4 Reasons You Should Watch "Stranger Things 2" Right Now
NSS Magazine

I'm sure if you've been on any social media lately, you've seen something about the new season of "Stranger Things." Now, if you haven't seen it yet, you may be thinking, "that show looks weird, what's so great about it?" Well, I thought the same thing... until I finally watched for myself.

I had watched season 1 when it first came out last year, and I couldn't get into it or really pay attention. But, when season 2 was released, I figured I'd give the entire series another shot. Let me say, I was not at all disappointed. Here's why:

1. The Cast

Okay, try to tell me the "Stranger Things" kids are not the cutest little angels you've ever seen. Mike, Dustin, Lucas, and Will are perfect little babies who must be protected at all costs. I can't help smile at Dustin's curly hair or Mike's attitude. Not to mention, how did these kids get so darn good at acting? Amazing.

2. The Relationships

There's quite a few amazing relationships on the show that are so important. First, can we talk about Eleven and Hopper? He basically adopted her as his own daughter and kept her safe. So. Cute. Then, there's Joyce and Bob. Bob is probably the nicest and most pure guy in the world, and he's what Joyce deserves after all she's been through. After going to hell and back to get her son back, a love interest was much needed for her. Moving on, there's Nancy and Jonathan. At first I was a big fan of Nancy and Steve, but Nancy and Jonathan literally fought the Demogorgon together from the very beginning, and we all know he's always been in love with her. Ugh. Lastly, Eleven and Mike. Mike was the only one who took her in during season 1 and she has always trusted him more than anyone. When they danced together at the Snow Ball I was truly shook. Ah, young love.


3. The Plot

Not going to lie, the plot can be confusing at times. But, what other show has a sketchy lab, another dimension, and evil demogorgons? Not to mention the little girl with superpowers and the amazing chief of police. So many amazing things in one show.

4. Joyce Byers

I've always loved Winona Ryder, but in "Stranger Things," she is just on a whole other level. She is the only one who believes that Will is still alive after his "body" was found. Basically, everyone thought she was insane because she was talking to walls and lights, but a mother always knows. She is just the best mom ever and I honestly want her to adopt me. A true queen.

Hopefully, after reading this, you're considering watching "Stranger Things." It is worth every bit of excitement and hype that seems to surround it. I know, if you're not really into science fiction, you may have your doubts. But, I never really have been into that stuff, either, and here I am, obsessed. I guarantee you will not regret putting blood, sweat, and tears (mostly tears) into this show like me and so many others have.

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.

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.

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:
