Going off to college? Specifically Jacksonville State? Well, here's what you should expect when you begin your college life at Jacksonville State University! Some of these may even apply to all colleges.

1. "You may cross Pelham Street"

Omg, will you get tired of hearing this! Oh, and it WILL get stuck in your head, trust me.

2. A lonnngggg walk to Stone Center, or a short drive

You will learn to know the struggle, or you can be like I was and just drive and risk that parking ticket. oops.

3. THE PARKING

The parking isn't the best and you will soon figure that out.

4. Not knowing what floor of the library to go on

12 floors! But boy are we proud to have the tallest academic building in Alabama!

5. You will inevitably get involved

I went in not wanting to get too involved because I wanted to focus on my degree and look at me now (and above is our amazing SGA officers).

6. An abundance of International people

We have an International House and it's the BOMB! It's awesome to get to know all of the international students and learn about their backgrounds.

6. You will meet some amazing people

I have met so many wonderful humans while at college. I met my future roomie the first day of class and many friends that will last a lifetime (there are my beautiful Alpha class sisters and me).

Which leads me to number 7*

7. "The friendliest campus in the south"

#TRUE. with the exception of a few staff members who can be a real pain.


You should also expect an incredible football team and band, but that's just obvious when coming to JSU, so I didn't want to list them.

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:
