10 Things To Be Thankful For This Thanksgiving Break
Friends

I'm not sure about everyone else, but I'm counting down the hours until my Tuesday night, when I can finally head home for Thanksgiving break. There are so many obviously wonderful things about Thanksgiving break that I've decided to compile the top ten things every college student should be thankful for this week...


1. Seeing your family.

There is nothing I'm looking forward to more this week than getting to see my parents and my siblings. They're the most annoying wonderful people in my life, and offer a nice change of pace when it comes to reasons I want to pull my hair out.


2. No class for a week.

This one is so beautifully obvious, and doesn't really need a caption.


3. REAL. FOOD.

Einstein Bagels, I'm over you, and so is everyone else on campus.


4. Getting the squad back together.

Did someone say girls' night?


5. Getting to ignore your email for a week.

Or pretty much anything involving responsibility.


6. Being able to sleep as much as you want.

Oh, it's only 11:37 a.m.? Back to bed.


7. Binge watching as much as your heart desires.

What do you mean there are no more episodes of "Scandal" to watch?


8. Black Friday.

I accept my shopping addiction, and am more than willing to torture myself for the ability to save twenty dollars at Sephora (just don't be that guy that goes at 8 p.m. on Thursday).


9. Laundry.

I'm sure I'm not the only one bringing three bags of laundry home, saving myself the pain of the university's infamous cotton-eating dryers.


10. Christmas is just around the corner.

At least we know that once we are forced back here in a few days, it's only two weeks until our blissful month off for winter break. I can taste the tinsel.


Whatever it is you are thankful for this break, embrace it as much as possible because finals. are. coming...

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. And if you haven't already guessed, it's beer. There are few things I take more seriously than my beer, in order are: sports... and beer. Here are my favorite summer brews:
