Blitzen suggests you drink 5-Hour Energy with your Christmas cookies.

Your Guide To Finals Studying (From Santa's Reindeer)

Around finals time, everyone has an opinion on how to study best. We hear advice from our parents, professors, and upperclassmen. Since this time of year also marks the Christmas season, however, why have we not thought to ask some of Santa's helpers how to ace our exams? Reindeer might not take finals, but they pull the ultimate all-nighter -- flying around the world delivering toys -- with no caffeine (that we know of).

Dasher

Dasher thinks you should go to the gym instead of studying. He also wants you to know he has the best quads of all the reindeer.

Dancer

Dancer suggests you watch "The Nutcracker," go to a semiformal, or create an interpretive dance to learn orgo. She's also the one who convinced StudCo to add dance groups to LOTL.

Prancer

Prancer knows you won’t have the confidence to prance into the career center without a good GPA, so he suggests you go to a library and actually study there. You have to prance there and back though.

Vixen

Vixen wants you to look like a vixen, so she suggests you watch YouTube tutorials on eyeliner and then flirt with your TA to score an A. She also looks better than you always even though she's a reindeer.

Comet

Comet recommends you study for astronomy and forget everything else. He's also bffs with Professor Murphy and Santa is a little jealous.

Cupid

Cupid feels that UVA Crushes is the best use of your study time. He suggests you go to whichever library your crush frequents and pretend to study while you fall in love. If that fails, he suggests you download Tinder and watch "Love, Actually."

Donner

(PSA: This picture is supposedly from a version of "Rudolph" featuring Donald Trump.)

Donner has embraced his name recently and encourages you to join Donald Trump’s campaign. He believes studying is most effective when done while combing The Donald's toupee.

Blitzen

Blitzen is a crammer, so he suggests you wait until the last minute and rush through all your studying right before the exam. In addition to being a realist, Blitzen likes 5-Hour Energy with his Christmas cookies.

Rudolph

Rudolph suggests you study at night so that his nose can be your flashlight. During the day, he wants you to watch "Bridesmaids" instead of Christmas movies since Maya Rudolph is actually his cousin.

Turns out Santa's reindeer give bad study tips. I suggest you take Prancer with you to Chem and leave the others to delivering presents.

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.
