A Day In The Life Of A College Student

The best part of the day is going back to bed.

A Day In The Life Of A College Student

The day starts off with a sound that you already have come to know as dreadfully painful whether or not your alarm clock goes off at 6 AM or 10 AM. (God Bless those who have to wake up even earlier for 8 AM classes i.e, me). Each time you hit the snooze button, the alarm gets more and more annoying and trust me when I say that I hit snooze 2 or 3 times before I actually get out of bed.


Then it's time to get out of bed to get ready for the day. Each day you try to dress up and look acceptable but each day you probably fail, give in and then wear sweatpants.You brush your teeth, complete your morning routine, get your stuff ready for your first class and maybe eat breakfast. (If you woke up early enough, I usually never get the chance because I'd much rather sleep a little extra.)


You start your trek to class debating whether or not this is all worth it, you think about how many times you have missed this class already and if you can afford to miss another one. Which the answer is almost usually: absolutely not.

You get to class, sit in your usual seat, even though assigned seating in college is not a thing. Before class starts you use your phone or talk to your friends and most importantly you mentally prepare to sit down for an hour and a half, for each class you have today to listen to your professors lecture about a subject you are probably not that interested in. (Especially when you're a freshman taking your gen -ed classes.)

Your professor starts their lecture and you try really hard to pay attention but somehow your mind always goes elsewhere, whether it be about your pets, boyfriends, family, or getting food, somehow it's never on the particular subject of the class.

And then, of course, there is that moment where you snap out of your daydream and try catching up to what the professor is talking about in hopes that you won't get called on.


At this point, you usually have a break before your next class and its the perfect time to get lunch, NOT. Usually, your schedule will mix with a lot of other students' schedules and everyone goes to lunch around the same time and it takes forever to get that wrap you were day dreaming about in class. But regardless, it will probably be the highlight of your day because who doesn't love food.

After all your classes are over, you have dinner, maybe go to the gym and to all your extra curricular activities. Then you get to the point where its time to do your homework and by the end of that you tend to look like this:


Last but not least, its the point of the day where you can go back to bed and watch Netflix until you pass out. Whether you finished all your homework and feel good about it or procrastinated and ignored it, crawling into bed gets you into a much better mood.

Now thats the day in the life of the typical college student.

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.
