26 Signs that You Are a Volleyball Player
Volleyball Basics

Whether you played casually on the beach with your friends, on your high school team, or even in college, you know that just like any other sport, volleyball has its own ins and outs (ha-ha quite literally). Read up on the 25 ways people know you play volleyball.

1. Your kneepads stink.

Seriously, those things are toxic.

2. Your ankle braces stink.

3. Even your volleyball bag stinks.

At this point, you've pretty much given up.

4. You’re almost always the tallest person in the room.

Sorry libs.

5. Clothes never fit right.


What are these -- clothes made for ants!? See number 5.

6. Your knees look like they have been attacked by a chainsaw

Floor burns on floor burns.

7. Elbows, hips, and any other knobby extremities are also jacked up.


Anyone who said volleyball is a non-contact sport clearly didn’t include contact with the floor.

8. Pre-wrap isn’t just for injuries, it’s a ~fashion accessory~..

Not sure why this girl is hunching, but pre-wrap head bands are so in.

9. There's almost always a hole.

Sorry mids, but you're most likely going to get blamed for it.

10. You’ve probably yelled at a ref before.

Are you kidding me, THAT WAS SO OUT!

11. Sport courts are the bane of your existence.

Lmk how it's possible to rip a jump serve with three feet of court.

12. Any casual game of “Prisoner” or “Keep it Up” turns into a full on blood bath for you.


Everyone probably hated your guts in high school gym class.

13. You think being 6’ is short.

14. The only volleyball players people are familiar with are Misty May and Kerry Walsh.

But, honestly, you're kind of okay with that because they're legends.

15. Facials are not as enjoyable as one might think.

16. Pancakes are not for eating.

17. Your personal hell can be summed up by four words: “Get on the line.”

They're called suicides for a reason.

18. Your fingers are nearly always jammed.

19. You think butt touches and high fives are normal in real life.

Sadly, the rest of the world doesn't seem to think so.

20. Ankle socks are lame.

21. Turtle-shell kneepads are also lame.


22. You’re a scrub if your socks and your kneepads don’t match.

23. Campfires aren’t for s’mores.

24. Turkeys aren't the only things that get stuffed.


25. You randomly jump and try and touch all low-hanging exit signs

Exit signs are a good stand in for the VertMax, right?

26. At the end of the day, you wouldn't want to play any other sport.

Ball is life, and you wouldn't have it any other way.

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.
