Yes, having a significant other is great and all. However, the single perks are absolutely worth some of those "in your feels" moments. I am not a bitter single person, in fact, I quite enjoy it. This is meant to be humorous. Enjoy!

1. You don't have to share.

Covers, food, money, time, gas, you name it. It is singularly yours. And it is a great concept of life.

2. Holidays are cheaper.

Just think about it. Less gift buying. Being giving is great, but saving those extra dollars here and there will make up for the fact that other people have cute Instagram posts.

3. More time for self care.

This is not to say that while in a relationship you have no time to care for yourself. It's just that when not in a relationship, you have more time to do and might get better at it so that you are capable of maintaining as life goes on.

4. All food/activity decisions are made by you.

No need for this age-old argument/ discussion. If you want something, you don't have to ask your significant other for their opinion. You can just go for it!

5. You don't feel any sense of guilt when going out.

GIRLS NIGHT OUT (or boys) EVERY NIGHT! Too many times have I had friends who can't go out because of their significant other. Again, when in a relationship you can still hang out with friends. BUT when you're single, you have absolutely no guilt in going out and having fun without your SO.

6. Singular schedule.

Your plans are based on you and you alone! No need to worry about working around someone else's schedule. It is all on you and you get to make the decisions for how your time is spent.

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.
