The Adventures of Moving

There's no reason of getting stressed over things you can't control

The Adventures of Moving

I had the definition of worst weeks! School started, which is a challenge within itself, plus had to move to three different dorms, which is good because the dorms have gotten better each time. On the contrary, it's exhausting as you can imagine. The school made a mistake (like I stated in my other article), and I was supposed to have a roommate, but when I got there my alleged roommate said: "No we aren't roommates". On top of that, the room that they gave me was filthy, so I was like... "no I can't stay in this room".

The next day, the Dorm Director (who turns out to be a pretty cool guy; way better than the one last year...no shade intended), told me we'll move you into a different dorm, and you and the guy you wanted can be roommates. I agreed to it, but the other guy didn't want to move in for whatever reason, so I had a room to myself. Then I found out that the school planned on closing the dorm I had just moved into! I thought the smart move would be to go ahead and move before they "officially" made me move.

That following day, the dorm director told me about yet another new room (which I have currently), that is a single (so that means I don't have a roommate), but I do have suite mates.I like this living condition better because I don't have to go down the hall just to use the bathroom or take a shower. To add a little more to the list, I'm trying to play baseball this year and stay involved in campus activities as much as I can.

It's pretty safe to say that this has not been a pleasant week, but next week should be better and should just grow from there. I'm excited for this school year. I'm excited for what it's going to bring, and all the adventures it will take me on. Yes, it's been a bumpy start at this point, but in the words of Tupac Shakur "You Gotta Keep Ya Head Up".

Since I like to stay positive and give advice to people in need, I have to stay positive for myself, because if I didn't, there's no telling what would fall apart. I guess I've always been like this, even when I was younger. In the words of a wise man, there's no reason of getting stressed over things you can't control.

I am going to a rhyme without reason date function and I have looked at so many different rhyming words and I figured there need to be a new list of words. 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.

If you like what you see, get a shopping cart going with these costumes.

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.
