Things I Hate About The College Campus Bubble

It's a love-hate relationship.

As I was touring colleges my junior year of high school, I remember walking around thinking to myself Wow, this is beautiful. I was totally set on having a traditional college experience, with a big green campus and football and basketball games. Fast-forward 3 years later...I'm sitting here in my dorm with no car, feeling completely stranded--something I never thought about as a high school junior when I was admiring the greenery on my campus tour. The beauty of campus hasn't changed, but the practicality of it certainly has. Don't get me wrong--I love my campus. But I just can't seem to forget about the many inconveniences like:

1.  Being at school 100% of the time

You don't get to go to school and then go home. Living in a dorm means you're at school 100% of the time.

2. You don’t even know what's happening on the news

Because you probably don't have a t.v. in your room and even if you did there's no time to watch it

3. You have to wear flip-flops in the shower

4. If you live on a traditional campus without a car, getting anywhere is an ordeal

Be ready to spend $25 on an uber to the mall...and $25 back

5. Need some shampoo? Be sure to carve at least an hour out of your schedule.

First you have to walk to the edge of campus where an uber can pick you up, then wait for the uber, get what you need from the store, wait for the uber again, and walk back to the center of campus

6. Forget going out to grab some food or to see a show

No one does that on a green college campus...frat parties are just about your only option

7. Just picked up some groceries?

Good luck dragging them all the way across campus

8.  Somehow you always get out of the shower right when there’s a group of people congregating in the hallway

9. Ordering food?

You might as well just walk to the restaurant because you're going to have to walk to the edge of campus anyway to pick it up because the delivery person can't drive onto the campus greenery

10. We all may have a lot of complaints about traditional college life, but....

the camaraderie of a green college campus seems to outweigh all of the cons

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.
