I write for the Odyssey for a reason. And that reason is because I love to write. I am majoring in English with a concentration in creative writing. I have enjoyed my creative writing classes so very much. I wrote non-fiction stories, fiction stories, and I even wrote a one act play for my three writing classes. However, I have realized that I have no patience to write a 300 page fiction book. I would probably write a children's book (which I really want to). There are other forms of writing that have interested me more and that I actually prefer. And that is journalism and research papers.

I know you're probably saying, "Okay, I can understand journalism, but you like writing research papers? Like what?" Yes, I find it fascinating picking a topic and researching it and writing a big paper on said topic. However, journalism is my favorite form of writing. it's quick, to the point, and very informational. My love for journalism started my senior year of high school when I took a journalism class that automatically made me a staff writer for the school newspaper. I mainly wrote entertainment articles, movies, TV shows, and music.

I brought my love for that all the way to college where I started writing news articles along with entertainment articles. I love information that I get from the news because I know what is happening out in the world. Additionally, I love informing people on current events, and what is happening on campus. With the Odyssey, I write news articles here and there, but with this unique platform, you can write about anything you want.

This is why I love to write.
