During Christmas Break, a lot of college students (including myself) tend to get lazy and only want to sleep all day. However, there is plenty for you to do over Christmas Break. Here are 10 things that you can do over break if you need any ideas.

1. Spend Time with Friends

This will give you time to catch up with them and see how their experience in college is different from yours. You can also talk about the good days or even the bad days in high school.

2. See a New Movie that is Out

Most of the best films are released during the holiday season (like the new Star Wars). It is a great time to go see new movies because you have a lot of free time.

3. Have a Christmas Party/Go to a Christmas Party

This is the time to spread holiday cheer with friends or family while having fun with those special people in your life.

4. Spend Time with Family

You haven't seen them in like a month or so, so why wouldn't you spend time with them?! This gives you and your family time to talk about things that you have missed when you weren't there.

5. Exercise

Start your new year resolution a few weeks early by exercising regularly during the break. This will keep you healthy and happy during break. Also the Christmas dinner food won't affect you as much if you already are exercising.

6. Bake Christmas Desserts

Doing this will get you in the holiday spirit. Bake cookies, cakes, or pies. Your house will be filled with a delicious aroma of great desserts. Also, this will be a great thing to do on your cheat days.

7. Look at Your Schedule for Next Semester

This will get you familiar with your classes and your professors. It will help you be ready to kill next semester with great grades as well.

8. Go Christmas Caroling with Family and Friends

By caroling with your family and friends, you will spread cheer to strangers who might actually need the holiday cheer.

9. Go See Christmas Lights

This is a great thing to do! You get to see other people's yards filled with amazing light displays. Or other people who go overboard when it comes lights, but its still very cool to see.

10. Volunteer at Shelters or Soup Kitchens

Serving your community is a very good thing to do over your Christmas Break. You will be spreading cheer to those less fortunate than you. Also, you will give them great joy by doing this great deed.

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.

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.
