10 Things Every EMU Freshman Should Know
Alex Jones

With the start of college fast approaching, I wanted to share my Top 10 things that I learned during my freshman year. My hope is that people who are coming in don't make the same mistakes I did.

1. If you don't feel 100% comfortable with your major, change it.

2. It doesn't matter who is doing what, just worry about yourself




3. Don't be scared to talk to people and make friends.


4. Don't feel like you have to look nice for class, it doesn't matter and it won't affect your final grade.


5. Most every freshman is as clueless as you are.


6. Try not to pick classes earlier than 9 am.


7. GO TO CLASS!!!


8. If you absolutely dread going to meetings for your extracurricular maybe you should drop it.


9. It's OK not to party every single weekend, college isn't all about partying.


10. Don't be afraid to ask for help; the math and writing centers exist for a reason.

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.
