Your Senioritis Just Got Real

Your Senioritis Just Got Real

Whether you're in a high school or college, one thing remains the same -- your senior year. It's your last year of classes, and you're probably either looking into furthering your schooling or starting a career. Regardless of the path you choose, we all have one thing in common: We know firsthand that senioritis is not a myth.

You may feel it in the beginning of the year... You wake up on the first day of school and realize that this is your last year and it is going to be filled with so many memories! You'll have plenty of stories to tell your kids (if that relationship thing ever happens).

You start off by really working on your appearance... You're a senior now and everybody will be able to tell by how adult you look.

But about two weeks in you give up on that and people just assume you're about to graduate because you look slightly homeless.

Then you get to winter break and it hits you: one semester left. You're going to have to learn how to adult pretty soon.

Suddenly your classes don't seem relevant anymore -- just like doing busy work to pass the time. When you actually show up, you spend the whole class feeling pretty annoyed and doing just about anything to entertain yourself. Until of course, the teacher brings up something that "we all should know by now" and you don't remember hearing about that at all. And here you thought you knew everything.


You start counting down the weeks, then the days, and your escape is so close you can barely stand it...

Until you realize you're about to start adulting real soon.

And suddenly you wish you could make time go slower. Graduation is around the corner, and you're running around trying to tie loose ends together, wondering if you're educated enough to have a career or to start an even higher level of schooling. But now you're off to bigger and better things that aren't as scary as they look, and they will all be shaped by what you do right now.

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.
