Everyone has their own ups and downs each day. But I think it's safe to say that what unites people more than anything are those unavoidable cringe-worthy moments that we all suffer from. For example, nails on a chalkboard. (I cringed while typing that sentence.) Enjoy reading these 13 most common moments that make you cringe and I dare you not to squirm while reading them...It's impossible.

1. Making eye contact with someone through the crack in the bathroom stall when you've been sitting there for a couple of minutes already...

2. Thinking someone is waving to you and waving back...

3. Talking to someone while they have something in their teeth the entire time.

Or worse realizing you've had something in your teeth that entire time.

4. Hearing what your voice sounds like recorded

5. Someone cutting their burrito in half

How dare you.

6. Running into the teacher that you don't like anywhere other than the classroom

Do I wave? Do I smile? Do I hide?

7. Walking by a nice family visiting the campus while you're taking a walk of shame on a Sunday morning.

By that point you should probably walk straight to Church. Y'all need Jesus.

8. Seeing someone barefoot on the sticky floor of the bar.

Dirty toenails and all. Unsanitary doesn't even begin to describe it.

9. Watching that one kid in your 8am drink a diet coke.

Every. Single. Class.

10. When the classroom or anywhere becomes unbearably silent suddenly


11. When the teacher asks a question and no one knows the answer AND THEY WAIT until someone finally says something and no one is taking one for the team and stepping up. You avoid eye contact at ALL COSTS.

You can cut the awkward silence with a knife.

12. Kids in the lib with their feet on the desk and no shoes on.

You nasty.

13. Seeing the person you met drunk in the bathroom the night before

....are you guys friends? Do they remember this memory you share?

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.

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.

beer on the beach

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. Which is none other than beer; wonderful cold beer. With summer playing peek-a-boo around the corner while we finish up this semester, it's time to discuss the only important part of summer.
