You thought angst was over once you moved on from the eighth grade? LOL, good one. It's 2 a.m., the librarians are flickering the lights and staring into your soul until you leave. You're just trying to be studious and end the semester on a good note by passing your finals, but now you're all pissed off, on top of all the stress finals already induce. Here's a playlist you can listen to when it seems like no one understands your struggles and you're beginning to lose hope. So sit back, relax, and get in the mood to punch a wall, because whatever you're doing at this point in your life is definitely the most important thing you'll ever do.

"I'm Just A Kid" by Simple Plan

"And it seems everyone in the world is having more fun than me tonight." My thoughts exactly while looking at everyone else's Snapchat stories as I'm locked in the library.

"Sugar, We're Going Down" by Fall Out Boy

This one goes out to my GPA.

"Misery Business" by Paramore

Finals season is very much the business of misery.

"Perfect" by Simple Plan

I'M SORRY I CAN'T BE PERRRRRFECT

"What's My Age Again?" by Blink-182

The lack of sleep and immense amount of stress has you looking like more of a meth addict than a college student, but Blink totally understands the identity crisis you're going through.

"I Hate Everything About You" by Three Days Grace

This one covers the love-hate (but mainly hate) relationship you have with school.

"All Downhill From Here" by New Found Glory

If we're being honest, sometimes positivity is overrated.

"In Too Deep" by Sum 41

Seriously, though, taking six classes and two labs was a terrible, terrible idea.

"The Science of Selling Yourself Short" by Less Than Jake

This is a good one that helps you embrace your failure, and accept the fact that the procrastination is all your fault, but you'll survive.

"Welcome To My Life" by Simple Plan

Catch the trend. Simple Plan is angst. Don't even pretend like this one doesn't give you flashbacks to staring out the window of the bus in seventh grade.

"The Middle" by Jimmy Eats World

I know I said positivity was overrated, but at this point, it's also needed. This song helps you look at the glass half full.

"Over My Head (Better Off Dead)" by Sum 41

Sum 41 offers neat alternatives to studying!

"American Idiot" by Green Day

Green Day is here to remind you why you're putting yourself through all this stress.

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.
