I've loved babies ever since I was a kid myself. Not everyone understands how it comes so naturally to me, and because of this, I've noticed that loving babies has some perks.

1. Your go-to nickname is "The Baby Whisperer"

Giphy

Taking care of babies just comes naturally to you. Some people don't understand how you can get them to smile and coo. It just happens.

2. Babysitting was your number one job as a teenager.

Giphy

You get to snuggle babies and get paid for it? That was always like free money in my book. It is something enjoyable but also has pretty decent pay.

3. You find babies wherever you go.

Giphy

Whether it's at a family gathering or church on Sunday, you always find a baby and are the first to offer to hold them.

4. Spit up and diapers don't phase you.

Giphy

You were never squeamish when it came to babies and their bodily functions. It was always something you viewed as natural, and their cuteness made up for it!

5. You're constantly urging your older siblings/cousins to have kids.

Giphy

Nieces and nephews mean getting to experience all the fun parts of having a baby without the actual responsibility. That's the dream.

6. You constantly have baby fever, but know you have to wait years before having your own kids.

Giphy

Logically, you know that college is not the right time to have babies. But they're just too cute!

7. You can't wait for the day you have children.

Giphy

And you might already have their names picked out. But that's OK, because it will be the best time of your life.

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.
