10 Things You Hear When You Come Home From College

It's the most wonderful time of the year...just not for answering a ridiculous amount of questions.

These are 10 things you hear when you come home from break:

1. "How is school?"

Such a loaded question, and there is not really enough words to explain it all.

2. "What have you learned?"

Other than learning that everyone is now suddenly an activist and that despite what your professors may think, you really can finish an assignment in one night, classes have taught me a few things.

3. "What are you majoring in again?"

Being undecided with people constantly asking about your major isn't always the most comfortable situation.

4. "How are those grades looking?"

Your grades are almost always the first topic of discussion.

5. "You need to help clean up this house."

Even though you haven't been home in months, somehow you're still expected to help clean up.

6. "Are you making friends?"

You may only have one, but at least that's better than none!

7. "Are you happy to be home?"

It's always a shock switching back into reality when you get home from school.


8. "We see you aren't missing any meals."

Some people never fail to remind you that the freshman 15 is very real, as if you already didn't know that yourself.

9. "Do you have a boyfriend?"

No grandma, for the 13th time, I don't have a boyfriend.

10. "Wait, are you new here?"

Going back to your old job over the break and all the new employees think you're new, too.

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.
