Making Your Own Food Sucks, And 8 Other Things I Learned After Moving Into My First Apartment
Sara Durphy

Moving into your first college apartment is hard. Here are some things I learned:

1. You have to clean everything

Otherwise you just feel like you're living in a dirty environment.

2. Making your own food sucks.

I miss my mom's cooking! I have been surviving off of toast and eggs.

3. You can bake whenever you want.

Freshman 15 may have been bad. Junior 50 is going to be worse.

4. Doing your own laundry

Even though I had to do my own laundry in the dorm, it still feels so weird doing it in an apartment.

5. Going food shopping alone

I hated food shopping at home. It is even worse at school.

6. Locking the door

I don't know why, but locking and making sure the door is locked every night is so hard.

7. Driving yourself around

Not having a parent to drive you around is not fun.

8. Missing home

While in my own apartment, I realized how much I miss home.

9. You realize how much you took for granted at home

Now that I am fending for myself, I really miss home.

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.
