Procrastination. It’s a problem.

I’ve been “working” on this article for almost three hours now with little to show for it. I find any conversation around me to join in to, find a new youtube video to watch, or get lost trying to find an article to give me inspiration. I even turned it in a little late because I couldn't think of anything. I'm sure that there are a ton of people who suffer from the same problem. Hopefully, this article sheds some light into the life of a procrastinator. Or, it might not because you're all gonna save this article for later and never read it...

I’ve struggled with procrastination all my life. I wait until the last possible moment to do anything, including regular everyday things like showering, or brushing my hair. I walk out the door right on time, every time.

I’m starting my senior year of college, and this is the time where I need to work on my adulting skills. I need to send in grad school applications, take the GRE, get interviews set up, and all that fun stuff. But I just can’t bring myself to do it.

What makes someone a procrastinator? It’s gotta be something psychological. I always do my best work under pressure. I’ll never know why, but every time I have to write a paper for a class I always do it the night before it’s due. Let me tell you, I got at least an A or B on each paper. I don’t know how, but I did. I’m not proud of it by any means, but you do what you gotta do!

Now, I’ve always tried to come up with ways to combat Procrastination. All the ways proved futile and the problem still has yet to be solved. For someone who is super involved like me, the problem needs to be solved. The one thing I always have to work on is time management. For any job interview that is always what I say.

Maybe someday I’ll fix the problem or someone will come up with a way to fix it for me (that would be ideal). Until then I have some Netflix to watch and things to avoid.

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.

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.
