Amazon Prime: A College Student's Best Friend

1. Costumes

Whether you need a costume for Halloween or an outfit for a date function, Amazon most likely has what you are looking for. So, instead of spending hours searching local stores for your outfit, order your costume on Amazon Prime and have everything delivered in just 48 hours.

2. Pens, Pens, Pens!


Life Hack: Not only does Amazon have a wider variety of pens than any store, but the pens also tend to be cheaper!

3. Food? Yes, Food.


If you ever find yourself craving a specific snack food, but cannot find it on campus or in your local grocery store, Amazon Pantry is the perfect solution. Yes, this is not a joke. You can order snacks online and have them delivered within 48 hours! However, while this system may seem too good to be true, it can also contribute to the freshman 15, so be careful!

4. Replacement Items


Broken charger? Order a new one on Amazon. Sick of your phone case? Order a new one on Amazon. Laptop case? Amazon. Headphones? Amazon. See the trend? Amazon is always the answer.

5. Textbooks...Seriously take this advice!


Whether you are purchasing textbooks at the start of the semester or extra books for a research project, the prices will almost always be lower on Amazon. Whether you want to rent or buy your class materials, save a few bucks by ordering online instead of in your campus bookstore.

6. Items You Never Thought You Would Need


In college, you will find yourself purchasing items you never thought that you would need. So whether it be a fanny pack for long nights out, strands of costume beads, or collectable shot glasses, Amazon is the place for you.

7: Entertainment


Games, games, games! Amazon has everything you need to transform a "boring night in" into a party! So go crazy and order card games, board games, and video games to play with your friends when you just aren't feeling up to going out. These nights, you will find, may actually be some of your most memorable nights at college.

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.

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.
