Halloween doesn't have to be about partying. Here are some ideas to fill your spooky season.

1. Bake some Halloween treats for your neighbors or roommates , or heck, even yourself.

Baking is always a fun activity to do and it's even better when you can create sweet treats that will get you into the Halloween spirit. Put on your favorite mix of spooky music, I suggest the Haunted Mansion queue music, and bake some ghost cake pops, Frankenstein cupcakes, or some mummies in a blanket (instead of pigs in a blanket) and celebrate spooky season. You might even feel brave enough to attempt making your own homemade version of the famous pumpkin spice latte! After your done baking, share the spread of treats you made with roommates or neighbors, I'm sure they will be thankful that you did.

2. Have a Halloween movie marathon.

Halloween movies are always great. Plus, they get you in a spooky mood. There are so many to choose from, from "Twitches" to the ever-famous "Hocus Pocus," there's bound to be something that you'll enjoy. Pop in a spooky movie, grab some popcorn and candy (of course) and celebrate Halloween! Not only is there a bunch of movies to choose from so you can literally have a Halloween movie marathon. This is a great thing to do with friends or even by yourself. If you don't enjoy the Halloween party scene, this activity is for you.

3. Hand out candy to the trick-or-treaters.

Handing out candy to the trick-or-treaters is always a good idea, especially if, like me, you don't have any plans this Halloween. You'll be able to enjoy Halloween, get in the Halloween spirit, and you just might be able to snag a couple pieces of candy for yourself. Not to mention, who doesn't love seeing all of the little kids in your neighborhood dress up in costume each year? I personally love seeing all of the little pirates, princesses, ghosts, and goblins trick-or-treat each year. Plus, little kids dressed up in costumes equals a cuteness overload. Am I right or am I wrong?

4. Become a scare actor in your local haunted house.

Who hasn't thought about what it would be like to be a scare actor at least once in their life? I know I have. Even if you don't enjoy being scared or even watching scary movies like me, being a scare actor in a haunted house is pretty cool, in my opinion. Not only do you get the opportunity to witness the inner workings and behind the scenes operations of a haunted house, but you also get to wear tons of cool, spooky special effects makeup and you get to be a part of something that will surely be an experience you will never forget. It may even turn out to be your best Halloween yet.

Overall, don't worry if you don't have plans for Halloween, because I can guarantee you that if you end up following one of my suggestions, you will probably end up having a great Halloween night.

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:
