8 Things to Thank Winter Break For
NBC 10

1. Sleep

During the semester we are literally deprived from sleep. Not having to set an alarm is literally the best feeling.

2. Food

Good food is hard to come by, especially towards the end of the semester. And never is it free... at home it seems to be everywhere and everything is good.

3. Family

Not having your family at school with you can sometimes be tough. Having a full month to catch up on all that you have missed out on is great.

4. Pets

Missing the family pets is a real struggle. Having them follow your every move again is the best feeling.

5. No thoughts of school

Just by thinking about the fact I have no studying or incomplete assignments to do could make me cry tears of joy.

6. Freedom

The freedom to do anything you want and not to have to have to stay in and study...

7. Friends

Getting to spend time with your friends from high school and feel as if you haven't skipped a beat.

8. Falling more in love with college

While being home and seeing your family is great, the thoughts of missing your college-town and your new friends and new life will always be there.

If you like what you see, get a shopping cart going with these costumes.

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.
