7 Weird Things You Think About When You’re Bored
Tafrihi Center

When you're bored or tired or alone, your mind starts thinking about some weird things. Sometimes you think of the most amazing idea and then 10 seconds later you decide that it's terrible. Admit it, you've thought of at least one of these ridiculous things.

1) “I should be a celebrity.”

When you're singing in the shower, sometimes you realize how amazing you are at singing. And then you decide that you're going to become a popstar. You start planning out your outfits, your nickname, your song titles; you've got it all figured out. Then when you get out of the shower, you realize that you have homework to do and don't have time to be a popstar.

2) “How small are we?”

Have you ever looked up at night and thought “I am just one person in one country on one planet in one solar system in one galaxy.” Humans and the earth are so tiny if you think about the big picture. Somewhere far, far away, there could be someone just like me on another planet, galaxies away. Do they know we exist? Are they more advanced than us? What if they're super tall or super short? What if they have three legs?

3) “Can dogs hear?”

Have you ever been deep in thought about some strange stuff and wondered if your dogs can hear you? In their own minds, they can hear what we're saying, but they pretend they can't hear it and they pretend that they can't talk so that they stay undercover. No one else thinks that sometimes? Maybe It’s just me.

4) “What happens if I stay on the train?”

What would happen if you fell asleep on a train and missed your stop? The train might not circle back around. Would you be stuck there? Would you have to walk? Would someone wake you up?

5) “I should start a YouTube channel.”

Have you ever been watching YouTube and thought “I should totally start a YouTube channel!”? I mean, from all the YouTube you watch, you should really know a lot about it. And it just looks so fun! But then you come back to the reality that you have a life outside of the internet and you have things to do. And you don't want creepy stalker people following you on the internet.

6) “Are bugs scared of me?”

When there's a little tiny bug on the floor, and you're running around terrified as if it's going to eat you, have you ever stopped to think about how ridiculous you are? That bug is so small, it could get stepped on by a human at any second. It's probably much more scared of you than you are of it.

7) “What would it be like to live in a movie?”

Have you ever finished a great movie and had the horrible feeling of having to return back to the real world? Well, wouldn't it be great if you could just live in the movie? You would meet all the characters and see what they see! What movie would you pick to live in? Would you be you or would you be a character? Hopefully, I'm not the only one whose mind dreams up these crazy thoughts.

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.

beer on the beach

Summer is hot and humid, and it's almost like summer was made specifically to drink the refreshing, cold, crisp wonderful, delicious, nutritious nectar of the gods. Which is none other than beer; wonderful cold beer. With summer playing peek-a-boo around the corner while we finish up this semester, it's time to discuss the only important part of summer.
