30 Little Things We Love About College
Sam Kuchinski

As college students, many of us roughing it in off-campus apartments or living the sub-par dorm life. We either gain a billion pounds from the sometime questionably edible dining hall food or we survive off of Easy Mac and ramen. However, these are undoubtably the best years of our life so far. We don't really care that we don't have the luxuries of home because we're finally on our own.

In the case, though, that you need a simple reminder of the little luxuries and simple things we have in our new humble abodes and lives, here are 30.

1. When the showers are actually warm.


2. When the dining hall has your favorite food.


It's rare, but it's exciting.

3. When it's above 40 degrees walking to class.


Us Western New Yorkers really know that one

4. Getting care packages unexpectedly.


5. The oddly satisfying feeling of putting your dishes on the carousel in the dining hall.


Those who had to do dishes at home know the feeling

6. All the free stuff you can get from job fairs, club fairs, etc.


You never know how many drawstring bags you need.

7. Finally washing your sheets and laying in bed.


8. Getting to bed before midnight.


9. Student discounts at local stores.


Thank you, Subway and Tasty Time.

10. Never having to eat a meal alone.


11. Waking up for an 8:30 A.M. and somehow not being exhausted.


12. The feeling of finishing a really long paper.


You will complain while writing it, yet there really is no better feeling when it is done.

13. Having time to take a nap in between classes.


14. Getting a friend's Hulu or Netflix password.


(A blessing and a curse.)

15. Balancing your first balance sheet in accounting 201.


In the words of Professor Bysiek.

16. Having your friends visit and getting to show off your new home.


17. Looking back at pictures from earlier in the year.


You'll be glad you took them

18. Going for a joy ride.


As much as you love it, sometimes you need to actually leave campus for a bit.

19. Getting your schedule down to the minute.


Because you never want to be too early for class.

20. When the buffet lines are short in the dining hall.


Extra clutch during breakfast.

21. A freshly microwaved bowl of Mac N Cheese in hand


...while laying in bed, watching "Friends."

22. Knowing that heaven in a box (pizza) is only a phone call and 30 minutes or less away at the earliest hours of the morning.


23. Acing a really hard test/midterm/final.


24. When you look on point going out on the weekends.


Again, you will be happy you took pictures.

25. Group cuddle sessions with the best friends.


Any day, any time.

26. Holidays.


We all know they're bigger and better in college -- like how much did we really care about St. Patrick's Day at home?

27. Studying outside.


It is even better when none of your papers blow away.

28. Having a randomly, extremely productive day.


29. Cleaning your dorm room.


And, even though we love our new called home and are sad to leave, the best feeling will always be...

30. Giving your parents a hug after not seeing them for month when it's time to go home.

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.

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.
