Five Signs You Know You're In Summer Mode

Well it's about that time of year when exams end, students graduate and the rest of the campus goes home for the summer. Unless you're on a Co-Op, Summer Abroad trip or participating in an internship, you're most likely kicking it back home with your siblings, friends, parents and pets. You may even find yourself falling back into the summer mode. You know which one I'm talking about. And, if you don't, then here are five signs you might be—but most probably are—in summer mode.


1. You've lost any and all motivation to do school work

Unless you're taking summer classes, you've most likely lost any will to do anything remotely educational. This includes everything from reviewing old concepts in preparation for next semester to answering emails from professors and classmates concerning school or club activities. This is most likely going to last until August and may even wane as you get closer to school, but don't worry. It's here to stay for the time being.

2. You haven't left your house in a few days

So since you haven't had classes, you haven't felt the need to move from your spot on the sofa. You've gotten to know the walls and inner workings of your home very well and have become accustomed to moving only a few feet each day. This shouldn't last for a while since you shouldn't do "nothing" forever. Or, you could—it's your summer.

3. You don't know today's date

Another side effect of staying home 24/7 is that you forget the date because your days blend together. To be honest, you're not sure what month it is let alone the day. All you know is that it's the summer and you don't need to go to class.

4. You've seen more shows and movies on Netflix than you have actual people

Since you got home, your life has been a constant loop of Netflix. You've watched show after show after movie after show and YES I'M STILL WATCHING. Before you've also realized that you have seen more shows and movies on Netflix than living people. It's sad to some but impressive to others.

5. You miss your friends, but not enough to want school back

You left your school and friends and you miss them! You wish you could hang out with them, but you don't wish it enough to want school back. As much as you miss them, you aren't ready to give up the freedom to watch "Gossip Girl" for six hours straight and not have any homework to procrastinate. Sorry, not sorry.


Here are the five signs proving that you are in summer mode. It'll be over before you even know it, so, for the time being, lie on a beach and forget your worries. Or, stay in front of your TV screen. I'm not judging.

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.
