7 Things To Keep In Mind If You’re Taking An 8 A.M.

scontent-iad3-1.cdninstagram.com

If you're anything like me, or any typical college student, you absolutely despise having to take an 8AM class. We spend countless hours analyzing our schedule trying to avoid having to set our alarm for anytime earlier than 9AM. But sometimes, we have to suck it up and take a dreaded 8AM and sacrifice our beauty sleep for our degree. You'll get through it, just keep these tips in mind:

1. For the sake of the people, please, don't be loud. We're all tired.

2. Be a friend, stop for Starbucks. And grab me a tall dark roast please and thank you.

3. It's okay to be late... just don't do it every day. Don't be that guy.

4. I know what you're thinking. You're walking into class with the question, "why did I take this, why did I take this" but let's think about the positives: we've already started our day. Let's make it a productive one.

5. Try not to lose your mind when the professor yells at the class after waiting too long for someone to answer the question.

6. It is socially acceptable to look like you just got dragged out of a dumpster at an 8AM class.

7. Lastly, if you're not emotionally prepared for an 8AM, don't take an 8AM. Trust me.

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.

8tracks radio

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.

Summer is hot and humid, and it's almost like summer was made specifically to drink the refreshing, cold, crisp wonderful, delicious, nutritious nectar of the gods.
