.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
