College As Told By Cristina Yang
ABC News

If there's one thing I've learned from watching "Grey's Anatomy," it's that Cristina Yang definitely sums up every type of feeling that college students have in the course of a week. Although she doesn't seem like it, Cristina is one of the most relatable people on the show (and I really hope the rumors are true about her coming back in Season 13). I've learned so much from watching her be a kick-ass, hardcore cardio god, and she will always be my favorite character on "Grey's." So, as promised, here are the moments where I, and every other college student, can relate perfectly to the amazing Cristina Yang:

1. When you have so much homework to do, it's 3 a.m., and your life is falling apart.

2. When you're trying to figure out what to wear before you go out on a Saturday night.

3. When you unexpectedly run into one of your girls at a frat party.

3. Before you think the Freshman 15 can ever get to you.

4. When your huge lecture class of 200 people makes a group chat just to get through the semester.

5. When the people in your hall won't shut up or turn off their music when you're trying to sleep (not to mention the fact that you have an 8AM tomorrow).

6. When you actually feel like you're passing all of your classes for once.

7. When some creep makes a weird joke on the first (and last) date.

8. When you and your roommates just can't handle the stress of school work anymore and really, desperately need a break.

9. When you get invited to a date party or formal (or just anywhere in general).

10. When people complain about the struggles of easy gen-eds and 12 hour weeks while you're over here taking 300 level classes as a freshman with 16 hours of coursework.

11. When you finally, just barely get through the week.

12. When you're forced to spot people hooking up out in the open at a party like nobody can even see them.

13. When you find that most guys are just as immature in college as they were in high school.

14. When you just have a casual mental breakdown from the millions of assignments that all of your teachers just gave you at once.

15. When you and your roomie start finishing each others' sentences and becoming one another.


However, at the end of the day, you know that college is the best experience ever, and you wouldn't trade it for the world. You grow as a person, explore new things, learn about yourself, and finally start the path to your career. You appreciate how lucky you are to live in your new favorite place, whether it's Knoxville (like me) or any other city. You just know that life doesn't get much better than this.

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.

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.
