Summer classes. You can't deny the appeal. They're usually easier, cheaper, and after taking five or six classes in one semester, you think taking one or two in the summer will work better with your schedule. Every college kid faces this dilemma at one point or another, and here are the seven stages of taking a summer class.

1. Trying to decide

Do I really want to take a summer class? Can I afford to take this? Is there a class I want to take?

2. Picking the right class

"Okay, this one sounds easy, AND it gives me the credits I need, sounds perfect!"

3. The first day of class

You wake up excited, thinking these next few weeks will fly by and you'll be a few credits closer to your degree.

4. Slight regrets

As soon as your professor starts going over the syllabus, you realize the class may not be as easy as everybody said it would be.

5. Even more regrets

Wait... I have to buy a textbook?? And all the exams are in essay format??? Oh no.

6. Working hard... or hardly working?

You commit to the class, even with all of the assignments, and push yourself as hard as you can for those next two to five weeks.

7. Crossing the finish line

Whether you're thriving, or barely surviving, you finally finished your summer class(es) and now you can enjoy the rest of your break!

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.
