You get to come back to your favorite milkshakes

Everyone in Lancaster has a different favorite place for milkshakes depending on where exactly you live, but regardless of where that is, we all know that you can find the best milkshakes in Lancaster. (It's Maplehofe milkshakes in Quarryville for me).


Shady Maple breakfast

Even if you don't live super close to Shady Maple, like me, it's still much closer than when you were at school and you can now start your tradition of going there for breakfast back up with your friends.


Park City Mall

Okay so it might not be the best mall in the world, but Park City is probably the closest to you while you're home, and it's gotten much better throughout the years. It sure beats the mall that I have near me at school!


The best PA Dutch food is so close by now

Whoopie pies, shoo-fly pie and scrapple may have been some food that you missed while away at school. Now that you're back home, you have so many places to go to get these things within a 25-mile radius!


The outlets

Tanger and Rockvale Outlets are close again. Your wallet might not be happy about it, but you sure are!


You get to be back around the Amish and the farms

Okay so this isn't exactly that much fun, but a small part of you probably missed it!


Lancaster City is so much closer again


You missed the rural life

If you're away at school in anywhere other than Lancaster, you now realize that Lancaster is way more of a rural environment than you thought. And you've surprisingly missed it.


You're back with your family and friends

Nothing's better than being back with the people that you grew up with.

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.
