Events Editor Isabel Sepúlveda didn’t think it was possible she could ever relate to Odysseus, who takes a spot in her top 5 least favorite Lit Hum characters. After a disastrous bus trip back from break, she at very least understands him a lot better now.  Tell me, Muse, of the trip of many ways, and […]
