A Letter To My Best Friends

You were always my light.

A Letter To My Best Friends
Kaytlin Heck

To my friends that saw me through my hard times,

If anyone knows me, they know the type of person that I am: happy, outgoing, and positive. However, just like the seasons, suddenly I changed. Instead of the happy, outgoing, and positive person that I was, I found myself sad, overthinking, and negative.

This wasn’t me, and everyone around me knew that. But for some reason, I couldn’t find it in me to change, however, my friends were the light at the end of the dark tunnel I was running through.

So, thank you. Thank you for always being here for me through a period of time in which I couldn’t find myself. Thank you for not only loving me on my good days, but thank you for loving me even more on my bad days.

To the friends that forced me to go out when I wanted to stay home, thank you.

To the friends that listened to everything that I had to say, thank you.

To the friends that were there to make me laugh, when I so desperately wanted to cry, thank you.

To the friends that were always there with countless amounts of advice, thank you.

To the friends that forced my lazy self to get out of bed and go to the gym, thank you.

To the friends that saw me at my worst, and still continued to stay, thank you.

To the friends that saw the potential that I had, and forced me to reach that potential, thank you.

I continue each and everyday to work on myself, and with the help of my friends, I wouldn’t be where I am today. I will admit everyday isn’t easy, but my friends never let me feel like I am alone. I couldn’t be more thankful for my friends who love me and continue to love me on my good days and my bad days.

The easiest thing my friends could’ve done was give up on me, and instead, they did the complete opposite. For that, I am forever thankful.

I love you lots.

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:
