10 Moments Every College Freshman Can Relate To
www.collegetimes.com

Well you guys, we made it! After a whole summer of anticipating what college is going to be like, we are finally on campus and experiencing all that higher education has to offer. Maybe college isn't going quite as you expected, or maybe it is everything you hoped for and more. Either way, there are several moments we all go through as freshman. So let's all take a second to be thankful that we are all going through this new, fun, and somewhat stressful experience together.

1. Getting lost on the first day of class and being to scared to ask for directions.

You may or may not have sat in the wrong lecture class for 20 minutes before realizing it.

2. Trying to make new friends.

The amount of icebreakers you had to do your first week of classes was unreal.

3. Relaxing for a few weeks, having a great time, then suddenly, you have a million assignments all do at once.

"It's fine. I'm fine. Everything is fine."

4. Going out and forgetting you had an assignment due at midnight.

*Tries not to cry in public.*

5. Being personally victimized by your first college exam.

Whether you studied for five hours or didn't study at all, nothing can truly prepare you for the emotional instability that comes with college exams.

6. Realizing the "Freshman 15" is very real and is currently happening to you.

"I don't understand where all this weight is coming from!" *Eats a whole pizza alone.*

7. Spending an unhealthy amount of time on Netflix.

You probably thought you were never going to have any free time in college. Little did you know, Netflix would slowly take over your life.

8. Finally understanding what it's like to be that "broke college student".

It's never a good day to check your bank account and see you have a negative balance, but it's a sad reality as a college student.

9. Going home and eating a home cooked meal for the first time.

You really didn't understand how good you had it at home until you had to eat all your meals in a dining hall.

10. Surviving your freshman year in one piece, and being ready for whatever college throws your way in the coming years.

After all, these are the best 4 years of your life.

1. It's easy to be fooled by shiny things.

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.

Epic Creation Myths: Norse Origins Unveiled

What happened in the beginning, and how the heavens were set in motion.

The Norse Creation Myth

Now, I have the everlasting joy of explaining the Norse creation myth. To be honest, it can be a bit kooky, so talking about it is always fun. The entire cosmos is included in this creation myth, not just the earth but the sun and the moon as well. This will be a short retelling, a summary of the creation myth, somewhat like I did with Hermod's ride to Hel.
