From the loser in Highschool

What it's really like Coming Home During the sUMMER

Freshman year of college is over, it had its up and it had its down. If you are anything like me, you are tired of being broke all the time so you hop on getting as many jobs and hours possible for a human being bad in your small home town that you desperately avoided all year.

You get home and one thing that hits you harder than a boulder is checkin-check out back in place at home, you can't just leave at 11;30 at night or stay out till 6 am, your senior year of high school curfews and rules some have found a way back. I got extremely irritated because back home is a good 30 min from any kind of decent shopping and that is a big difference wen you can't just run places.

You miss your college friends specially the ones that live out of state, the ones that really got you are now hours and hours away. When you avoided being home all year its hard to start over again for 3 months, and make friends again. With comping back to your old high school town brings a good amount of high school drama, because you forgot that people actually care about nonsense, it gets on your nerves. Because when something is said in a small town everyone and their mom knows about it.

Dating is the most horrible thing when you in college but home for the summer, because you know this "fling" will end when your back to your 2-3 hour away school, and your "fling" back at school might be over when you get back, a lot changes in a couple months. Its just a turn off if you know that your leaving in a couple months.

You told yourself, "Ya I can work 60 hours a week" don't do that to your self, you need me time or you will cry when it gets to much, trust me slowly learning. Employers will not want to change it as fast as you would think, you need to take time and breathe and actually enjoy some of your summer, because if your from Nebraska, winter lasts forever.

You enjoy your family, but silently praying for classes to start again.

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.
