Who couldn't miss this campus?

What I'll Miss About UNCW: Part 1
UNCW

My last year here in college and I'm not sure I'm ready to graduate. A lot of my friends will still be here and I'll be moving onto something bigger and hopefully better. There will be new students taking my place in my favorite places around campus and old students that will also be leaving their favorite places.

1. ACE Films

First things first, I'll be missing the Association for Campus Entertainment. I joined ACE my freshman year and I haven't regretted one bit of it. From the movies that we showed to participating in "The Rocky Horror Picture Show," ACE has been there for my entire college experience.

2. Wag

Oh, Wag. I haven't experienced the Waggles (sorry to those that have), but Wag provided me with one of my first meals that seemed like home. It was also the go-to place for my suite-mates and I when we were hungry. This was long before we discovered Wag-Out.

3. Belk

Belk was my first home away from home. It was there that I met the friends that I would talk to and know for the rest of my life. It was an all-girls dorm at one point, and I still remember what room 418 looked like before I decorated it. I just hope that all of the freshmen that go through it now have good memories that they can keep forever.

4. First day of classes

The first day of classes is always kind of fun. You know, reading syllabi even if they're boring, doodling in your notebook as the teacher is going over the plagiarism policy, that kind of thing. This year, I knew at least two people in each of my classes, and I got to hang out with people I haven't seen in months.

5. Schwoodstock


I discovered this my sophomore year while I lived in the Suites. With live music, spray-painted t-shirts, and a host of different activities, Schwoodstock was one of my favorite events.

6. Dorm Life

Unlike some people, I loved living in the dorms. Every single year I met new people, and even if we didn't really hang out much by the end, there were still people that I got to talk to whenever I could. Group dinners were few and far between, and I was fortunate enough to live with one of my best friends for two years. Not only that, but I lucked out on having great suite-mates and meeting international students. UNCW is where my heart lies.

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:
