10 Ways You Know Your Roommate Is A Keeper
Olivia Kelley

Some of you may be scarred by your past roommate experiences. Or maybe you had a roommate that wasn't exactly a nightmare, but they wouldn't have been your first choice either. If you're somewhat indifferent towards your roommate and you're having difficulty deciding whether you should room together again, you're in luck! I happen to live with the best roomie ever, so I know a thing or two about qualities of the ideal roommate. Here are 10 things that will tell you if your roommate is a keeper:

1. They bring you food from your room whenever you need it.

My roommate always comes in clutch by bringing me food when I'm out and don't feel like paying for any sustenance.

2. They don't mind sleeping with the lights on while you finish your homework in the room at 1 a.m.

It's a great sacrifice.

3. They own a Keurig.

You should probably offer to buy some of the K-Cups.

4. They own a printer.

Because school printers are unreliable and annoying.

5. They are either just as messy or just as clean as you are.

As long as it's on both sides of the room, it's fine.

6. They like the same type of music that you do.

What's life without roomie dance parties?

7. They don't put you in awkward situations by having friends in your room that you don't know.

It's important that your roommate respects you and knows what and who makes you uncomfortable.

8. They share everything with you.

What's your roommate's is yours and vice versa.

9. They will wake you up if they need to.

No one appreciates a roommate who lets them sleep through all of their classes.

10. They are your BFF.

It's honestly so awesome to be best friends with your roommate.

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.
