Dwarka

Notes:
Vishnu decides to allow a reincarnation of himself at the insisting of Brahma and Shiva
I thought Kansa killed all of Devaki's children but it says that he would let them since they weren't the 8th child (should've kept reading, Kansa does end up killing them)
Vasudeva's other wife Rohini gives birth to the 7th child Balarama who is the other reincarnation of Vishnu; he will help guide the other reincarnation throughout different times in life
When Kansa learned Krishna was living he order his soldiers and demons to find him and kill all male children
Krishna starts his troublemaking early (write a story based on one of his pranks)
Balarama and Rohini live with Krishna and his adoptive family
Kansa thought if he couldn't kill Krishna maybe he could kill his greatest companion Balarama
The gods are so sensitive; Indra throws a fit and makes everyone's life miserable because they worshipped someone other than him
Krishna is meeting all kinds of people during his youth
Narada tells Kansa to lure the brothers to him and kill them while they do not have their full strength
While walking through Mathura Krishna defeats the bad guys and helps the good ones
After the arena fights Kansas followers get scared and leave him alone so Krishna takes this opportunity to end him
Mathura falls into ruins because of war so Krishna says to build a new city and move
Krishna finds Rukmani, a reincarnation of Lakshmi who is Vishnu's queen, and they fall in love
Rukmani's father wanted her to marry someone else though so Krishna crashed the wedding and was able to gain Rukmani's hand and take her back to Dwarka

Introduction to the Soon Graduating Mariah

Hello~ My name is Mariah. I am an Environmental Sustainability: Planning and Management senior. I graduated high school in Arizona but I have lived in North Dakota, Texas, Arkansas, and Oklahoma so home just ends up being wherever I am at the moment. I am equally excited and not excited about graduating in May. I'm not sure what I want to do after graduation, whether it be get a job or continue with school, so it can be a little stressful when people always ask. Right now my dream job would be working at a cosmetics company and making the products more environmentally friendly. The coolest thing I've ever done is study abroad in Seoul, South Korea ( my favorite place ). I always have a story to share, which can sometimes make my friends and family a little crazy. I had wanted to travel abroad for as long as I could remember and actually following through with it was amazing. Even though some days were hard I had a lot of fun and would recommend Korea or just studying abroad i

Week 2 Story: The Sleepy Koala

Image
Story There once was a sleepy koala who spent most of his time in eucalyptus trees. One day when he was eating some eucalyptus leaves he came across a branch that did not look like the others. He asked " what shall I do with this odd branch? " He thought maybe he should try to eat it, although it didn't look very tasty. He thought another time to throw it down into the river where it could float away and bother a different creature. To his surprise the branch once answered back. It said " if you, sleepy koala, want me out of your sight just bury me under some dirt where the sun shines and I will never bother you in this form again ." The koala was hesitant. It would require a lot of work for him to leave his tree to bury this branch. He was very busy with his 22 hours of sleep and 2 hours of eating leaves. Nonetheless he decided it was important to get rid of the strange branch once and for all. He climbed down his tree and followed the branch's instruc
