Because there's not enough political tension already
nevermelted.com

In liberal arts colleges all across the country, students are lining up to vote with the “I’m with Her” mentality. But what about the other side? Shouldn’t we at least acknowledge some of the good qualities of the Trump campaign? I mean, not any of their “policies” or “arguments” (which at this point is just a bunch of sexist and racist words strung together to sound like sentences). However, are these really the most important aspects of a president? If you said yes, let me persuade you with these other outstanding qualities that Trump possesses:

1. The hair

Anyone who has the confidence to pull off this hair-do definitely has the gusto to take on Putin (even if they already are best friends).

2. He's the ultimate throwback

In today’s world, everyone is dying to be as sepia toned and vintage as their great-great grandmas in the 1920’s and Trump gets this. With his racist and sexist rhetoric he embodies a modern day Andrew Jackson (don’t know about Andrew Jackson? Read up here: http://www.ushistory.org/us/24f.asp)

See, Jackson gets it.

3. He doesn't hate the gay community (as much as everyone else)

So far in this election cycle, Trump has gone after everyone. From wider topics like immigrants and women, to specific people who are immigrants and women, no one is out of Trump’s reach (poor Rosie O’ Donald). The only exception, it seems, is the LGBT community. Though he doesn’t support gay marriage or gay rights, he has not specifically attacked the gay community during this election cycle (progress?).

4. Trump knows how America should be run

Let’s make America great again. Because when was it great last? When it was founded? During the greatest generation of WWII? During the Civil Rights Movement? When gay marriage was legalized? Who knows? The debate on this wages on here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uVQvWwHM5kM

5. He started with absolutely nothing

Except a small loan of a million dollars.

Cha-ching

So before you go out there and vote, keep these key qualities in mind. Your choices are between a venom spewing Democrat who says whatever will appeal to voters and Hillary Clinton. Choose wisely.

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.
