10 Things You Didn't Know You Needed Before College
The Huffington Post

1. NAPS.


You can never get enough sleep in college.

2. Lots and lots of coffee.

The source of whatever motivation is left in you.

3. Study groups.

When you struggle together, it's not as much of a struggle.


4. A bigger laundry basket.

You either procrastinated doing laundry for weeks, or you put it off because you knew the laundry room would be packed.


5. A planner.

If it's not written on your to-do list, it's a to-don't.


6. Mental breaks.

There are times when your brain will actually give up on you, and you will have to give it the entire season of Stranger Things in order for it to function.


7. House slippers.

I guarantee you will find a way to sport them with every outfit.


8. More than one baseball cap.

Because let's face it. Every day is a bad hair day.


9. Late night Cain's runs.

Tired of the caf? Cain's is the answer.


10. A support system.

Friends can prove to be the best thing about college. We all need their care and support to get through this crazy time in our lives, and we would be messes without them.


Overall, college is a different place from high school, and it demands different things from us. If we're all being honest though, it's so worth it. Whatever else you find you need in college, there is no doubt it will be for the better.

Now go get some Cain's. You deserve it.

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.

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.
