Dear Rowan, As I Graduate College
Alyssa Paluch

Dear Rowan,

I want you to know this: I had the best years of my life here. I'm not saying that I didn't have any tough times. I most definitely did, but I had the most fun here. For that, thank you.

As I graduate college, know that you have not seen the last of me. You're lucky enough to have me again for another two years as I become a Master in Education. You get to take more of my money, and I get to make more memories.

I am really scared for the real world, so that's actually why I wanted to start another school journey here in Glassboro. This place has taught me many things, and I feel the most comfortable at Rowan. It's a great place to be.

Every college has its flaws. The past four years was very stressful, to say the least. I'm sure these flaws will improve or get better. I hope some of the flaws are completely eliminated by the time I'm long gone.

I've made many friends and done many things. I was a part of student activities on campus; I worked and volunteered with them. I've lived in four places and lived with people new and old. I was happy, sad, frustrated, stressed, angry... and now that it's over, I can't help but feel proud.

I've got to say, you put me through hell, but as always, I could somehow handle it and get through it. With the support from my family and friends, it was actually a piece of cake, even though in those moments it felt like the end.

So, Rowan, as I graduate college, I want you to know that much it meant to me. You were my first-choice school for a reason. Although it was bumpy at times, and I mean super bumpy, I can't thank you enough for helping me achieve my goals and dreams.

I can't wait to say that I am a college graduate.

Thank you so much for the best four years of my 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.

I am going to a rhyme without reason date function and I have looked at so many different rhyming words and I figured there need to be a new list of words. At these functions, there are usually at least two rockers and boxers and an umpteenth amount of dogs and frogs. I have come up with a list of creative and unique ideas for these functions.

If you like what you see, get a shopping cart going with these costumes.

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.
