Been there. Done that.

If you go to lecture enough, it's only a matter of time before:

1. Your stomach decides this is the time to tell the world your hungry.

We've all been there. You wake up late for your 10 am. By the time you get to class, you realize you really should've at least grabbed an apple because now you're stuck in a quiet lecture with your stomach growling as loud as humanly possible. All you can do is keep acting natural and hope they blame it on the person next to you.

2.  Getting to class late and being that person who asks the people around you for a pen and paper.

Giphy

Also been there done that. I don't know if my school supplies get sucked into a black hole every time I'm late to class because somehow I just end up looking more like a mess. I swear I have my life together just not today.

3. Your phone rings during class (extra awk if you have a sick ringtone).

Giphy

The classic mistake, forgetting to turn off your ringer. My favorite is when they have the Kim Possible ringtone.

4. You're sick and cough every .2 seconds and feel like your distracting everyone.

Giphy

We all get sick but it sucks when this is us in class and you can't do much about it.

5. When you’re done with a test early and are sitting in the middle of the row.

Giphy

Can someone tell me why lecture halls have the smallest space between rows? When you're done with your test early and made the fatal mistake of sitting in the middle of the row - get ready for a very awkward experience of getting out.

6. When you look around class and just make awkward eye contact with someone.

7. Accidentally flinging your pen to the person in front of you

Giphy

Just me? In one of my classes, I was swinging my pen like this and I don't know how but somehow it left my hand and hit the kid in front of me in the head. I awkwardly apologized and asked for my pen back.

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.
