13 Things You Understand As The Oldest Sibling
Th Huffington Post

1. You were just getting used to being the only child until your parents broke the the news to you.

2. Once the baby was born, for a little while you felt like Woody did after Andy got Buzz for his birthday.

3. You wish your parents had kids sooner, so you had someone to play with growing up. Instead, you just played pretend with your imaginary friends.

4. Your age isn't that far apart, but the gap is big enough to the point that you don't have the same interests as the rest of your siblings. Barbies and action figures are nothing but plastic to you now.

5. By the time you end up with sibling #4, you're practically a professional at changing diapers.

6. Before you do anything stupid you think, "Would I want my siblings to see me doing this?"/"Would I murder them for doing what I'm doing?"

7. Once you reach a certain age, you become the 2-in-1, oldest child and babysitter extraordinaire.


8. You catch your younger sibling doing something that you used to get in trouble for, and you quickly try to correct and stop them before your parents see them and get angry.

9. It's perfectly okay for you to mess with your siblings, but if you see or hear someone else do it you get a little over protective.

10. When you come home from college you notice your stuff is missing, broken, or in your sibling's room.

11. You constantly brag about them like a proud parent when they're brought up in a conversation.


12. Sometimes you feel forgotten by your parents, but you know it's only because they have to worry about your little siblings and you can take care of yourself now.

13. Even though they're the most annoying human alive, they're also your forever best friends and you couldn't be happier to have the little dirts in your life.

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.
