Transfers all have challenges their first year at another college, no matter why they transferred, or where they transferred from. These are 10 things that transfers feel their first year at their new college.

1. When you're so done with the whole orientation weekend

I just can't deal with 4 sessions about how to study in college

2. You feel like a freshman again

Where are my classes? Why is this campus so big?

3. The feeling you get when you're asked if you are a freshman

No, no I am not, I am NOT one of those people.

4. The feeling you get when you can't decide who your roommate is going to be

Please let them be cool, please!!!

5. The feeling you get when you love your new roommate

Thank the heavens above they were cool.

6. The feeling you get when you meet another transfer

Wait, there is someone who understands my inner turmoil and understands what I'm going through??

7. The feeling you have when you have to take a freshman course

I'm surrounded by small children, I shouldn't be in this course!!

8. The feeling you get when a freshman in said freshmen course asks a million questions

Person in the front, there is a strict 5 question per hour rule, and you just demolished that! Did you seriously just ask about the homework that was assigned for today, that the teacher forgot about?

9. The feeling you get when you go to a new student gathering just for the free food

Oh there is a zip line? Cool! Cute boys? Cool Free College swag? That's cool... PIZZA!!!

10. When you miss your friends from your old college

Its especially tough when your best friend now lives over 8 hours away, and you will probably never see them again.

11. When you step foot into the Registrar's office for any reason

What do you mean its going to take me an extra semester to graduate?? But last time I was in here you said I could graduate on time??

12.When you get to college and have no friends

Last semester I had a social life.... now my social life is dead.

13. When you find that person who has potential to become your new best friend

I love you, so love me back? No? Well, ok I guess...

14. When you eat meals alone

How many social interactions have I had this week you ask? Only about 3, and one of them was a mandatory group project.

Transferring is a struggle for anyone, and you don't necessarily fit into the role of a "normal college student." But no matter the struggles, whether we had a great year, or a not so great year, we love our school and are glad we transferred.

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.

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.
