Things I Hate About The College Campus Bubble

It's a love-hate relationship.

As I was touring colleges my junior year of high school, I remember walking around thinking to myself Wow, this is beautiful. I was totally set on having a traditional college experience, with a big green campus and football and basketball games. Fast-forward 3 years later...I'm sitting here in my dorm with no car, feeling completely stranded--something I never thought about as a high school junior when I was admiring the greenery on my campus tour. The beauty of campus hasn't changed, but the practicality of it certainly has. Don't get me wrong--I love my campus. But I just can't seem to forget about the many inconveniences like:

1.  Being at school 100% of the time

You don't get to go to school and then go home. Living in a dorm means you're at school 100% of the time.

2. You don’t even know what's happening on the news

Because you probably don't have a t.v. in your room and even if you did there's no time to watch it

3. You have to wear flip-flops in the shower

4. If you live on a traditional campus without a car, getting anywhere is an ordeal

Be ready to spend $25 on an uber to the mall...and $25 back

5. Need some shampoo? Be sure to carve at least an hour out of your schedule.

First you have to walk to the edge of campus where an uber can pick you up, then wait for the uber, get what you need from the store, wait for the uber again, and walk back to the center of campus

6. Forget going out to grab some food or to see a show

No one does that on a green college campus...frat parties are just about your only option

7. Just picked up some groceries?

Good luck dragging them all the way across campus

8.  Somehow you always get out of the shower right when there’s a group of people congregating in the hallway

9. Ordering food?

You might as well just walk to the restaurant because you're going to have to walk to the edge of campus anyway to pick it up because the delivery person can't drive onto the campus greenery

10. We all may have a lot of complaints about traditional college life, but....

the camaraderie of a green college campus seems to outweigh all of the cons

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:
