Falling apart is always an option, but sometimes we don't have the time to fall apart.

Instead Of Falling Apart Over Him, Treat Yourself To These Five Things Like The QUEEN You Are

Boys can be brutal and it sucks to take the brunt of it all. When it all hits the fan, it's okay to want to fall apart. Trust me, I want to as I type this. One minute things are going so well, and the next thing you know he blocks you and doesn't tell you why. Sickening, considering we dated for MONTHS!!! So instead of crying tear stains into your pillow, here are some other ideas for you.

1. Go to the shelter and pet some pups

Giphy

Who knows, maybe you'll find your perfect good boy while you're there and it'll make all of the pain go away. I know when someone important to me walked out, I knew I had Charlie and Stella to love on. Animals are magical in that sense. They can tell just when you need them and what you need at that time!

2. Go grab a beer with the girls

Giphy

Nothing is better than going out on a Monday and having a beer with your girls. They're always going to support you and your drinking habits...plus they're a great shoulder to cry on when you've gone through a break up. Drinks heal wounds, it's a proven fact because that was the medicine of choice back in the day. Heal them hearts girls.

3. Take a mental health day

Giphy

It is okay to not be okay. Trust me, I'm a mess. Take a day off! It'll be worth every minute. I have used a majority of my sick days on mental health days. Cook your favorite meal, go to the dog park, go to the movies, go eat some damn ice cream, and binge some Grey's Anatomy while you're at it. Have a great day to yourself! It can be life changing.

4. TREAT YO SELF

Giphy

Go buy that hot outfit you have ALWAYS wanted to wear downtown! It will be totally worth it when you see how smokin' you look in it! It's okay to spend money on yourself! Don't feel selfish about it. Money was made to be spent on more than bills and essentials. You were made to do more than pay bills and go to school! WORK IT GIRL!

5. Get your nails done

Giphy

Getting your nails done feels like the best thing this world has to offer at that time. It's just a simple thing that can change a girls view of the world. Want cute palm tree toes for summer? Cute fall pumpkins for Halloween? You can have it all, girl. Plus most places can offer you a discount if you get both your feet and hands done at the same time. My poor nail lady knows my life story; I can tell her ANYTHING and I know she'll listen to me rant while allowing me to enjoy Fixer Upper on the television.

All in all, taking the time to cope from someone important walking our of your life is so needed. It's not something everyone can get over in a day, a week, or even a month. When you love someone; it's heartbreaking to watch them leave, let alone leave you, block you, and give you zero warning or reason. Hearts break, but there are so many exciting and fun things to do to heal.

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.
