15 Signs You're From Clarks Summit
personal

Whether you've lived in the area your entire life or just for a little while, you can probably relate to these signs.

1. The Armetta's sign

You can't pass it without taking a look. Plus, their pizza is great.

2. Summit University

It's probably has been renamed about 300 times by now. It has been changed so often you have lost count. Is it BBC, Clarks Summit University, or Summit University? Who knows.

3. Manning's.

Whether its the farm location or the one at the hub of Clarks Summit, is and will always be your ice cream of choice . You probably know the people that work there and are always happy to see them.

4. Summit Pointe has a lovely view any time of year.

5. Most of your friends from home live within ten minutes of you, and you probably grew up with them.

You'll always be there when they need you, and vice versa. (Thanks a million times over for that!)

6. You either went to Scranton Prep or Abington Heights.

Whichever one you didn't graduate from you probably greatly dislike.

7. There is most likely a back road to wherever you travel, and it is quite scenic.

You probably take the long way home.

8. NEPA is the only place where people say "tray" instead of "pie."

Stick to your roots, it's a tray.

9. People refer to the main strip of Clarks Summit as "the notch" and that's pretty much all you know about it.

10. When someone asks you where you're from, you just say Scranton.

No one really knows where Waverly, Dalton, Newton, or Clarks Summit are if they aren't from the area.

11. You feel an obligation to like Moe's better than anywhere else.

I'm not complaining, though.

12. South Abington Park has seriously stepped up its game in the past few years.

You probably used to play by the water fountains as a kid.

13. You can get anything at Sheetz.

Wawa isn't part of your vocabulary.

14. You like to visit the State Park because it's just plain beautiful.

15. But ultimately whether you stay or you go, it's always home.

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:
