Worth a Read: The Odyssey

How many articles a day do you see posted when you are scrolling down your news feed? The response is most likely going to be "a good amount". Well the basic reason for that is people love to post and share what they believe in or what they relate to. Whether its a political article about the upcoming election or 10 reasons to travel in your 20's, there's anything and everything that can be posted to the Internet. News outlets, Buzzfeed and everything in between can be found taking up real estate on Facebook users news feeds.

One particular forum that I have gotten hooked on recently is The Odyssey. The Odyssey is a platform essentially that allows millennials to submit and talk about their views and experiences. The interesting part about it is that it contains topics all across the board. And I mean everything from politics to friends to family to news to celebrities and anything else that could pop in your head. Its unique and it its own right as a huge outlet for millennials and generation z to write in. I love the idea of it because it is a great way to hear from so many different perspectives and so many people with different things to say. A majority of articles I have seen recently have all come from the site. Every read you find, which is my favorite part of Odyssey, is that you hear a lot of level - headed perspectives. Anyone can go online, write their one sided opinion and publish something. A lot of the content of Odyssey is absolutely relatable to the reader, and offers a ton of insight into different topics that are incredibly relevant to readers.

If you have a free moment, don't want to study for your 8 am exam, or are just overdue for an wicked good read, this is where you should go. I'm not a write for Odyssey but after reading a lot of the content and reading a bunch of the articles within it, it would be pretty sweet to become one.

So you catch my drift here are a couple articles I found that quote on quote "hit the nail on the head" for what they are talking about. These are a handful of many I have found and they are worth a read! And yes the 14 Signs You Are A Senior In College scares me how applicable it is, currently still in denial but it's totally fine.
