Summer is finally here. Let me say that one more time. SUMMER IS FINALLY HERE!!!!!! The dreaded finals week is over, and luckily, we all survived. But while I am super excited about summer break, there are a few things I will miss about college. So, here's just a few things you'll probably miss, too.

1. Friends.

This one is the most obvious and the most important. During the fall and spring semester, you get to spend all the time you like with your friends who live out-of-state. But during the summer, you really start to miss them.

2. Having a schedule.

Okay, so while the first few weeks of summer with unlimited free time are WONDERFUL, after I while, I kind of miss my hectic school schedule. I loved running around from class to club meetings to my on-campus job. I feel like the only thing I really accomplish during the summer is finishing a new Netflix series (which isn't a bad thing).

3. The food.

Don't lie to yourself. There is probably at least one meal you're going to miss from you college's cafeteria.

4. Football season.

As summer approaches, that means it's getting closer to football season. If you're like me, you'll spend your summer counting down the days until it's time to cheer on your favorite team.

5. Your favorite spots on campus.

We all have our favorite #views on campus where we eat lunch or watch Netflix when we have free time.

6. Midnight fast food runs.

I can't tell you how many times I went to Mcdonald's or Cookout in the dead of the night. When you go home for the summer, it's hard to talk your parents into going to get fast food with you when normal people are sleeping.

7. The classes or professors you actually like.

Some may disagree with me, BUT, there are certain professors and classes I will truly miss during the summer. They really helped make my junior year better.

8. Sleeping in.

Whether your mom is waking you up or you have a summer job to go to, you will miss those days where you slept till noon.

9. Your roommates.

As much as you didn't enjoy sharing a room or bathroom with someone else, your roommie holds a special place in your heart and life won't be the same without them being right next to you.

10. The overall college vibe.

The friends, the food, the all-nighters, the memories– you truly miss it so much during the summer.


So while I will enjoy my summer break, I'm already ready for next fall!

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.

beer on the beach

Summer is hot and humid, and it's almost like summer was made specifically to drink the refreshing, cold, crisp wonderful, delicious, nutritious nectar of the gods. Which is none other than beer; wonderful cold beer. With summer playing peek-a-boo around the corner while we finish up this semester, it's time to discuss the only important part of summer.
