Why Writing For Odyssey Is Great

Writing for Odyssey is something that I have enjoyed immensely since I became a content creator at the beginning of the school year. Now as a community recruiter I have the amazing job of showing people just how amazing Odyssey is. So I decided to put together a list of all the reasons why I love writing for Odyssey.

1. Get published.

I still do a little happy dance every time I see my articles get published. It's kind of an amazing thing to see my family and friends sharing something I worked really hard on. It really is an amazing feeling knowing that someone, somewhere liked what you wrote enough to share it with their friends.

2. Freedom of expression.

One of the most amazing things about Odyssey is that you have the freedom to write whatever you want. Do you want to write about Harry Potter? Write about Harry Potter. You want to write about your favorite book or TV show? Write about your favorite book or TV show. As a content creator for Odyssey you have the freedom to write anything you want, it's an amazing thing.

3. Meet amazing people.

Odyssey has given me the most amazing team to work with. Amazing staff members, an amazing editor in chief, and an amazing managing editor. Now as a community recruiter I have a team of amazing community recruiters to help grow our amazing Odyssey staff so we can meet even more amazing people from all over the country, and the world too.

4. Developed writing skills.

I will be the first to admit that I am not the best writer in the world, but since I started writing for Odyssey my writing skills have greatly improved. These are skills I know I will always need for my future career and what better way to learn them than by doing something I enjoy.

5. Great networking.

Networking is a key part of a professional career. Odyssey has given me an amazing opportunity to network and grow a relationship with people I might have otherwise not known if not for Odyssey.

Odyssey has given me an amazing opportunity to grow not only as a writer but as a person. It's an amazing thing to be a part of, and I absolutely love it. I have the ability to get my voice out to the world, and be heard on one of the fastest growing media empires in the nation, which is pretty incredible.

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.
