I'm in the process of growing out my hair. Lucky for me, so is my roommate.

Right now, my hair is in the awkward "frat boy" stage. The awkward stage doesn't last very long in the grand scheme of things, but it can feel like forever. Beyond that, every stage between your initial pixie cut and your goal length can feel like an awkward stage.

Here are some of the most common things I've heard since I decided to grow my hair out.

"Are you growing your hair out?"

Nope, I love this length. "Frat boy" is the aesthetic I've been aiming for!

*hair grows a little* "Wow, your hair has gotten so long!"

Has it? Has it, really?

"At least you're pretty!"

That doesn't make me any happier about this mop, but thanks. I guess.

"Why don't you just cut it?"

I don't look like this by choice, but no. I'm not gonna cut it.

"Short hair must be so much easier to style!"

Yeah! If you think that pomade, straightening, hairspray, and only being able to shower in the morning is "easy".

"Your eyebrows look really good!"

They're front and center, so believe me–I know they look good. They better.

"I like your hair better long."

Good thing I'm growing it out, then.

"You look like a lesbian now."

Hair length is synonymous with sexual orientation, so... Yeah. I get that.

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.

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:
