12 Ways to Have the Best Gal-entine's Day Ever

Gal-entine's Day. For those of you who don't know what I'm talking about, Gal-entine's Day takes place on February 13th, the day before Valentine's Day, where you ditch the boys and take a day to hang out with your gal pals. So here are a few ideas.

1. Netflix and Chill- but for real.

Pull out the remote and put on some "Friends" or "Gossip Girl" and just chillax.

2. Go out dancing.

Salsa, Swing, or just plain dancing. Go out with some friends and dance the night away.

3. Go on a picnic

Who says picnics have to be romantic? Find the best park, roll out a blanket and pack a delicious lunch (or, ya know, order something from Chipotle and bring it with you).

4. Fancy Dinner

Make-up on, dressed to the nines and treat yo self to an amazing dinner with your best girl friends.

5. Secret Sister

Pull names and send your girl a package. This is especially great because then you don't have to get anything for everyone, just one person.

6. Give Each Other Makeovers

Nothing feels better than getting all dolled up even if you have nowhere to go. It is also fun to make over friends in ways that they would never do themselves.

7. Go out to coffee

Coffee is always a good choice. Even if you don't like coffee, get a chai or italian soda and catch up with your girls.

8. Pinterest Party

These are the best. Either set a craft that everyone can do together, or have everyone do their own and bring their supplies so that you can all just craft in each others presence.

9. Panty Exchange

Similar to Secret Santa, but not quite. Have each person put their name, panty size and 2-3 adjectives about what they would like. You then exchange and see what hilarity ensues.

10. Watch a Female Empowerment Movie

No better way to proclaim how much you love your girl friends than by watching a movie that reaffirms your badassery.

11. Baking Contest

Whip out the flour and sugar and have everyone bake their favorite sweet. Have a taste test. Then eat it all.

12. Eat Ben & Jerry's and Gab

Or the good old classic, minus the break up crying. Just sit, talk, catch up and laugh because your friends are the best and we all dont admit that enough.

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.
