Over summer, we always expect ourselves to be out with friends and having the time of our lives before heading back for moreeeeee classes. But... truth be told, it IS okay to sit back and lose yourself in a show for hours on end. Invite your friends--or don't. Whatever you do, add these to your list of shows to watch.

"Life Unexpected"

It may seem like it's constantly a roller coaster of emotions, but there are so many unexpected twists and turns that you stay locked in the entire time.

"Reckless"

This one is a little more on the feisty side, with all the romance, court cases, and sticky situations, but you'll be on the edge of your seat from the first minute. You will be rooting for characters in the beginning that you will hate in the end--and that's just the start of it.

"Life Sentence"

If you're in need of a break from your own life problems, this is where you should look for a break. This show contained SO MANY subtle life lessons. It'll have you rethinking your problems in a heartbeat. Plus our favorite actress from "Pretty Little Liars," Lucy Hale is in it!

"The Five"

Now for the more intense part of the list... this one will keep you up all night waiting to find out the ending. There are so many secrets (all of them are unraveled during the show, don't worry), that you won't know who to trust either.

"The Night Shift"

This one has a reputation for being a lot like Grey's Anatomy, but I tend to disagree. This show is incredibly intense and is full of great characters. The first episode is nowhere near a good reflection of the rest of the series. Give it a shot, especially if you would be into a series that's a cross between Grey's and Saving Private Ryan.

"Dark"

This one is a bit on the confusing side at some points, so pay close attention. This is definitely not the show to watch while you're cramming for your last summer school exams. BUT it is the show to watch on a rainy summer day--especially because it's raining during a lot of the show too (cheesy, but it works).

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:
