An Intro To My Life
Ashleigh Gill

Hello! My name is Ashleigh Gill and I am a freshman in my second semester at The University of Oklahoma. I'm from a small town called Elk City, OK. Go Elks!

OU has always been the college that I wanted to go to because the campus is beautiful and old, and now that I'm here, I couldn't be more grateful. When I got to the university, I was majoring in meteorology because when I was growing up, I loved learning about how the weather works- it just fascinated me. Sadly, I am not good at math, so I changed my major to Creative Media Production. I love creating videos that my friends enjoy, but what got me started was my family. I would always make little home movies for them and I loved seeing the smiles grow on their faces. Looking back, they weren't very good, but we all have to start somewhere, right? After I graduate, I will hopefully have a job in the media industry, pursuing what I love. I am only getting started with my CMP journey, but I am ready to see what the future holds.

When I become more experienced, I would love to start a Youtube channel. Production, filming, and photography have always been an interest of mine, and it provides a creative outlet for anyone and everyone who enjoys media. In my free time, I spend time with my friends that I met at OU, reading, or watching my favorite shows online. Everyone that I have met in the community around me is so welcoming and kind. I love writing, so I am very excited about the chance to write for the Odyssey. I look forward to sharing my writing with you each week!

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
