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.

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
