13 Things You Should Be Able To Put On Your Resume

The task of crafting a perfect resume is a daunting experience. What am I supposed to write? How can I stand out from the crowd? You desperately think of any skills you have, and then you wonder if those skills or talents even matter. Sometimes the skills that really matter to us aren't the ones that typically belong on a resume; however, they're vital for being a successful human being. Here are 13 things that you should be able to put on your resume:


1. Your Netflix watching efficiency.

Are you impressed that I can watch two seasons of "The Office" in a week? You should be.

2. Song-lyric memorization.

That's why I sing so much at work.

3. Your alcohol tolerance

4. Your ability to come up with witty comments in conversation hours after they happen.

The boss will appreciate your genius.

5. The organizational skills that come with getting a group of people to and from a bar (especially when multiple Ubers are involved).

6. Resisting the urge to punch that one annoying kid who talks too much in your class.

7. Getting out of bed today.

8. That one time you almost dropped your phone on the cement but caught it in mid-air before it hit the ground.

9. Remembering to call your parents or siblings on their birthdays.

Extra points if you got them a gift.

10. Going to the gym twice a week.

11. Your ability to start a ten page paper the night before it's due and still somehow manage to turn it in on time.

It might not be the best, but it's done.

12. A reference from your mom or your dog.

Preferably your dog, but Mom is always around as a backup.

13. And your SnapChat score.

This addition to your resume would be the key to your success.

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.
