The 2016 Presidential Election As Told By 'The Office'
Huffington Post

Alright, you fellow "The Office" fans. Our show may have ended a while ago, but it's still completely relevant in our every day lives. In fact, here's The Office as the 2016 presidential election.

1. Your Facebook feed.

Honestly, I love politics. I'm not the person to disregard them or vote for someone I don't know much about. However, I get on Facebook to like cute pictures of my cousins and laugh at funny things. I enjoy talking to people and keeping up with groups I follow. But my Facebook feed is Hillary, Hillary, Trump, boo Trump and boo Hillary with the occasional Pokemon thrown in there. And trust me when I say, I'd much rather everyone be talking about their latest Bulbasaur than arguing over an election we can't really change. So you can take your arguments...

2. When Donald Trump casually mentioned his father's small loan of a million dollars.

Not much to say about this, Michael Scott said it (and everything) best.

3. The third-party candidate.

I can't really keep up with Creed or the third-party candidate. Creed just kind of shows up out of nowhere sometimes, but I never really disliked him. I am rooting for the third-party candidate to do something great just like I was for Creed, and hopefully, they'll be at least half as patriotic as he is.

4. Trying to keep up with the Hillary email scandal.

Hearing the reports and comments on her dangerous email carelessness made me want to do just what Angela is doing, take some pills because that was a headache.

5. Listening to Trump speak.

Regardless of your political beliefs, I think we can all agree that Trump should maybe not say everything that comes to mind.

6. Trying to decide who to vote for.

This year's election more so comes down to who you view as the lesser of the two evils. I've spent so much time learning about the other party's candidate this year, simply because it's not a good idea to blindly vote, especially not this time around. In the past, it's been easier to decide based off of my political party. This year, I'm not so sure.

7. The people who you'd rather have elected than this year's candidates.

Kevin might not be the smartest, but I'm not sure about this year's candidates either. A vote for Kevin is a vote for America and cookies. A lot of cookies.

8. Accepting that you probably won't like the outcome of the election no matter what.

It seems like this year that there's really no good option. There's no guarantee what will happen after this. People have voted and made their choices, and those who voted otherwise aren't happy. But, it is what it is.

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:
