The 11 Best Things To Do On A Snow Day

Winter Storm Jonas has just hit the east coast and it has me missing grade school and all of the snow days that we used to have. Weren't those the best? You could sleep until noon, wear your pajamas all day, and really just do a lot of nothing.

1. Build a snowman.

It doesn't have to be a snow man! It could be a snow woman.

2. Make a blanket fort.

If this doesn't sound appealing to you, then I don't know what will.

3. Watch a movie (from inside the blanket fort).

This is even better until you have to clean up the fort.

4. Go sledding.

It's all fun and games until you have to walk back up the hill.

5. Go ice skating.

What else can make you feel young and pretty like ice skating?

6. Bake cookies.

While you're at it, watch this too.


7. Have hot chocolate.

You get bonus points if you make it from scratch.

8. Read a book.

Who normally has time to do this?

9. Build a fire (in the fireplace).

Disclaimer: This is really difficult to do.

10. Learn a new skill.

There's nothing else to do, right?

11. Do nothing but sleep.

Some days, you really just need to catch up on your beauty rest! Being that amazing all of the time is hard work.

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. 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:
