Why Being Different Is Simply Awful!

Spoiler alert: It really isn't

Why Being Different Is Simply Awful!
Khan

The world: a beautiful gift that everyday, is wasted on people who are too preoccupied hating people who are different then them. Everyday is a gift, so to wake up and persecute and put down people who don't match your beliefs or what one person sees fit disgraceful.

Nobody in this world is exactly the same as another person, but there are some characteristics of people that make them stand out more than others, whether it be sexuality, race, religion, ethnicity, and the list goes on. Here's a list of some people or groups of people who are different and as a result of this, deserve to be treated like less then human.

Caitlyn Jenner: Caitlyn, formerly known as Bruce, Jenner is a recently male to female transgender American. Due to her being transgender, she deserves to be treated horribly. I mean, she deserves to be treated like scum just terribly cause why not, she's different.

LGBT Community: The LGBT community involves everyone who is not a heterosexual, again making them different. Don't even get me started on how horrible these people are! I mean, how dare they think that marriage equality and being able to love who you love is acceptable! Makes me ashamed. Again, they're different, so they deserve to be treated horribly.

African Americans: African Americans are Americans who have a darker skin pigmentation then white Americans. God forbid somebody has a different skin color then you, you feel compelled to treat them in a disgusting manner. But I mean hey, why wouldn't you, they're different after all.

Muslims: Don't even get me started on Muslims. They're the worst group of them all. Since there have been terrorist attacks from Muslims, it's perfectly acceptable to treat them all like terrorists because that makes perfectly logical sense. I mean, because one white American steals a car we should consider all white Americans car thieves and discriminate them to no end, right? Right, because they're what? You guessed it: different!!!

I hope by now that not only is the trend clear, but so is the message: people are different, and that's OK. Not everybody has to fit this exact mold of what a human should be, or what an American should be, or what a Christian should be, etc. There is not set mold of who a person should be. Love who you love, practice what you believe in, and unless you have something nice to say, for the sake of everyone around you, keep your mouth shut. And if that proves to be too difficult for you, thankfully technology has advanced tremendously so you can google maps the nearest store and buy a roll of duct tape to keep your heinous comments to yourself.

This is just my opinion on what is wrong with the world. Tell me what you think is wrong, and what you plan to do to change it.

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:
