8 Things College Students Miss The Most About Grade School
WeHeartIt

Are you ever sitting in your 2 o'clock class when you catch yourself daydreaming about when times were simpler? Here is a list of the things that college students all miss the most about elementary school.

1. Nap Time

What else even comes close to deserving the number one spot?

2. Class Parties

Valentine's Day was something to look forward to instead of loathing. Getting a Valentine's Day card from your crush meant the world to you, even though we all knew that he gave them to everyone. This was basically the equivalent of a subtweet on Twitter.

3. Your parents driving you everywhere

No matter how mad we made our parents, they still had to drive us to school every morning. They definitely made sure to get their payback on us for this one. If only I had a dollar for all of the random grocery store runs I had to make in high school for my parents.

4. Snack Time

It seemed like the teachers could get us to do anything if they offered us snacks as a reward.

5. Recess

Playing foursquare, dominating at kickball and swinging on the swing set were all part of our daily routine. Rainy days were the worst.

6. Movie Days

The best days were the days when the teacher decided to play a movie instead of teaching.

7.Getting out of class

Feeling like you were on an episode of the Magic School Bus was the best.

8. Passing Notes

Way before cellphones, writing notes was the only way to communicate during your long days at school.

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.

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:
