Fresh Start

Sophomore year.

Fresh Start

New year equals a new me. As the beginning of school inches closer and closer, move in day is upon us. The struggles of getting everything settled and situated for the upcoming year lingers on and on which is an exhausting process. Having multiple trips to Financial aid, Bursar, Housing, etc. Having to wait in long lines while you're there making you and whoever came with you go from one place to another just to find out you needed it from some other department. Trying to squeeze every penny they can out of you. I know from personal experience for the last three weeks my mother and I had been dealing with it. Yes I said THREE WEEKS, we wanted to get a jump start to make sure when it came to me moving in I really wouldn't have to wait but only for them to let me in my room. It was almost like that but then we had found out some things that they really should have told us back in May or June that we didn't find out until the beginning of August so, which was also my fault as well but that made going up to school hell and didn't really make my mother to happy with me. Then we found out that since my mother works for the state I could've been receiving and extra discount on my tuition so me and my mother were both pretty irritated when we heard that. Things have a way of working out. So after all of that, I was getting my room and things the person I was suppose to be roommates with wasn't my roommate anymore for whatever reason, so that was irritating then there were tons of problems with my room so I just went home and came back the next day with the intentions to talk to someone about it; but as I walked into the dorm the dorm director was like since we made a mistake and you and the guy that was suppose to be your roommate weren't in the same room if you want to, we can move you into another dorm and you two can be roommates there. So, I went to go see the room and that room was better than my previous room so I jumped on the opportunity and now we're here with a better room and the roommate that I want.

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.

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.
