Gift Ideas For the College Student

'Tis the season for holiday shopping. All the malls are lit up with their Christmas decor, the shops are playing Christmas music and the line to get your picture taken with Santa takes up half the mall. If you're like me and you've been asked a millions times by your mom, dad, aunts and grandma what you want want for Christmas and you literally have no clue, this list might be able help you and them out this holiday season.

1. Money money money.

Because the broke college student could use plenty of that.

2. Pay a bill, any bill

Lord knows we have enough of those to pay too.

3. A large donation to my college tuition

Again, there's enough of that that needs to be paid of for too...

4. An even bigger donation to my alcohol fund

What can I say, college drives us to drink.

5. Money for groceries

We're starving college students

6. Money for next semesters textbooks

Those things are literally $200.... a book

7. Starbucks gift cards

College students run on coffee

8. A day without setting an alarm

A day without setting an alarm is a day almost better than Christmas if we're being honestly.

9. A home cooked meal

Because the dining halls and microwave mac n cheese is no match for what's your momma can cook.

10. Free laundry

Because spending $1.25 a load is quit ridiculous

11. Gift cards. So many gift cards.

Gift cards literally mean free stuff, and who doesn't love free stuff ?

12. Oh, and a puppy would be nice too.

Because we all need a furry friend to cuddle with when Spring semester starts back up and the millions of hours of homework starts piling back up.

We don't ask for a lot, us college students, just a few dollars and a day to sleep in here and there. I hope this list gives you so many ideas of what to get your college student this holiday season!

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.
