In my younger years of college, I often found frustration when it came to social media. I would always find articles circulating through Facebook, Twitter, or even Pinterest and think how liberating it would be to write so freely about topics that were currently discussed. I often contemplated creating a blog, but I wanted to be apart of something bigger than that. I didn't just want to write for me and about me, but for others and about others as well.

It wasn't until my sophomore year of college where I was given the opportunity to become a part of an involved community dedicated to contributing to the discussions and debates among millennials, and that is with Odyssey.

I still remember the day that I received the text from my current editor, Jessica, months ago. I was so ecstatic to have the opportunity to express my opinions and views while becoming a part of a team and representing my school.Since joining Odyssey I have not only been able to express my voice but become apart of something much bigger, which is a team. I am so proud of my editors and team of fellow writers and all the work they put into their articles. Everyone is so supportive with one another and give nothing but positive energy when it comes to writing. We are able to take our passion and influence those around us. By doing this we are not only able to write for ourselves, but others as well. It is because of this that I strongly urge fellow students, regardless of class, to make the same decision I did and become something bigger and join Odyssey, where you not only become apart of a team but gain a family as well.
