Why I Don't Keep Up With The Kardashians

Another episode, another headache.

Why I Don't Keep Up With The Kardashians

Everywhere I look, I feel like I’m surrounded by the Kardashians. Kim posts another nude, Kylie’s lips somehow got bigger, and Kendall did another catwalk in a fashion show. I scroll through my social media and this is all I see. Honestly, I could care less about the Kardashians and I have many reasons why.

Believe me when I say I’ve tried to like them. I really have. My college roommate was obsessed with them and I sat through half an episode. I didn’t have other plans or homework to do that prevented me from watching it. It's just that I couldn’t handle it. All their “problems” are nothing I’m interested in hearing.

They sit in their gorgeous mansions and go on great vacations while being surrounded by money and fame. I tough through money problems everyday while Kim is crying because she lost an earring in the ocean, which is a place I would give anything to be right now, by the way.

Not only are they annoying with their money, they are annoying with how they think they are influential women. I saw the response Kim had to her nude a few weeks ago.

She posted a response that included her saying, “I don’t want her to grow up in a world where she is made to feel less-than for embracing everything it means to be a woman,” referring to her daughter.

Apparently to Kim, everything it means to be a woman is to strip naked and post it for everyone to see. However, being a woman is so much more than that.

Also, she tells women to not be ashamed of their bodies, but she has had plastic surgery done. Seems contradictory to me.

Kylie is also a large part of the news. She just turned 18 and already has a mansion to herself. While it may seem I'm just bitter, because I’m only a year older but struggle to be able to afford enough groceries for the week, I just don’t think she's contributing to anything other than being a famous girl that gets tons of likes on Instagram.

Along with the rest of the Kardashians, they use their looks and money to gain popularity, which I haven't fallen victim to. Perhaps if they used their power to actually make a difference, instead of creating a game for iPhones or influencing teen girls to suck in a bottle until their lips are ridiculously swollen, I would have more respect for them.

Personally, I find no interest in watching a show that has a bunch of rich girls whining over rich girl problems. I may not know all the facts about their lives, but from what I’ve seen, I know I don’t want to see anymore.

So no, I will not be keeping up with the Kardashians this week, or ever, for that matter.

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.

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. 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:
