I know that not everyone is lucky enough to go on a vacation to a beach over their spring break every year, and that's totally okay! Here are some fun things that you can do if you are at home over the break. I've had more spring breaks that not at home and these things have kept me busy!

1. Binge a Show on Netflix

This is pretty obvious. I think a lot of people do this over breaks from school. Some of my favorite shows on Netflix are: The Office, The Carrie Diaries, Grey's Anatomy, and Friends. There a plenty of options, so find what you like and hunker down with a snack!

2. Have a Photoshoot with Friends

This is one of my favorite things to do when I have free time! I call up one of my friends and tell them to put a cute outfit on to go take some photos in a cool location. I have a DSLR camera, but really you can just use an iPhone if you'd rather. This is a super fun way to spend an afternoon and who knows, you might find your new favorite spot in town.

As long as the weather permits, packing a lunch and going to the park with a friend or significant other for a picnic is awesome. It's a great way to enjoy the beautiful spring temperatures and to spend quality time with someone you love.

4. Road Trip Somewhere Close

Why not take a couple of days and road trip somewhere relatively close? You could find a city within a couple of hours and go to visit somewhere new!

5. Read A Book

Since I'm an English Literature major, reading is one of my favorite things to do. Spring break is a perfect time to put up a hammock outside and crack open a new book! This is a super relaxing way to pass the time.

6. Spend Quality Time with Family

If you're going home for spring break, odds are your family might be home some of the time too. Take advantage of the time you have at home and spend time with your family!

Play board games, watch a movie or do whatever your family enjoys doing.

7. Try a New Restaurant

FOOD. There are so many restaurants that I haven't tried that I want to soon. Spring break is a great opportunity to try some new food around town.

8. Pamper Yourself

Spend a day pampering yourself. Go get your nails done, put on a face mask, take a bubble bath, etc. Just have a chill day by yourself or with a friend.

9. Go Hiking

This may not be accessible for absolutely everyone, but I think for the most part you can find some area to hike near anyone's home. You may have to drive a bit to get there but I find hiking to be so worth it!

10. Go to an Amusement Park

I personally hate amusement parks and rollercoasters, but I know tons of people love going to Six Flags or other parks like it. The weather will likely be nice over break so you can have lots of fun riding rollercoasters and running around the park.

Hopefully, I've given you some ideas for what you can do if you're having a staycation over spring break!

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.

beer on the beach

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:
