We may not realize it, but the things we wear/wore throughout the years change all the time. Looking back into past fashion choices can really make you cringe, but it brings back memories just thinking about all of the awful things you once wore.

Let's start at the beginning.

Third grade:

Your style was simple and consisted of three shirts and one pair of sneakers that you bought at Payless with your mom.

Trends: Bubble/popcorn shirts, gaucho pants, some cute clogs, and wearing a short sleeved shirt over all of your long sleeves that you bought at Old Navy.

Fourth grade:

Time to hit the blacktop during recess to test out your new Heelys! Don't forget about those cute thin scarves!

Trends: The jean skirt, the skort, Aeropostale polos, and floaty flip flops.

Fifth grade:

Flared shirts. Flared pants.


Trends: Flared everything from jeans to corduroy, and Nike Shocks.

Sixth grade:

It's time you tell your mom that you want "real clothes" and it ends up looking something like this.


Trends: Plaid bermuda shorts, a tight Abercrombie shirt with a visible tank top underneath, straight leg jeans with tall Uggs, and of course your gym shirt was tucked in on one side or was tied with a hair tie in the back, making you look like you had a tail.

Seventh grade:

Time to get sporty! Your gym clothes were your real clothes and you always had on your fleece North Face.

Trends: Lax shorts all day everyday, plain T-shirts, and Juicy hoodies. Coming to the realization that sweats and short Uggs is actually a good idea.

Eighth grade:

Now it's time to get real. Your old Bermuda and lacrosse shorts aren't cutting it anymore, and so you invest in some new ones. All of a sudden you're wearing Soffe shorts, anything white, tan, or jean.


Trends: No more layering tight tees, but tank tops are still alive and well. Graphic tees and the occasional sports shirt.

Ninth grade:

Depending on who you are, ninth grade could've looked really good or really bad. Some may have still had on slightly flared jeans or corduroys and slipper Uggs. However, others were slowly but surely moving on to the new skinny jeans!

Trends: Jeans that were skinny, a tank top under a cardigan that was probably one of the primary colors. Bailey-button or knitted Uggs.

10th grade:

For some reason really brightly colored pants were a thing. I'm talking pink, yellow, magenta, green, you name it.

Trends: Colorful pants, riding boots, short zip up boots (but Uggs weren't completely gone yet), skinny jeans are in full force but everyone was starting to realize leggings are great. Plain solid-colored shirts, flats, V-necks, and gladiator shoes.

11th grade:

A revolution was happening—everyone was finally realizing that they could wear leggings as pants! Let's not forget about legging jeans, also known as jeggings

Trends: High/low skirts, maxi dresses, jeggings, brown tall riding boots, combat boots, Ugg moccasins, J. Crew shirts and jackets, Lululemon, Vans and Toms.

12th grade:

Your style has finally reached the point where you can go out into the world and be totally presentable. You wear heels out to most places, have figured out what to wear to parties, and your style has reached "college ready."

Trends: Flannels, jean shirts, long sweaters and infinity scarves.

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.

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.
