I Should Probably Write My Odyssey Article
www.stthomas.edu

Sometimes the ideas for articles flow easy and it's not hard to get an article in each week. Even multiple articles. Sometimes there's hardly enough time to write. Or I'll pulling blanks on what to write.

This is typically my thought process is each week as the Editor-In-Chief (EIC) of the Odyssey at UNI.

It's Sunday.

OK, everyone's articles should be edited and in.

Op. There's a straggler. Glad I checked.

Maybe I should add something to mine.

I didn't like that sentence anyway.

OK. Everything looks good. Everything is in. Everything is edited on my end.

LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

It's Monday.

AHHHHHH the article has dropped!

Oh it's early.... (alternatively: Where it at? It's late!)

How many shares will it get?

Maybe I should've shared it on Twitter this week?

I'll share it on Twitter right now.

It's Tuesday.

*Checks article* Awesome, people have seen it.

*Checks scheduled share on Facebook* Aww, how sweet, I'm so happy they like it. What a nice comment.

It's Wednesday.

What am I going to write my Odyssey article on this week???

*Brief moment of distraction*

How many article shares am I at for this week?

Ooooooooh I'm in the running for that weekly incentive YASSSSSSSS.

It's Thursday.

Wow I really need to figure out what I'm writing.

Oh, hey, that's a good idea.

Maybe I should use it next week?

Maybe I could drop two articles this week.

No, wait, one of them always gets overshadowed.

Maybe I could just write a bunch of stories now and be ahead of the game?

It's Friday.

Oh shoot. I should write my Odyssey article for the week.

Wow. Wait, what did I even do this week?

It's Saturday.

BRING EM OUT WHAT ARTICLES DO WE GOT THIS WEEEEEEEEEK? Bring them to me!

Oh mY GOSH. When did everyone submit their articles, there were like two in here last night??

What's going to be something good for background noise, I can't work without background noise?

UGH, OXFORD COMMA here, here, and HERE.


Why is that period OUTSIDE the quotation mark??

This sentence, what is this sentence?

OK, and that's a wrap. What a good little collection of articles we have this week!

And we're back at it again the following week.

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.

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.

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.
