As semesters come to an end they always feel like they flew by. We sometimes forget all the details and small memories that pass us by while we are busy running towards summer. The result is that it doesn't feel like much happened by the time we get to the final week. However, it is important to remember that you did a lot this semester and you should not let it go unnoticed.


1. You probably did your laundry a few times.

2. That one time you were ahead on your homework.

3. Eating 3 meals a day.

It can be hard to find the time in your day to feed yourself three whole times but it's pretty cool when you make it work.

4. Going to the gym.

Who cares if it was just the week before Spring Break. All that matters is that you went.

5. Brushing your hair.

6. Feeding your pet.

7. Going to your morning class.

It doesn't matter if your first class is at 8 A.M. or 11 A.M., nobody ever is in the mood to go, but you went and I am proud of you.

8. You had at least one conversation with your TA.

9. You went to office hours (or maybe planned to).

10. You kept your high heels on the entire night.

11. You only called out of work like once.

12. You made your own doctor appointments.

13. You cleaned your room.

14. You sent an adult email.

15. You got out of bed the first time your alarm went off

16. You only spent money once during your day.

17. You probably finished multiple seasons of a show on Netflix.

18. You did that one thing for extra credit.

19. You kept a pretty decent planner.

20. You remembered to call your parents.

This is easy to do when your parents help you through those hard times.

21. Didn't get arrested.

22. Made new friends.

Whether it was joining a new organization or taking a different class, you met someone new that you really appreciate.

23. You made it to the library at least once.

24. You didn't loose your phone or keys while out.

25. You took your car to get an oil change.

26. You got an adequate amount of sleep that one night at the beginning of the semester.

27. You avoided that one crisis that one time at that one place with that one person

You know what I am talking about.

28. You were the mom of the group one night.

29. You stayed in that one time to study/do homework.

30. You passed (most of) your classes

I am going to a rhyme without reason date function and I have looked at so many different rhyming words and I figured there need to be a new list of words. At these functions, there are usually at least two rockers and boxers and an umpteenth amount of dogs and frogs. I have come up with a list of creative and unique ideas for these functions.

If you like what you see, get a shopping cart going with these costumes.

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.
