10 Things You Know If You Are Almost Done With The School Year

1. The Work Load

For some unknown reason, every professor waits to do three chapters, give two tests not including the final, and four papers. But it's okay, it's not like we have any other classes...

2. The Lack of Ambition

Well, seems like that paper is not getting done, nor is that project due to the amount of available time, but I will make time for this nap I so desperately need.

3. Your Stress Level Seems To Surpass Your Limits

With all the meetings, classwork, and athletics, on a scale of one to ten, the stress level is a flat one hundred. The only thing keeping you from going insane is when you get to treat yourself to that twenty minute shower.

4. Every Night Is Basically An All-Nighter

You end up reading the same sentence three times, but still think it's a smart idea to keep doing the work that will have to be redone anyways.

5. Midnight Wawa Trips Are the Only Thing Keeping You Going


Always thankful for Natalie for taking me to get a bagel and slushy just so I can make it through the night. But, for real, without Wawa, most of us would crash and burn in college.

6. That Day Your Body Finally Crashes

You're going strong, and you're on about day four, maybe day five, who really knows? But then, you get this burst of energy for about twenty minutes, then all of a sudden, you can't keep your eyes open or lift a finger. Yeah, your body has reached its breaking point.

7. Finals Week Is So Bittersweet

Because thanks to your wonderful professors, you have a math final, history final and English final all in the same day. I see what you are trying to do, professors. You're trying to drive me crazy. Well, let me tell you... it's working.

8. You Can't Wait To Go Home

You get to go home, sleep in your bigger bed, see all your old friends you kept in contact with, see their families that you are basically a part of and you get to see your family. You get to go back to the place where you grew your roots and remember all the good things there are about it.

9. But You Don't Want to Leave

You have finally adjusted to your surroundings you now call home, made so many friends you are used to seeing every day, and you have all the memories in your first dorm room. This is your new life, your freedom, and better yet, your place. Nothing will ever compare to living on your own for the first time ever.

10. You Don't Know How To Survive Without Your Friends

I have no clue how I'm going to make it a couple of months without seeing all of my people every day. But that is what trips are for, I guess...

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.

We all scroll through the radio stations in the car every once in a while, whether its because we lost signal to our favorite one or we are just bored with the same ol' songs every day. You know when you're going through and you hear a song where you're just like "I forgot this existed!" and before you know it, you're singing every word? Yeah, me too. Like, 95% of the time. If you're like me and LOVE some good throwback music, here's a list of songs from every genre that have gotten lost in time, but never truly forgotten.
