May 17th and "russ" by ragnhildmorland

May 17th and "russ"

In Norway we have a senior year tradition known as "russ", and this year it was my time to celebrate finishing 13 years of school. As a part of the "russefeiring" ("russ"celebration) we get a name, which gets written on our "russelue" ("russ"cap(?)), which is supposed to represent us :) On our "russele" we tie different knots - rewards for doing different dares. This is a photo of my "russelue", with most of the knots I got :)

(Buzzfeed actually made an article about the celebration: http://www.buzzfeed.com/sheridanwatson/this-crazy-norwegian-tradition-makes-teens-everywhere-else-l#.mq01Nda6O. Painfully spot on for many russ ...)

Happy May 17th to my norwegian freinds! :)
Gratulere med dagen til deg også og ha en kjempeflott russefeiring!
