There's a million things I would rather do than wait for a text back from Chad in Sigma Apple Pie.

If you are like me, being single on Valentine's Day is really nothing out of the ordinary. February 14th is just another day to us. I've only had a boyfriend for one Valentine's Day in my entire life actually. Although it was nice to have flowers delivered to me at school, and someone to hang out with, I honestly don't feel like I'm missing out on anything extraordinary.

I think most of us can say that as a little kid, Valentine's Day was absolutely spectacular and something we definitely looked forward to every year. The day before we would spend so much time with our classmates constructing and decorating our cute little mailboxes and writing out cards to hand out to everyone in the class.

Then the day of, I always remember the classroom being decorated so exquisitely, and stocked with cookies and candy. If I were a teacher, I would definitely go ham on Valentine's decorations. At some point in the day, we would have our class party where we had the chance to pass out our cards to all of our friends and eat candy. Lets be honest, this was the chance to shoot your shot at your elementary school crush - I'm talking about you, Carl.

But as the years passed, and I lost all hope in true love - ok that's a little dramatic, but lets be honest - the day just didn't seem special to me. Every year my social media is flooded with tons of couples pictures, and long sappy posts about how they love their significant other, and that's fine! I am so happy for those couples, I truly am!

For me though, I am perfectly content with getting food, putting on a good show, and snuggling up with my cat for the night. I would rather do that than to waste my time on a guy who would probably ghost me in less than a month anyways.

Don't get me wrong though, when the right guy comes into my life I would totally be down for celebrating this so called holiday. I'm just not going to go out of my way to find another lonely and bored soul to spend it with.

So if you're like me and single as a Pringle, don't worry! Theres always next year, so for now just embrace your single status and cuddle up on the couch with your favorite show. Next thing you know it'll be St. Patricks Day and we can drink our sorrows away, if you're into that kind of thing.

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.

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.
