To the student who knows what they want to do in life

As students in high school, you're told that you do not need to decide what you want to do. You visit college after college and you have to give a guess, but everyone says do not worry, you will change your mind. I hate that.

As a college freshman, people still tell me that your major or your plan will change, and maybe it will, but right now I love thinking that my future will end up how I picture it. To all the students out there who question themselves and feel like they are forced to do so, ignore it! You have all the power.

Ever since I was little I had interests that faded but always came back. I loved psychology. I may have not realized it, but I thought a therapist was a great job and I loved the aspect of how people learn differently. I realize now, that passion was psychology all along.

Throughout my whole life I always joked I would be president one day. Okay, maybe I did not always mean it as a joke, BUT I visited Washington D.C. last year, and I loved it. I loved seeing everything that there was to do, that I still have my pass to sit in at the Senate in my desk at school. I loved the idea of government and law.

Currently, I am a psychology and government & law double major. I absolutely love it. I have known for a while that I have had these interested and I have continued to enjoy them. As the months continue, I still do not question my choice. There is no need for someone to do that either.

To all the students out there who know what they want to do, and who are told to doubt that, be open, but do not fear. You will make the right choice. You will figure it out and follow your passion. You will be great at whatever you do. As a second semester freshman, I am confident that I can do it, so I know you can, too.

Good luck!

I am going to a rhyme without reason date function and I have looked at so many different rhyming words and I figured there need to be a new list of words. At these functions, there are usually at least two rockers and boxers and an umpteenth amount of dogs and frogs. I have come up with a list of creative and unique ideas for these functions.

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.
