Thanks, but no thanks.

14 Things I Am Not Thankful For
Wall Paper Cave

1. Flies

Enough said. Flies suck, especially when it's trapped inside your car and you can't manage to kill it.

2. The Sun

You may be good for heating and lighting our planet, but get out of my eyes while i drive. I would love to actually be able to SEE the road sometimes.

3. Netflix

You have ruined my social life. Instead of talking to other humans, I sat in bed for two days binge watching 'Stranger Things' and stuffing my face with ice cream and Goldfish.

4. Daylight Savings Time

You were good for the first night when I got that blessed extra hour of sleep. But now, the sun sets at like 5 p.m., and I now eat dinner at four with the senior citizens. That forces me to find another "dinner" at 7 p.m., when normal people eat.

5. Paying for School

I'm trying to learn and take enough credits to be considered a full-time student, but spend a million dollars a semester in the process.

6. Jimmy Johns

You get here in an insanely fast time and it bothers me. How come YOU can do it but the second I order from somewhere else the wait time is 45 minutes to an hour. WHAT IS YOUR SECRET?

7. Football Season

I love it when you're here and when my team wins. But the second football season is over or my team loses once again by ONE FREAKING POINT, you are automatically at the top of my kill list.

8. Thanksgiving Dinner

Because it's the only time it's socially acceptable to eat four types of pie and three pounds of mashed potatoes in one sitting. Therefore, causing me to have the largest food coma there ever was.

9. Delish/Tasty Videos

I can’t cook and you make me think I can.

10. The Holiday’s

I look forward to you every year, and then you show up and my wallet is empty. Why must you make me want to buy my friend’s dog a new chew toy? He doesn’t know who I am, and it’s not like he’s getting me a gift in return.

11. Timehop

Every day is a new look back at how awkward I was just a mere three years ago. Why did I find it necessary to tell all my Facebook friends that I was going to the mall with so and so and we were also going to the movies? They don’t care, and future me doesn’t either.

12. People Who Like Scary Things

For the 100th time, no I will not sit with you and watch demons take over a haunted house and kill everyone inside. No, I will not pay money to get scared out of my mind and not sleep for weeks.

13. Friends Who Go to Different Colleges

Transfer so we can hang out. The End.

14. Writing Odyssey Articles

I try to be relatable and funny and I’ll read them back and realize that I am not funny at all. Like seriously, listen to yourself: you’re not funny.

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:
