College expenses add up quick- especially if you want to enjoy a social and a night out. However, there are several different ways out there to earn a few bucks time from time.

1. Donate plasma

If you get on the right schedule, this can add up quick. You can donate more often then you'd think and get paid for it every time. As a bonus, you get paid even more for your first few visits.

2. Sell your clothes on Poshmark or at Platos

It's time to Marie Kondo your closet and make a profit off it doing so. And believe me, purging clothes feels amazing in the end.

3. Have a subject you're pretty decent at? TUTOR! 

Not only can this turn a quick and easy decent sized profit, but it is also a great addition to your resume.

4. Uber or Lyft

Set your own hours. You can write your expenses off when it comes tax season, and create some hilarious memories along the way.

5. Easy peasy retail jobs

On top of getting paid for one of the easiest jobs to ever exist, you also got a bomb a$ discount on cute clothes. What better job than that?

6. Dog sitting or walking

Pet therapy is 10000% real, so why not make money off it as well?

7. Sell old textbooks

They're only collecting dust in your closet. What are you ever going to use them again?

8. Sell old graphing calculators and iClickers!

These are somethings that college students are always searching for at a discounted rate, but not something we always think about selling.

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.
