Coping With Post-Ultra Depression

We came, we raved, we conquered.

Coping With Post-Ultra Depression
UltraMusicFestival.com

For about a year now (since the last Ultra Music Festival) you've been waiting for this moment. You spent hours making Kandi bracelets and planning outfits along with spending your entire life's savings on tickets. Now that UMF is finished, what do you do now? It's like you have nothing to live for anymore. You have to wait 365 days until the next one. But until then, try to recuperate from this one.

After this weekend, you're probably not on your A-game. You're most likely exhausted, dehydrated, hungry and possibly brain dead. So a good thing to start with during the week after Ultra, is to drink a lot of water, detox with healthy foods, get plenty of rest and start getting yourself back into the school mode.


Class on Monday was probably not an option. You've probably slept all day and are contemplating whether you should take Tuesday off as well. But the sooner you get back into the groove, the sooner your body and mind will start to normalize itself.


The weekends after will seem excruciatingly boring. They will seem like just normal weekends, filled with the usual stuff you do like parties or hanging out (pretty regular college-weekend activities). The nostalgia of your past weekend is creeping up by the second.

For those who went for their first time, you now can decide whether raving was for you. It's always good to try new things and it's super beneficial to discover what your preferences are and what they aren't. Some people may have found that Ultra really wasn't for them. I mean, it is very energy consuming.

For those of you who went and loved it, you can now start saving your money for next year. You can even start the process of planning your outfits (it's never too early).

So you raved your little butts off and now it's time for a long, deep slumber. Responsibilities have never seemed so brutal but just keep in mind that there are so many other wonderful music festivals out there that fill up the entire year. So don't get too tired yet!

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.

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.
