12 Signs Of Senioritis
saraheleanorbo.tumblr.com

Senioritis is a decline of motivation or performance by students during their final year. This is my second case of senioritis. In high school, toward the spring, I took a countless number of "mental health days" as I liked to call them. I found myself sleeping in later, binging Netflix and just doing whatever I wanted. However, every senior should not feel too ashamed of this kind of laziness. I mean, you did work four years of your life to get to this moment. So enjoy every moment of your last days as a student. If you have been experiencing the following symptoms, you may be suffering from a case of senioritis. The good news is that there is a cure. The day you receive that diploma that costs you 30 years of paying off loans, you'll be in the real world paving your way with your career.


1. You don't even buy the books for a single class in the semester.

At this point it's a waste of money and you solely rely on the Powerpoints from class.


2. You go out ... a lot.

You can't get away with drinking on Mondays, Tuesdays or Wednesdays after you graduate, so you take full advantage that no one will call you an alcoholic for drinking that much during the week.


3. Skipping class is a weekly routine.

You skip at least three times per class and don't even bother with e-mailing the professor with some excuse.

4. You stop caring about your appearance.

Bare-faced and an outfit that screams "hobo chic." Sweatpants and leggings are worn even though its warm spring weather.


5. When you are given an assignment, you procrastinate.

Writing a two-page paper now takes six hours rather than two. Even if you can bring yourself to sit in the library, you still find a way to distract yourself.


6. More concerned about "Senior Week" events then graduation itself.

Your main concern is what you are going to wear to the last day drink, picnic, dance, etc.


7. Finals are a joke.

Nothing can save you at this point, so your strategy is to just to wing it.


8. You may have even thrown out your backpack.

No need for it, you can take mental notes.


9. Bye budgeting.

It's the last couple of weeks where your parents pay for all your bills so yes to guacamole at Chipotle.


10.You say "I really don't care" more often.

It's the truth.


11. You start to get emotional.

Thinking about not living with your best friends, seeing the same people every day and having few responsibilities makes you a trainwreck.


12. Tendency to take more photos.

Your days are numbered, so you document every moment. Pictures act as souvenirs and reminders of the most happiest of times.

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.

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.
