Why I Write For Odyssey

Why I enjoy being a writer for the Regis College Odyssey.

Ever since I made my Facebook account, I have seen articles for Odyssey almost daily. I always loved reading the articles and seeing the creativity of all of the writers. I was always curious as to how one joins Odyssey. I was lucky this year at school because one of my friends encouraged me to join because she needed more people on the Regis College Odyssey. At first, I was a little wary, but I decided to give it a try and see what happens.

I enjoy Odyssey because I can write about anything. The Odyssey is a place where I can let my voice be heard and write anything that I want. It gives me the ability to express myself and share my opinions about things. One of Odyssey's main goals o is to allow people's voices to be heard. This gives me a voice that I wouldn't necessarily have without Odyssey.

Odyssey makes me more responsible as a person. Articles are due every Saturday at noon. This helps me plan out my week accordingly because I know that I must make a specific time each week to write my articles. I am kept busy because I constantly have to think about new ideas for my articles each week. Not only does it help me plan specifically for the time when I will write my next article but it also helps me plan out my week so I can have time to do my other homework as well.

The Odyssey helps me improve my writing skills. When I write articles they go through an editing process. Each time one of my articles is edited, I learn from my prior mistakes so that I will not make them again. I think that writing articles is fun. Writing my articles each week is something that I look forward to because they are really fun to create. I really like brainstorming ideas as well. I also enjoy hearing what my friends, family, and strangers have to say about my writing. Improving my writing each week is another reason why I really enjoy writing for Odyssey.

Odyssey is something that is time-consuming but I highly recommend it to others who also have a passion for writing.

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.

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.
