Hey you! Yeah, you reading this article. If you are scrolling past your social media feed and decided to click on this site, you are probably wondering why you should post on Odyssey. I know you are interested, I can feel it. You have either thought about it before or just now thinking about it because why else are you reading this?

Let me tell you first hand at how amazing Odyssey is and why you and everyone you know should join an Odyssey community.

1. You can write about anything

Whether you are into sports, pop culture or just want to write about what is going on in your life, good news, YOU CAN! Honestly, one of the biggest reasons I wanted to join Odyssey is because you have the freedom to get your voice heard and talk about whatever you want, and I truly mean whatever. One week you can write about how Kim Kardashian's workout is amazing to get the perfect summer bod, to how the Red Sox's kicked the Yankees butt to even talking about your college. Literally, the options are endless.

2. Looks great on a resume

If you need a booster for your resume saying you are a writer, editor or have leadership experience, a site such as Odyssey is amazing! People from everywhere around the world can read your articles. If you want to be a writer later in life, this is a fantastic place to start! You are already writing and getting out there, so might as well put this on your resume. Having said that...

3. Experience writing

Let me tell you when you write papers in college, they can be super boring and really don't feel like they help your writing when you are constantly getting told you are wrong. When you post on Odyssey, you submit one article each week, so that is writing experience every... single... week. You also have amazing editors to help critique your writing and let you know how you can improve. You are getting experience on how to write, what type of writer you are and how to become a better writer. To me, that is a win-win-win scenario.

4. The community

By community, I mean family. Who you meet while part of Odyssey is absolutely mind-boggling. While writing in college, I have met people from all different backgrounds, majors, experiences and have really felt a bond between everyone because we all have one thing in common: Odyssey. Everyone encourages each other to write a banging article and give each other ideas on what to write. They have your back and will be there for you always.

5. You will love Odyssey

Since joining Odyssey, I have absolutely fallen in love with it. Sometimes I can feel stressed and not feel like writing an article but then I think about how much fun it is. There are days where you may not have any ideas, motivation or time. But the Odyssey family will understand and will help you and work with you. You will not regret joining your local Odyssey community ever and I highly encourage you to do so.

So, if you read this article, you are thinking about joining an Odyssey community and all I can say is DO IT! You will fall in love with Odyssey, the community and writing. I highly encourage you to write. Don't be afraid to try something new, go ahead and WRITE!

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.
