Dear Past Semester, My Heart And GPA Will Recover

Let me tell you, this semester I gained more than school knowledge. I learned much more about myself than I thought I ever would.

Dear Past Semester, My Heart And GPA Will Recover

Last semester, I dropped one class and got a C in another. That stopped me from getting into the nutrition program that I sought after. I pledged that this semester I would work harder than ever before to get into that program. The class I retook was rough at first because I would often get flashbacks of what the class used to be for me aka Satan's Den. But once I got the hang of things, going to SI, Aplus, and class day after day, I didn't give up. I'm hoping that my hard work pays off for that class.

The class I retook, I just realized that the professor made the class more difficult than it initially should be. I worked as hard if not twice as hard to get the grade I desired. The matter of the fact was it was a mentality thing as well. I was not in a good place, to begin with, last semester. I was very worried at the beginning of the semester that having a boyfriend would hinder me from my studies. But I soon realized that he's one of my biggest fans. He studies with me every single day so that I'm able to continue growing. In a way, we water each other's garden so that we're able to prosper and grow. If it weren't for him and a select few, I wouldn't have been able to make it through this semester.

As the semester came to an end, I still struggled to study but it was a bit easier than the year before. I only hope that when the grades come out, I did better than the semester before because I only want to grow. I'm looking forward to the next semester and hoping that it will only be better than before.

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.
